@DSinck @amwilson_opera I really like what I've seen of Elsi's art. Byron Rogers's biography of J. L. Carr is also well worth reading.

@DSinck @amwilson_opera Fantastic book - one of the funniest I ever read

'The psychic researcher Arthur Guirdham crossed Otmoor one hot summer day in 1933 and was overcome by the sense of ‘an old evil’ in the ‘grey-green silence of the heavy vegetation.’ On reaching his inn, he collapsed with a nervous illness that prostrated him for days.' Link below

@tomieinlove @nguyenhdi I think there's a sly humour in quite a lot of Wordsworth, often of a mock heroic kind. In his great essay Hazlitt described W as having a ‘convulsive inclination to laughter about the mouth’.

@HiddenYorkshire Bob Dylan *in 1993*: 'technology to wipe out truth is now available. not everybody can afford it but it's available. when the cost comes down look out!'

@LeandadeLisle Aged about 6, my daughter told me she fancied being a princess when she grew up. I told her that in that case, she would almost certainly have to marry a prince. She seemed a little downcast but then perked up and asked 'Who would I have to marry to be a buildings inspector?'
