Irises, William MorrisĀ
“So what’s going on with A Lamentation of Swans?”
“You really want to know or are you just poking me in the ribs to see me wince?”
“It’s a wonderful story, a good book. I’m curious why you’ve abandoned it.”
“I have not abandoned it.” Said with great indignation. “Just giving it a rest.”
“Weeds are growing around it.”
“It’ll keep.”
