LETTER–Epistle to Mr. Alexander Pope

by LovelyMay — Letter Epistle to Mr. Alexander Pope sets the tone for a reflection that is at once admiring and interrogative, as the writer examines the complicated aura that surrounds Pope’s poetic legacy. Rather than offer blind praise, the letter moves carefully between Pope’s enduring influence and the thorny criticisms that have shadowed his name. Those who study Pope often do so with divided minds—some celebrate his wit and linguistic precision, while others accuse him of vanity and self-interest. His garden…

The Maternal Feminine [1919]

by LovelyMay — The Maternal Feminine begins in a room where the atmosphere is tense but quiet, filled with a stillness that holds space for both anticipation and mourning. Sophy, seated calmly with her hands gently resting in her lap, looked every bit the composed elder, yet behind her quiet exterior was an awareness of the weight about to descend. When Marian King entered, she brought not just information but presence—firm and capable, with a kind of warmth that disarmed without softening the truth. Her youth…
