Lydgate, how I do believe you could be correct. If the weather were to be so gloomy than the flowers would be a dread to look at. It would be sad to see them look so depressing. I would not want to even look out the window. I do enjoy the rain, but I must… View More

I do appreciate your kind words.  My Casaubon was a very stubborn, head strong man.  I grew frustrated at times because he treated me as though I was a child.  Even through all of this I still loved him and was sad to see him pass.  I am happy I have now found someone who… View More

These tales are so much darker than I am used to.  I find myself struggling to understand all the references this Eliot makes.  I wish I had a more thorough education to better understand the poem.  I do say my favorite part is the beginning of The Burial of the Dead.  I thought the way… View More

I do wish that you would not strain yourself.  You heard what Dr. Lydgate said.  Your heart is in no condition for you to worry so.  If you would only allow me to assist you in your work.  I could be of great help to you and you needn’t worry so much if you had… View More

Thank you very much for your reply, my dear. It filled my very soul with love and positivity. It makes me happy knowing you would never want me to be in the same position the poor souls in They found themselves in, although, I honestly already knew that, but it is never wrong to remind the… View More

I apologize for the miscommunication, Mrs. Garth, but I believe if you read my original response once more, you will see I wrote that I think it is silly that a man should necessarily be the one to provide for one’s family, with the woman staying home to care for the home and children.

As a scholarly man myself, I cannot understand this man’s work. Where is the timeline??? Time lines are straight forward… not all over the place. I might be an older gentleman and a bit old fashioned, but this is an outrage. Once I finish my life’s work of the Key to All Mythologies (which will… View More
