It is the birthday of the novelist who wrote, “All children, except one, grow up.” Scottish writer James Matthew or J. M. Barrie was born on this day in 1860. He is best known for his character Peter Pan, who was that child who didn’t grow up.
#BookSky #Writers #Writing #History #OTD
It is less well known that the character was based on Barrie’s older brother David, who died in an ice-skating accident the day before his 14th birthday. Barrie was six years old and keenly aware of his mother’s sorrow over David’s loss. And he began to imitate some of his brother’s mannerisms until the day Barrie was unsure if his mother was talking to him or his deceased brother. In time, Barrie’s mother told him that there was some comfort in knowing that David would never grow up and leave her, that he would remain a boy forever. The renowned Irish writer George Bernard Shaw described the play Peter Pan as “ostensibly a holiday entertainment for children but really a play for grown-up people.” It was an early recognition that Barrie’s writing about Peter Pan explored more complex issues than those usually associated with children’s literature.

for if you only knew
it's not just a song
but an additional connection
as i savour
those poetic lyrics
stirring my soul
making my heart dance
laying awake
adrift in evocations of us
& when sleep comes
as our song ends
there within my reveries
i'm wrapped
within the rhythm of you

It's author Anthony Trollope's birthday!
Let's all get sesquipedalian, insightful, and satirical.

“Masses of men will almost feel that a certain amount of injustice ought to be inflicted on their betters, so as to make things even, and will persuade themselves that a criminal should be declared to be innocent, because the crime committed has had a tendency to oppress the rich and pull down the mighty from their seats.” –Anthony Trollope, The Way We Live Now, 1875

WIP song ~

Dive dive
down down under
til there's
very little Sun there

deep deep
pressures growing
cold cold
still keep going

All around us
currents flowing
Wow, look
that fish is glowing

So many things
noone is knowing
Out in the Salish Sea

He was
A shady #customer
But I need
The dough

Plus, the dame
He had me follow
Ain’t no one
I know

But, she ain’t
No cheater
Just a wife
Who’s been brought low

I refund
Her creepy husband
Pack my bags
And go

But not alone—
She’s with me,
On the train
To Fresno
