Recent second-hand purchases 🍃 . . (On my stories, I will post the list of women featured in the collection of Early Modern Writing. From the list, I am only familiar with Margaret Cavendish, Aphra Behn & a few poems by Katherine Philips, so I am curious to dive into this book) 🍃 . . Also, I am craving some Eliot this month. Would you fancy a readalong of Romola? 🍃 . . . . . . . . . #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #georgeeliot #secondhandbooks #igbooks #igreads #bookish #earlymodernwriters #womenauthors #womenwriters #readwomen2018 #readwomen #classics #readclassics #readalong #fridayreads

"The snow man - Wallace Stevens One must have a mind of winter To regard the frost and the boughs Of the pine-trees crusted with snow; And have been cold a long time To behold the junipers shagged with ice, The spruces rough in the distant glitter Of the January sun; and not to think Of any misery in the sound of the wind, In the sound of a few leaves, Which is the sound of the land Full of the same wind That is blowing in the same bare place For the listener, who listens in the snow, And, nothing himself, beholds Nothing that is not there and the nothing that is." . . . . . . . . . #lateautumn #fromwhereistand #firstsnow #wallacestevens #instapoetry #poetry

'The Unicorn', by Iris Murdoch (1963) is a tale of imprisonment where it is not clear who is the prisoner of whom. I loved this novel for its deliciously Gothic atmosphere. You can read my full review on my blog (link in bio). . . . "There are things which are appalling to young people because young people think life should be happy and free. But life is never really happy and free in any beautiful sense. Happiness is a weak and paltry thing and perhaps ”freedom” has no meaning. There are great patterns in which we are involved, and destinies which belong to us and which we love even in the moment when they destroy us.” ― Iris Murdoch, The Unicorn . . . . . . . #irismurdoch #bookstagram #books#igbooks #igreads #bookreview #bookrecommendations #bookblogger #readwomen2018 #readwomen

"White-Eyes - by Mary Oliver In winter all the singing is in the tops of the trees where the wind-bird with its white eyes shoves and pushes among the branches. Like any of us he wants to go to sleep, but he's restless— he has an idea, and slowly it unfolds from under his beating wings as long as he stays awake. But his big, round music, after all, is too breathy to last. So, it's over. In the pine-crown he makes his nest, he's done all he can. I don't know the name of this bird, I only imagine his glittering beak tucked in a white wing while the clouds— which he has summoned from the north— which he has taught to be mild, and silent— thicken, and begin to fall into the world below like stars, or the feathers of some unimaginable bird that loves us, that is asleep now, and silent— that has turned itself into snow."
