"I met folk riding from the north

Towards Rome, to purge them of their souls' offence,

And rode with them, and spake to none;

So rode I, hearing all these chant and pray,

And marvelled."

Algernon Charles Swinburne, "Laus Veneris"

The Sonnet (1880). Dante Gabriel Rossetti (English, 1828-1882). Pen and ink.

In 1880, Frances Rossetti turned eighty. In honour of her birthday, the poet Christina Rossetti gave her mother a copy of David Main’s Treasury of English Sonnets, embellished with a hand-written sonnet of her own and an illuminated sonnet by her painter-poet brother, Dante Gabriel Rossetti. With their dual English/Italian heritage, the Rossetti siblings were proficient sonneteers themselves.

“The Gospel loops and swirls in a heavenly helix through every strand of Lutheran DNA. It is in the blood. The word “evangelical” originated with the Lutheran Church. Lutherans claimed it first. In Germany, the Lutheran Church was historically called the “Evangelische Kirche”, the Evangelical (that is, Lutheran) Church. Lutherans were evangelical before it was cool. The word comes from the Greek word (“evangelion”) for “good news” or “Gospel”. Although it is now an evangellyfish buzzword, evangelical originally meant proclamation of the Gospel. An evangelical church confesses the Gospel of Jesus Christ.“— from #BeingLutheran by A. Trevor Sutton #CPH #ConcordiaPublishingHouse • • • Finally getting around to reading this book. Loving it so far! † (at Carrollton, Texas)

My heart always timidly hides itself behind my mind. I set out to bring down stars from the sky, then, for fear of ridicule, I stop and pick little flowers of eloquence.

be poetic. if you find the way the light falls through your window and onto your bedroom wall pretty, write about it. call it soft and golden as sunlit honey. if it makes you glad to be alive then it’s not silly. you look for the beauty of things, be proud of that. say the heavy rain is kissing you. write about the glow of the moon, the dancing of flowers. make your world magical. collect your metaphors and treasure them.

Grateful for a warm winter day 😊
