“ I hold that a strongly marked personality can influence descendants for generations. ”
Believe there is a great power silently working all things for good, behave yourself and never mind the rest.
~ Beatrix Potter
Thank goodness my education was neglected.
In Summer there were white and damask roses, and the smell of thyme and musk. In Spring there were green gooseberries and throstles [thrush], and the flowers they call ceninen [daffodils]. And leeks and cabbages also grew in that garden; and between long straight alleys, and apple-trained espaliers, there were beds of strawberries, and mint, and sage.
If I have done anything, even a little, to help small children enjoy honest, simple pleasures, I have done a bit of good.
