@johnbyronkuhner My aunt gave me this book when I was a kid, knowing my interest in history and mythology.

Still grateful to this day for that.

Just sold a copy of the Iliad to a 10 year old who wants to try Homer. She's read 5 Percy Jackson books and wants "the originals" now. Kudos to her and to her mom who brought her down to the bookshop.

“Spring came in softly through his open window; it whispered to him tales of green hedges and misty woods and close-cropped rolling grass.” ~A.A.Milne

@TheAtlantic Brilliant article, but sounds like the movie is “Fifty Shades of Grey” kinda sorta meets Wuthering Heights i.e. Fifty Shades of Candy Pop.” Infantilizing indeed.

The German name for the primrose, Schlüsselblume, means “key flower,” said to be inspired by a Flemish legend. According to the tale, these flowers were placed upon the earth to “unlock” spring, ushering in a vibrant procession of blossoms and bright sunshine. #folklore #nature

“One of the most glorious sights on a winter’s day is to see a flock of starlings rise from a field, sweep through the sky, and the settle again as a single entity, as if one single brain directs it, one single set of muscles controls its movement.” ~C.R.Milne #Birds

@cspencer1508 @AlthorpHouse Well deserved retirement. Happy, long holidays to Aslan.

A charming little film from 1957 of a postman doing his daily rounds on his horse across Dartmoor. Delivering letters to farms and cottages with his dog by his side.

"Character — the willingness to accept responsibility for one’s own life — is the source from which self-respect springs."

Young men should adopt Lewis & Tolkien as masculine role models. Scholars, war heroes, feasting on the nectar of ancient poetry in rain-drenched pubs—and both a million times cooler than Andrew Tate.
