Giovanni Pascoli, Il gelsomino notturno (Night-blooming Jasmine) #poetry
And in the hour when blooms unfurl,
thoughts of my loved ones come to me.
The moths of evening swirl around the snowball tree.
Nothing by now shouts or sings; one house only whispers then hushes.
Nestlings sleep beneath wings, like eyes beneath their lashes.
From open calyces there flows a ripe strawberry scent, in waves.
A lamp in the house glows. Grasses are born on graves.
A late bee sighs, back from its tours and no cell vacant anymore.
The Hen and her cheeping stars...

#ReadingSuggestion 2000 years later: “The strange glyphs appearing on gravestones from the early 21st century onward remain a mystery. These astoundingly complex patterns (no two exactly the same) have been found on many other 21st century artifacts, and are believed to have religious significance. Recovered images suggest they were probably sacred to the ancient North American god, Apple, and were meant to ensure that the departed would continue to be financially successful in the afterlife.” Reading Suggestion: Motel of the Mysteries, a graphic...

Robert Frost #poetry Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim Because it was grassy and wanted wear, Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way I doubted if I should...

Elise de Sallier is the author of Duty and Desire
MyReadingLounge: Since the story is historical, how have you done your research? Do you have suggestions for fellow writers who write historical fiction?
Elise de Sallier: I wanted to study history during my final two years at high school, but it was on the same timeline as art which was my passion. I later quenched two thirsts, one for fascinating historical details and the other for stories with a guaranteed happy ending, by reading large quantities of historical romances. My first...
