Redecorated this decorative shelf in my living room for Valentine‘s Day and transition to spring (even though it‘s still decidedly winter in Alaska). Finally had to swap out the Christmas decorations…
from “The Soul's Expression”
With stammering lips and insufficient sound
I #strive and struggle to deliver right
That music of my nature, day and night
With dream and thought and feeling interwound
And only answering all the senses round
With octaves of a mystic depth and height
Which step out grandly to the infinite
From the dark edges of the sensual ground.

#OldCoolBooks | May 1: old cool books
I found this 1886 5-volume set of Elizabeth Barrett Browning‘s Poetical Works at Blue Whale Books in Charlottesville, VA. Not only do I love EBB‘s poetry, but these books are beautiful! And in good condition for their age.
To kick-off, #NationalPoetryMonth, my 5-volume 1886 set of Elizabeth Barrett Browning‘s Poetical Works. I found this wonderful set in a used bookstore in Charlottesville, Virginia last month. I love #poetry and EBB and used books! This set has made such a nice addition to my personal library!
