"If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant: if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome."

Image of three books: Mistress Bradstreet: the Untold Life of America's First Poet, None But the Righteous by Chantal James, and American Jezebel by Eve LaPlante.

Excited to take a break this weekend from my research on John Berryman and 17th-century Puritan America by reading Chantal James's novel.

“Eu valorizo o teu amor mais do que minas inteiras de ouro, ou todas as riquezas que o Oriente mantém.
Meu amor é tanto que os rios não podem saciar.
Nada além, senão o amor que de ti provém, pode recompensar.”
