OLD LOVES AND WARS

In spare moments I am reading the Faerie Queen for the first time. At the slow but steady rate of one canto per month I find myself apparently occupied for the next six years, and happily so. So much have I enjoyed reading, taking notes, and looking at illustrations, that I have started collecting and archiving my efforts here. May it be a help to you on your way to Goodness, Beauty and Truth.
