I read seasonally, thematically, with an organizational system that relies on a hazy, haphazard, Jezebelian system of thought more heavily than an established methodology such as Dewey's Decimal System, Robert's Rules of Order, or Murphy's Law.

I am, at the moment, readying myself for a vespertine winter with my black swan. I finished The Voyage of the Narwhal, had the annual meeting with Andersen's Snow Queen over cinnamon coffee, and am now living in the particular phantasm of Mark Helprin's Winter Tale. It is possible I might never leave.

shipwrecked, black-eyed, the vivians prowled jamaica



It was a kind of paradise for English children to come to, whatever it might be for their parents: especially at that time, when no one lived in at all in a wild way at home. Here, one had to be a little ahead of the times: or decadent, whichever you like to call it. The difference between boys and girls, for instance, had to be left to look after itself. Long hair would have made the evening search for grass ticks and nits interminable: Emily and Rachel had their hair cut short, and were allowed to do everything the boys did: to climb trees, and trap animals and birds: they even had two pockets in their frocks.
