oh what if what if what if I use this seclusion time to leash-train Theo and promenade her down the echoing empty streets under the magnolia trees! what if I lead her under harness through the orangerie and down around the sunken pool and the rosebushes of Dumbarton Oaks, when the bees buzz free and the grass grows unbeaten-back by groundskeepers and the herb-garden full of rare lace-mints! She has the most delicate ankles, just a bit obscured now that her fur has grown shaggier with her good rude health and healthy rudeness. The fur on the soles of her bony back feet, like a dense black carpet!—What a dream to have feet like that, to have shell-pink ears with fine black outlines around them, to have the single eye.
Brilliant. I know of you from Toast days (librarian, etc), and while I do not participate in twitter because I am not suited to it, I do read a small list of twitter feeds to stay in the bookish know, including yours. I should have subscribed long ago! Also, I must admit, I did know about Bjork in The Juniper Tree.
