“Ever your desire is to appear lordly and generous as a king of old, gracious, gentle. That may well befit one of high race, if he sits in power and peace. But in desperate hours gentleness may be repaid with death.”
“So be it,” said Faramir.

Top five Elizabeth Goudge books and not necessarily your favorite five, but five poems that are particularly significant to you?
(also hello dear heart love you love you!! 💖💖💖💖💖)
Ahhh wow LOVE this.
1. The Scent of Water. It’s just such a classic and it’s so full of depth but also there’s a light touch. Mary is older and you can FEEL the peace.
2. The Dean’s Watch. The way that grace and forgiveness and coming home play out in this makes me weep.
3. Green Dolphin Street. I feel like I need to reread because tbh I think my feelings have changed but it was just sooooo formative for me in shaping some of how I felt about romantic love. And the way love is a CHOICE but also something beyond our choosing made me cry.
4. The Bird in the Tree. I love Pilgrim’s Inn. But this one is Nadine’s struggle to give David up!!!! And again, it’s just the first book that introduced me to the concept of what happens when morality and romance are at odds and I think it does it so beautifully.
5. The Rosemary Tree. It just has all the Goudge tropes but it’s also very modern in that the people feel near and the struggles fresh every time I read it. (I think her modern books are the best.)
Also poems—yay!!!
Of course Time does not bring relief by Edna. I bully my students into memorizing it every year. Stenciled Memories by Lorna dee Cervantes and The Sky now Black with Birds (Jamaal May) are both poems I read in college that haunt me to my core. No worst there is none by Gerard Manley Hopkins has helped me through some tough times. And lately I really love John Donne’s Riding Westward Good Friday poem.

my aesthetic is women in movies wearing clothes that are appropriate and realistic for whatever situation in which they find themselves.

I mean yeah it’s just like. not only is Darcy not the Broody Mysterious Misunderstood-but-also-still-a-jerk Love Interest, he’s also not the Farmer’s Market Hot boyfriend, you know? He’s not just wearing soft sweaters and having kind eyes while loving his mom and also gardening. The letter alone reveals a man with a completely real and completely masculine personality who has, among many things, a sharp wit, a full command of language, a keen sense of justice, and the unflinching ability to be his own lawyer.
#and it’s a lot for Lizzy to take!!!!!#she’s like ‘okay I get it I get it’ (holding back tears)#and that’s why when he sees her he has to be so nice to her!#I think about Darcy at the beginning of the letter being like ‘I know this will cause pain’#AND IT DOES#I’m also thinking about how the scene when Darcy comes across Lizzy reading Jane’s letter#is about him just having to sit with her pain while not being able to do anything about it#in the moment. but he sees it! in a way he can’t before (I mean why would he the circumstances are different before)#(and the conditions not present for her to be able to reveal her pain)#and yet also he’s seeing all of it in a way that only love lets you do#and also in a way that they could only experience after they go through the journey of Lizzy accusing Darcy and Darcy sitting down#to be his own lawyer#like some of the fundamental misunderstandings have been cleared#and now he has to just sit there and watch her cry and also see how much she already knows and is so pained by her family’s situation#because she HAS TO LIVE WITH IT EVERY DAY#which is part of why it was so OUT OF POCKET OF HIM TO BE GOING OFF ABOUT IT#even though from his perspective everything he said made sense and also was spoken not without love or generosity#but yeah he kind of has to pay for it again. by witnessing her vulnerability to the circumstances of her own life#and Austen doesn’t even take too much pleasure in it by making him overly suffer#from a narrative view#but he does suffer and it’s satisfying#anyway not a SHRED of this captured by the ‘05—————————#sorry I will rein myself in#but yeah this story man#it’s everything#pride snd prejudice#jane austen

Pride and Prejudice is, among many things, about the fundamental masculine/feminine clash of communication styles and perspectives and worldviews (and the coming together of those things/healing of those differences) and how those things inform and shape the relationship between the two and it’s not the only book to tackle that subject matter but it is one of the only ones I can think of where both sides are so accurately and fairly represented.
#she sees it from above!!! Darcy is full man and Lizzy is full woman#and their clash is theeee clash of all time#this observation brought to you by me reading extremely old school pieces of literary criticism#by men who are forced by the novel’s power to see the female point of view and are clearly seeing it for the first time in their lives#like I’m talking old old school literary critics#and it’s like. yeah!!!!!#there’s something in the very bones of the plot that draw you in almost inevitably#to having to understand both sides. and it’s because she (Austen) isn’t taking sides#she loves them both and almost more importantly understands them both#and understands how they behave and why#and that’s what drives the story forward#and it truly is rare to me. like I think there are other stories that tackle this same matter and that do so well!#but it’s almost always just from the one side#and that can be enough! if done well! that’s how I feel about Goudge and even though it’s so different also Wodehouse#like it’s so delightful because Goudge is really feminine in her approach and Wodehouse can capture what it’s like from the guy’s side#in a lovely way. but it’s so rare when it’s both. and when it’s both captured in such utter completeness of vision#like oh SHIT there they ARE#the human experience captured so fully and captured (sorry for beating a dead horse here) from BOTH sides#pride and prejudice#jane austen#anyway. anyway!

I Forgot That You Existed? A BOP
Cruel Summer? A Monumental Smash
Lover? SUCH AN IMPORTANT SONG
The Man? She made several points!
The Archer? Poignant and Timeless!
I Think He Knows? Sweet and sour perfection!!
I could go on.
#saw someone being a hater of Lover the other day#there’s like 2 songs that don’t need to be on the record as a whole#and I can’t even always decide what they are#cause they’re all part of the Taylor lore!#taylor swift#lover

literally always thinking about the wife from The Professor’s House.
#that line about her instincts almost never being wrong but also being kind of unexamined#according to her husband#fascinating to me#the professor’s house my favorite Cather to me#I think because he was kind of a villain???? she always writes her heroes off to the side and I can’t see them#the professor’s house#also I always think of Maria saying that he ran a cult of personality classroom. which is what makes him a villain#idk I want to reread#I guess I’m just always thinking about the whole novel on a low-grade level#willa cather
