Pickpick

December 11 marks the 100 year anniversary of the author's death, a fact I only became aware of when reading about Schreiner after finishing the book. I recommend with reservations. Be prepared to hold two opposing views simultaneously here. Pros: Beautiful writing on nature, spirituality, and society expectations of women and men. Cons: Jarringly racist views and perjorative terms. My #DoubleSpin read for #BookSpinBingo. #classics

This is a meandering book but in the flow of words we get little gems like this.

From a book published in 1881. Have we humans progressed beyond this or not?
