George William Russell (Æ)
George Russell (Æ), Poet, Painter, Editor, Essayist, #BornOnThisDay in 1867, in Lurgan, Co. Armagh, Ireland
From ‘Reflections’:
“We go on our enchanted way
And deem our hours immortal hours,
Who are but shadow kings that play
With mirrored majesties and powers.”
From the archive for Claudia Piñeiro, #BornOnThisDay in 1960, my thoughts on A LITTLE LUCK (tr Frances Riddle).
I loved this quietly gripping exploration of motherhood, split-second decisions & their devastating consequences. A 5-star knockout read for me!

🎶 But he laid it all aside to follow Jesus
For years he chose to let his music go
But preaching wasn’t really meant for Leonard
But how in the hell was Leonard s’posed to know 🎶
