Adoration

I have a hundred bulbs to plant, and soft fine days to do it, just too perfect. — I sit up here & read Persuasion — Emma — I never can stop when I start — Really she’s the only power to get me whole through some days I sometimes feel... It’s salvation to adore how she does it. It’s adoration, that’s the best.
