Scribblings on the Margins

Short notes and quotes that otherwise might have fallen by the wayside. Your tumbling guide is Andreas Jungherr.
And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,
Dropping from the veils of the mourning to where the cricket sings;
There midnight’s all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet’s wings.
William Butler Yeats: “The Lake Isle of Innisfree” (1892).
