A Room To Be Wed In

[eternalrocksbeneath]

Based in Suffolk, filmed on the Isle of Man and Manorbier Castle, Wales, I rewatched I Capture the Castle last week and felt nostalgic for feelings that weren't mine.

On the subject of autumn and old houses in the book -

"I shall come back alright. I could never desert Scoatney.'

I said I knew he loved it dearly.

"Dearly and sadly. In a way, it's like loving a beautiful dying woman. One knows the spirit of such houses can't survive very much longer."

Then we spoke of the autumn - he hoped he would be in time to catch a glimpse of it in New England.

'Is it more beautiful than this?' I asked

"No. But it's less melancholy. So many of the loveliest things in England are melancholy." He stared across the fields, then quickly added - "Not that I'm melancholy this afternoon. I never am, when I'm with you."

It's spring, but I'm always thinking about autumn.
