Master List for In a Corner of My Soul (previous chapters / scenes)

( One wall of the Ashworth family library had been denuded of books to create a gallery for the taxidermal invasion otherwise known as the old mad Lord's unfortunate obsession with the avian physique. A good third of the books had been moved to what had once been a minor drawing room. Antonia, unfortunately, did not have the authority to return the books to their rightful place. Her father-in-law had stipulated in his will that his heir leave the birds on display exactly as they'd been in his lifetime. Her dear departed Vernon had made no such stipulation in his will but Cecil would not be moved on the subject. His grandfather had wanted the birds on display in the library; there they would remain. )

appreciation

I don't know who decided this but it's fanfic writer's appreciation day. I'm off to share the love.

Sea Lily by H. D.

Reed,

slashed and torn
but doubly rich—
such great heads as yours
drift upon temple-steps,
but you are shattered
in the wind.

Myrtle-bark
is flecked from you,
scales are dashed
from your stem,
sand cuts your petal,
furrows it with hard edge,
like flint
on a bright stone.

Yet though the whole wind
slash at your bark,
you are lifted up,
aye—though it hiss
to cover you with froth.
