‘Beneath those rugged elms, that yew-tree’s shade, Where heaves the turf in many a mould’ring heap, Each in his narrow cell for ever laid, The rude forefathers of the hamlet sleep.’ ~Thomas Gray, Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard, 1751. #BookWormSat 🪦⚰️⛪️ 🖼️ B Haughton

'A glorious collection of intimate connections with nature. Beautifully phrased, takes you to pleasantly unexpected places. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. It fizzles, crackles with abundant and vivid life. A Must Read.' Review by @thewombwellrainbow.bsky.social Available from:

Goodnight. ‘Oh whence do you come, my dear friend, to me With your golden hair all fallen below your knee And your face as white as snowdrops on the lea And your voice as hollow as the hollow sea?’ The Poor Ghost, Christina Rossetti. #BookWormSat 🖼️ Aksel Johannessen, c.1920.

‘It's not only what we have inherited from our father and mother that walks in us. It's all sorts of dead ideas, and lifeless old beliefs, and so forth. They have no vitality, but they cling to us all the same, and we can't get rid of them…’ 1/2 Ibsen ~ Ghosts #BookWormSat

Whenever I take up a newspaper, I seem to see ghosts gliding between the lines. There must be ghosts all the country over, as thick as the sands of the sea. And then we are, one and all, so pitifully afraid of the light.’ 2/2 🖼️ Ghosts Of American Gothic, Jeffrey Bess.
