Continued From The Previous Day’s Post… We have now arrived at March 24, 1812. It was a day of curious experiences for Stephen: a windy, noisy day, which filled the house and the gardens with a restless impression. As Stephen stood by the fence of the grounds, and looked out into the park, he felt…

Montague Rhodes James, 1904 (Ghost Stories of an Antiquary) It was, as far as I can ascertain, in September of the year 1811 that a postchaise drew up before the door of Aswarby Hall, in the heart of Lincolnshire. The little boy who was the only passenger in the chaise, and who jumped out as soon…

Edgar Allan Poe, 1842 The “Red Death” had long devastated the country. No pestilence had been ever so fatal, or so hideous. Blood was its Avator and its seal — the redness and the horror of blood.

I can understand vaccine hesitancy – I was a bit hesitant myself when I first heard about these Covid vaccines. However, when a local church offered free vaccines to those without good or any health insurance, I signed up immediately because I have an underlying condition – a very bad thyroid issue – and I…

Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. Berthold Auerbach I think music in itself is healing. It’s an explosive expression of humanity. It’s something we are all touched by.
