Anne of Avonlea, Happy Spring 2018, L.M. Montgomery, Literary Quotes

20E00DAF-B65F-4D16-9902-43355BAC595A

It’s officially Spring, yet our 4th Nor’Easter of March is forecast to hit New England tomorrow, bringing almost another foot of snow. But that’s okay, because Mr. Winter, your days are numbered!

So, as the snowflakes are flying and the winds are howling, I’m going to be thinking of sunshine and flowers.

3879246C-9E25-47D8-9BB4-025FAAEBA6F4

That is one good thing about this world…there are always sure to be more springs.

~ L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Avonlea ~

Happy Halloween, Literary Quotes, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, Washington Irving

giphy

On mounting a rising ground, which brought the figure of his fellow traveller in relief against the sky, gigantic in height, and muffled in a cloak, Ichabod was horror-struck on perceiving that he was headless!–but his horror was still more increased on observing that the head, which should have rested on his shoulders, was carried before him on the pommel of his saddle!

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, by Washington Irving

 

 

Happy Spring Everyone!

Literary Quotes, RIP William Peter Blatty, The Exorcist

"The Exorcist Extended Director's Cut" Special Screening Pre-Reception

From the cab stepped a tall old man. Black raincoat and hat and battered valise. He paid the driver, then turned and stood motionless, staring at the house. The cab pulled away and rounded the cornet of Thirty-sixty Street. Kinderman quickly pulled out to follow. As he turned the corner, he noticed that the tall old man hadn’t moved but was standing under the streetlight glow, in mist, like a melancholy traveler frozen in time.

William Peter Blatty, The Exorcist

Birthdays, Literary Quotes, Stephen King

king-books

Amazingly Stephen King is 69 years young today! There are many writers who have earned the title “Master of Horror”, but since his first book, Carrie, which he wrote when he was twenty-six, and after more than forty years of writing there is only one “King”! There are so many wonderful quotes to choose from to illustrate what an amazing writer he is, but this one from Salem’s Lot particularly appeals to me.

But when fall comes, kicking summer out on its treacherous ass as it always does one day sometime after the midpoint of September, it stays awhile like an old friend that you have missed. It settles in the way an old friend will settle into your favorite chair and take out his pipe and light it and then fill the afternoon with stories of places he has been and things he has done since he last saw you.

Happy Birthday L.M. Montgomery (November 30, 1834 -April 24, 1942)

Kindred spirits are not so scarce as I used to think. It’s splendid to find out  there are so many of them in the world.

Edgar Allen Poe, Literary Quotes, The Raven

ravenflight

“Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,

Doubting dreaming dreams no mortals ever dared to dream before; 

But the silence was unbroken, and the stillness gave no token,

And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, ‘Lenore?’

This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, ‘Lenore?’ –

Merely this and nothing more.”

~ Edgar Allen Poe, The Raven ~
