No I haven't read them, I was not even aware of their existence. A gross oversight on my part, I must say. I shall have locate a copy.

I <3zor GMH. I will forgive the godliness just because it's so pretty, and fairly inoffensive. Also cute and fluffy!

(i hate it when i do that)

Yes exactly!!!!!!!! So cute!!! And it may be religious, but it's also excedingly homoerotic, in that repressed Victorian way.... <3

You must find an edition of his journals that includes his drawings and sketches. I used to have scans..... What did I..? Oh right I made icons out of them. >:}

"Spring and Fall, to a Young Child" is still one of my favorite poems; nicest-sounding, not pretentious...

you know, I remeber those icons, but I didn't recognize them at the time. I most certainly shall have to find an illustrated copy. I wonder if our library has one, we've got lots of obscure old stuff.
