Somehow it made me think of the walk which Coleridge didn't have with his friends (Charles lamb included), owing to an accident, which kept him in "The lime tree bower my prison". Your walk like his non-walk proved fruitful indeed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37070024.post-89165791571095520282007-11-25T17:11:00.000+01:002007-11-25T17:11:00.000+01:00"orgulous" - what an absolutely gorgeous word!"orgulous" - what an absolutely gorgeous word!Avushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16512540148378201058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37070024.post-24958171565004271042007-11-25T12:26:00.000+01:002007-11-25T12:26:00.000+01:00Many thanks for kind comments, both here and there...Many thanks for kind comments, both here and there.Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09764296105901909328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37070024.post-7088590411936243992007-11-25T00:54:00.000+01:002007-11-25T00:54:00.000+01:00Congratulations on the qarrtsiluni contribution, L...Congratulations on the qarrtsiluni contribution, Lucy. From humble beginnings it's grown into a very fine e-zine indeed, competing very favourably with the more established online arts mags.

I was quite moved by what you had seen and how you expressed it, too - nature has a way of astounding us, doesn't it? It's a beautiful submission and I'm glad I got to spend some extra time with it.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15829062955658284450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37070024.post-23419230775076469532007-11-24T19:20:00.000+01:002007-11-24T19:20:00.000+01:00Congratulations on your wonderful poem and photos ...Congratulations on your wonderful poem and photos making it to Q - though I'm not surprised at all. I find your way with words and vocabulary a delight - 'orgulous as a peacock' tickled me to no end for example and I learned a new word again! Interesting to read about the editorial process, as Dave already noted.

I must say, we've been very lucky so far in our guest editors: they've not only all worked hard, but so far they've all shared our basic philosophy about how to interact with authors - which is still possible to put into effect because of the relatively low volume of submissions, of course. But it's still a lot of work to ask anyone to do for free. And I appreciate the forebearance of our contributors, many of whom have persisted in submitting work even after earlier pieces got returned. As for writing poetry, anyone can learn how - I've always felt that. Sometimes the least dreamy people make the best poets, because their language is precise and they are not sentimental in clinging to words or phrases that must be taken out.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, thanks again for continuing to support the project. I'm really glad it's been so worthwhile for you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37070024.post-75752508801576415842007-11-24T17:14:00.000+01:002007-11-24T17:14:00.000+01:00Yay!
