At the Back of the North Wind


That's how it felt today!
It made me think of George
MacDonald's children's book
where one of my favorite poems
is :Where did you come from ,
Baby Dear?

Just put this on a progress report
for my literature class. I love the
truth in CS Lewis' words:


"Literature adds to reality, it does not simply describe it.
It enriches the necessary competencies that daily life
requires and provides; and in this respect, it irrigates
the deserts that our lives have already become.


A manuscript of At the Back of the
Northwind:
