All my life is open to you, cousin. I go hence
To London, to that gathering-place of souls,
To live mine straight out, vocally, in books;
Harmoniously for others, if indeed
A woman's soul, like man's, be wide enough
To carry the whole octave (that's to be prove);
Or, if I fail, still purely for myself.
- Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Aurora Leigh
Wonderful! I can't wait to read the other 100. Thank you Gabby for getting this started and organizing the itinerary. Blessings, Rev's Parents.
