When I am dead, my dearest,/sing no sad songs for me;/plant thou no roses at my head,/nor shady cypress tree:

be the green grass above me/with showers and dew drop wet;/and if thou wilt, remember,/and if thou wilt, forget.

I shall not see the shadows,/I shall not feel the rain;/I shall not hear the nightingale/sing on, as if in pain:/and dreaming through the twilight/that doth not rise nor set,/haply I may remember,/and haply may forget.

Bookwormjillk I can‘t believe he made him write it in the Bible. These kids are stuck parenting their parents. 1d

dabbe This novel takes a Gothic turn when #tetchytully states that the river gets angry when the mill changes hands, and “there's no telling whether there mayn't be summat in the story, for this is a puzzling world, and Old Harry's the devil got a finger in it.“

More reference to the river--not in a good way. #yikes 😱

dabbe @mcctrish Oh, the voodoo that she will do ... 🤣 1d
mcctrish @dabbe or #tetchytully thinks he‘s more important than he actually is 😉😆 #ivoteforvoodoo 1d
Leftcoastzen Now a disaster with the river seems eminent! #yikes 1d

julieclair A river disaster is definitely coming. And writing that curse in the family Bible for all future generations to see. Oh my! #tetchytully is tetched in the head. 🤪 20h

Bookwormjillk Someone needs to get those teapots back 2d
julieclair @mcctrish I was hoping she was going to hide one of the teapots so it couldn‘t be sold. Like bury it in the garden or something. 20h
mcctrish @julieclair she could have stuffed it into the chair 18h

Mehso-so

This was my least favourite Forster. I didn't feel attached to the characters. I read his exchange of letters with another author in this regard, and although I understand Forsters motivation to not fully show us Philip from the beginning, it does create a disconnection between the reader and the character and by the time I got to know him I didn't care much for him. The descriptions of the settings,where Forster usually thrives, ⬇️

nanuska_153 were not as beautiful this time. I feel bad giving a So-So to Forster, because probably if it had been written to another author my expectations would have been lower and it would be a pick, but there, I'm feeling ruthless. 5d
