"When you love men, the world quickly becometh yours: and yourself become a greater treasure than the world is. For all their persons are your treasures, and all the things in Heaven and Earth that serve them, are yours. For those are the riches of Love, which minister to its Object."
-Thomas Traherne, "Centuries of Meditations"
Do you ever find yourself standing in front of your bookshelves, wondering what to read next, and your eyes land on a book that you‘ve had for years? That happened to me with this one and it‘s so good!
Ursula Flight is a young girl in Restoration England, married off to a bit of a gruesome older husband, who wants to write and see the theatre and act and do so much more with her life. Her narrative voice is quirky and absolutely delightful.
pickWell researched and written like a thriller, this was a fast, fascinating read. I had no idea that Pepys had gone through anything like this. And the dangers of “populist” movements are hard to ignore. #bookspin @TheAromaofBooks
The view from the porch as I read about a Parliament scarily close to our House of Representatives. “On 9 May, still furious that Charles‘s pardon of Danby had made a mockery of their authority, the Commons resolved that even to express the opinion that Danby‘s pardon was legally valid was a criminal offence.”
Started my #bookspin this evening, sitting on the porch of the cabin in the mountains where we are vacationing. #bookspin @TheAromaofBooks
so-soThe narration was excellent, but the way it was written was confusing for me as someone new to the study of 17th century England. I didn‘t understand why some aspects were heavily covered and some were barely touched on.
3/5 Read for a brief history of the British Civil War, a long history of the religious turmoil that led to it, & a smattering of history of thought, including an in depth but limited in scope discussion of The Blazing World
"To love one person with a private love is poor and miserable: to love all is glorious."
-Thomas Traherne, "Centuries of Meditations"
"It is a strange thing that men will be such enemies to themselves. Wisdom is the principal thing, yet all neglect her. Wherefore get wisdom, and with all thy getting get understanding. Exalt her and she shalt promote thee, she shall bring thee to honour when thou dost embrace her. She shall give to thy head an ornament of grace, a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee."
-Thomas Traherne, "Centuries of Meditations"
