I should get used to using Hubzilla Wiki pages to use photo albums, with some concentrated practice it should become second nature. It's probably taking so long because of experience with similar markdown formats, and with bbcode in Hubzilla, and I don't have enough experience to switch among the various dialects.

A Start Page search fro the Japanese translation of a interview on turned up a writing I did about the books. I wish I could find that org-file again, but I've been thinking of recreating the quote and source pointers with 's for a while. But it was hard for me to focus on writing while using scribble. gdm-japan.net/uploads/yearbook

> Shelley is the poet for a revolutionary age. He is the poet of hope, as Wordsworth is the poet of wisdom. He has been charged with being intangible and unearthly, but he is so only in the sense in which the future is intangible and unearthly. He is no more unearthly than the skylark or the rainbow or the dawn.

> I neglect God and His angels for the noise of a fly, for the rattling of a coach, for the whining of a door. I talk on in the same posture of praying, eyes lifted up, knees bowed down, as though I prayed... a noise in mine ear, a light in mine eye, an anything, a nothing, a fancy, a chimera in my brain troubles me in my prayer." From The Art of Letters, too
