Trying to get back in the habit of posting... so, apropos to nothing, today I'm working on a paper on Madelina Forbes Mitchell - 'The Persian Nightingale' - the granddaughter of #CharlotteSmith who moved to Adelaide in 1838. British #Romanticism meets colonial Australia and local history.

Silene, who declines
The garish noontide's blazing light;
But when the evening crescent shines,
Gives all her sweetness to the night.
