Hi Gráinne, thank you again for backing the Maud Gonne Society and the statue project — and all for your kindness and support during my bereavement leave and beyond. I've just done an update on Kickstarter, so hopefully you received that. I will be using Substack to do a separate Maud Gonne Society newsletter and now in the process of setting that up. Hopefully only slow, steady progress from here and no more plans that don’t land...(though I'm afraid to say it!)
The pull between Millevoye’s intensity and Aunt Mary’s pragmatism is so well drawn here.
And that line about love being a key -- brutal, but impossible to argue with.
I love how Aunt Mary is an absolute scene-stealer!
"A nation must pour itself into a man of genius." -Lucien Millevoye
Yet Aunt Mary's specialty is launching professional beauties.
What about a woman of sapience?
Is it stupid to follow your heart, to allow your impulses?
Maud Gonne pours her measure of the proposed deal instead into her aunt's glass.
What a delicious cliffhanger, aroma of honey cognac on the nose.
It’s glorious looking forward to the bound copy landing in mg letterbox
