‘Her tender touch was all but a dream;
Unfurl sweet rosebud, holding morning dew,
By night the rose is gilded by frost’s gleam
What dawn proposes, dusk demeans’

Done!
About this much I liked it, and it still is only 4⭐️ The heroine was annoying at times. Not an easy read, a psychoanalysis of love, lovers, falling in love and out of love, self, and the mechanisms of romantic movement.

If you take blurry pictures, or paint with messy brush strokes, you’re a Romantic.
“The notion of awe used to be attributed to god and religion, but during the Romantic Movement many realized they found the same feeling in nature, other people, and in their inner emotional lives.”
This is a reminder to seek awe in every imperfect thing, we’re all romantics.
(Photograph, 1867, taken by Julia Margaret Cameron, photographer)

Embroidered all with leaves of Myrtle;"
