Reading some of the changes between the 1818 and 1831 versions side by side on the same pages instead of separate books helped me see and understand the differences so much better. I love the penguin classics of the 1818 text but I think this one is my fav edition now!

Finished reading this on the train ride home and definitely teared up at the end. I don't have anything to say about it that hasn't already been said a million times by people much smarter than me, but what a marvelous and endlessly entertaining work of fiction!

April is the cruellest month, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
Dull roots with spring rain.
