Yesterday I reviewed/interviewed a WWII novel that I think you'd like. The female protagonist is a pilot and a poet. Rose Under Fire is beautifully written.Sarah Laurencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00423008641739156182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-67403708859399761402013-09-05T14:05:34.431-04:002013-09-05T14:05:34.431-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Sarah Laurencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00423008641739156182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-26999407433801554012013-09-05T04:04:53.915-04:002013-09-05T04:04:53.915-04:00Seamus Heaney was one of those very rare people wh...Seamus Heaney was one of those very rare people who seemed to be loved and respected by everyone. His words certainly spoke across the great divides. I wonder if you ever came across "The Rattlebag"?<br /><br />On another note entirely, we recently visited the London home of Emery Walker. I feel you will already know about it?

When I settled into the USA for my two month stay this past summer, I wavered on whether to have the TV reception hooked up an decided against it. I had a few movies for those quiet nights, music, books...and good conversation. I felt the news could wait until my Sunday ramble through the NY Times. The only other newpaper I picked up was the local one..because they are always so much fun to read. This post, this poem..your thoughts on life is what I enjoy so much about your blog. Kindred spirts..I have always felt it. You always catch my heart with your words and blow it open..I call it positive energy.

As and Irish Catholic and, I believe, the youngest of nine children, he could have come out strongly but he didn't - he maintained his dignity and became a much respected figure throughout the world. His funeral has been today and was reported on our news a few minutes ago.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-86564619421581138372013-09-02T12:38:35.778-04:002013-09-02T12:38:35.778-04:00Well said, Thank you for your reflections.
