I love the lines you quoted about the flower born to blush unseen. Thank you, too, for the shout-out, bringing me a bit out of obscurity!

It was the most important thing in my life in my twenties, until I became a Christian. I gave it up when I had kids, but not that the kids are self-sufficient I am going back to reading it, and playing with it.

I thought I knew Grey's Elegy – not a bit of it – or rather, only a bit of it.
Amazing isn't it how often we quote half-remembered lines from, we know what where. Then suddenly up comes a post like this one and all becomes abundantly clear.
I too love blogging.
