I'd like to make a very tardy comment about your post "Doing as you would be done by". Reading it, I desperately wanted to tell you that there are many women out there, reading your blog, silently empathising with you.I wish you strength and perseverence - both qualities which you already have plenty of! Death does indeed sneak up and turn all our certainties on their heads - but we can and must weather it. It is a privilege to be able to read your brave and human account of how you are weathering it and more.<br /><br />JanJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00958905260244374583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3410197881114403536.post-35880638063132154632011-06-26T21:55:42.973+12:002011-06-26T21:55:42.973+12:00Thank you both.

How...Anne: that sonnet always wrenches at my heart. How merciless Shakespeare was in demanding one's emotional response.<br /><br />I recently tracked down the podcast of the interview you did with Kathryn Ryan; your strength and dignity brought me to tears.<br /><br />On a different note, I've just been working on tomorrow's lesson for my Year 10 class. We're reading 'Milking before Dawn'. I went back and read Harvey's Stoatspring post about it, and what he wrote in 'These I have Loved'. I feel well prepared! This is a rural area, they're not very academic sorts; I'm looking forward to the lesson. I'm sure he would have agreed with me that kids are not taught enough poetry in schools now. I very rarely have a junior class, and often find that my seniors are sadly lacking in poetry experience, so to speak.<br /><br />Have a pleasant Sunday.Alexiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15405656530899442354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3410197881114403536.post-4865119316399114382011-06-25T22:16:24.457+12:002011-06-25T22:16:24.457+12:00Arohanui e hoa.Arohanui e hoa.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08977150346842277994noreply@blogger.com
