I think you write wonderfully Alison! Especially about thgins you love .like art and history. What draws you (no pun intended) to the painting of Esther? I had not seen the The Black Brunswicker before. How interesting to see the folds of the gown incorporated into the painting. It must have been wonderful to see them all in person.

Also notable: the ltitle girl in the new film Hugo recites from Christina Rossetti!I might mention that a psychoanalytic approach to her religious materials is a waste of time it completely misinterprets her mode of writing, the content of her writing, and her context. She would be appalled at the cover of that book that was posted on the main page. Hopefully, you understand since you seem to adore the Pre-Raphaelites! [url= [link=

The life of E. Nesbit, of which I now know only a little, is a good example too.
