POEMS BY A LADY
by Helen Craik
Ed. by Rachel Mann & Patrick Scott
The #poetry of Helen Craik (1751–1825), #Gothic novelist & friend of #RobertBurns, was long thought lost. The rediscovery of her 1790 #manuscript “Poems by a Lady”, transcribed here for the first time, invites a fresh evaluation of her life & work, & adds to the critical reassessment of poetry by #Scottish women in the #Romantic era
Love is precious - you can never have enough love - be it friendship, the romantic love of two lovers, the love of a family or the love of nature or animals.
From my collection of heart paintings - Little pink heart acrylic painting - May this little symbol of love and friendship also bring happiness and joy into your home!
May the artwork take you to a place of magical romance and deep, calming joy, bringing a smile of gladness to your face and heart every time you see it.
