Update

Hello people who read my blog! Most days it continues to surprise me that you exist, so thank you for reading.
You may have noticed a recent spurt of poetry has appeared. I've been enjoying experimenting with poems, and stuck them up here because I decided it's better to put them out there than to hug them to myself secretly and hope they're mildly decent. Plus, they don't take half as much effort as a coherent full-length post.

At the moment, I'm in the middle of writing a blog post which I'm very excited about. I said writing, I meant planning. Haven't quite gotten to the writing bit yet. 

However, I probably won't finish it for another few days due to my life being the manic whirl of college, sleep, homework, tea, bible, French films, nights out and book reading that it is.

In the meantime, here is a brilliant quote from Galileo:
 "The Bible tells us how to go to Heaven, not how the heavens go."

Bis Bald!

Hope

Squatting in a squalid place,
He spends his days in dreaming,
Of dawns and dusks all spent aloft
-through streaky sunsets soaring.

Which Tyrant beat this fragile form?
Who clipped such splendid wings?
He may not fly, yet he defies,
As night by night he sings.
