Today I have definitely been the mad woman in the attic in more ways than one. A bird managed to find its way in there and was flitting about. It must have been terrified. A long pole, a large blanket, a large scrunched up piece of paper and some very scary moments and the bird is now safely outside and will not be getting back in. Poor thing.
This is me trying to write my next assignment based on the Romantic poets, nature and theories of the sublime. On top of that, I have another in a couple of weeks on Victorian writing. Trying to read while you have a bird flying about above you is not easy let me tell you. I find much of English literature to be contradictory. Romanticism for example is said to be linked with nature and childhood and that overwhelming sense of magnitude. What are we basing this on? A selection of poems from a group of poets handpicked by those in power. Has anyone thought to look elsewhere? I'm sure they have but I am unable to find much evidence of this. Oh well. I guess I will have to conform to the norm as I only have a few days to complete my assignment rather than a few months or years.
I came across an excellent FB site today. Knittaz with Attitude. I wish my knitting skills were up to scratch. I think this is awesome. Especially the knitted bus cover. I have neglected my crafty side of late and am looking forward to a catch up with my crafty pal Claireliz. The only time I ever complete any work is when I am visiting her. If you have a crafty bone in your body I would strongly recommend a visit to her blog. I have never met anyone with a passion for crafting like hers. She will try anything. I would love too but never feel I have the time although hopefully this will change in the future. There's something quite therapeutic about crafting.
Anyway, all of this is just an excuse not to continue reading about philosophy relating to nature and the sublime so I had better go and finish off. Farewell peeps.
