The Pipe

by LovelyMay — The Pipe opens with Meliton Shishkin stepping out of the woods, damp from the morning mist and weighed down by weariness, his loyal dog Damka trailing behind. The sky hangs low and grey, painting the landscape in dull tones that echo the heaviness in Meliton’s thoughts. As he walks, the faint sound of a pipe reaches his ears—a mournful, hollow melody played by an old shepherd watching over his flock. The shepherd’s music seems to echo more than just solitude; it carries a quiet lament for a world…

It’s an instinct rooted in comparison, often sparked by small disappointments in our own lives. Each missed opportunity makes another’s win seem bigger. Every struggle exaggerates the ease we think others enjoy. This…

The Old, Old Story

by LovelyMay — "The Old, Old Story" begins with the quiet frustration of chasing something just out of reach. The speaker recalls setting out with hope, only to hear the same phrase again and again—“You should have been here yesterday.” It becomes a refrain that shadows more than fishing trips; it echoes a wider truth about missed timing. Success always seems just one day behind, and that memory of better chances becomes both a comfort and a taunt. Yet the speaker doesn’t complain bitterly. Instead, he waits with…

Whenever he arrived home after a walk in the rain, she would always ask the same thing—whether his feet were wet.

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…

The Master of Hounds

by LovelyMay — In this chapter titled The Master of Hounds, the narrative explores not just a figurehead in the hunt, but a symbol of enduring tradition and social stewardship. The keyword appears early to signal the central theme—how leadership within the hunting world has evolved and what traits define the modern custodian of this ancient rural institution. Rather than focusing on a caricature like Jorrocks, who filled the role from necessity rather than prestige, the chapter draws attention to the authentic master…
