| | My side ribs feel wonderful today - still - from Tuesday night's yoga. Hubby hugged me last night and popped my back in a good way.
Our book club will be reading Tracy Chevalier's Burning Bright. (Tracy, by the way, is a woman.) I've seen her stuff on shelves before and am excited that Jeri recommended it and the ladies agreed. Hubby picked it up from the library for me. Perhaps I'll be good and start it tonight. Ah yes, reading Chevalier's site I am reminded that this is about William Blake. While I am still caught up on Keats's "Negative Capability," William Blake remains the intrigue of the English Romantic Poets. No, it's not just pretty landscapes and dull, empty romance. Dig under the poetry to the hearts of the poets - and their private notes and letters - and there's a lot more there. I don't know it well enough to teach it, but I did have an amazing teacher last fall who made a subject I thought I would hate totally come alive for me.
Wow, that rant went somewhere I didn't expect. Zut alors!
