THE WOMAN IN THE WOODS





"And I will restore you to the years that the locust hath eaten..."
                                                                                  Joel 2:25



The only ghost, I believe, who creep into this world, are dead young
mothers, returned to see how their children fare.
                                                                                  J.M. Barrie - The Little White Bird



Thomas: Who shall have it?
Tempter: He who will come.
Thomas: What shall be the month?
Tempter: The last from the first.
Thomas:  What shall we give for it?
Tempter:  Pretence of priestly power.
Thomas:  Why should we give it?
Tempter:  For the power and the glory.
                                                                              T.S. Eliot- Murder In the Cathedral




We all know that books burn - yet we have the greater knowledge that
books cannot be killed by fire.... 
People die, but books never die...
in this war, we know, books are weapons.
                                                                              Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882-1945)
