Song in a Minor Key by Dorothy Parker
It's #WorldPoetryDay on Thursday. Here's a short poem. I might post a few more in the run up to the day too.
As an aspiring author, this quote resonates with me on a daily basis! Writing is the hardest thing I‘ve ever tried...
I‘m going to be spamming images of this book all weekend.
A 1917 Vanity Fair classic by Dorothy Parker, who knew about mansplaining 100 years before there was a word for it.
The epigraph sums it up nicely.
8 years ago I loaned out my copy of this particular edition. I never again saw it and have missed it dearly. I found a nice copy online and it will never leave my home without me.
Leave for her a red young rose,
Go your way, and save your pity;
She is happy, for she knows
That her dust is very pretty. 4w
