Gerard de Nerval

by LovelyMay — Gerard de Nerval represents a rare literary figure whose allure lies in the dreamlike quality of his prose and the deep melancholy that permeates his work. In this reflection, shared with Miss Girton of Cambridge, the writer attempts to explain why Nerval remains somewhat inaccessible to many readers, particularly those unacquainted with his abstract take on emotion. It is not a matter of intelligence or gender but rather a question of sensibility—Nerval speaks most clearly to those who feel more than…

The Post

by LovelyMay — The Post begins on a frostbitten evening as two unlikely companions prepare to depart through a sleeping town—one bound by duty, the other by schedule. The postman, wrapped in layers of coarse uniform and holding a dented sword more symbolic than practical, takes on the responsibility of delivering not just mail but a token of human warmth: a parcel and the greetings of someone too distant to speak in person. He is joined by a university student, not through friendship but by arrangement, setting the…

Chapter 6 — The beasts of Tarzan

by LovelyMay — Chapter 6 – The Beasts of Tarzan opens with an unusual sight: a war-canoe gliding over ocean waves, manned not by sailors but by apes, a panther, a native, and Tarzan himself. Their destination lies beyond the reef, but the sea’s fury soon tests their courage. The rolling waters terrify the apes, who react with panic, rocking the canoe and putting them all at risk.

by LovelyMay — Chapter XIII – For Greater Things presents a quiet yet powerful portrait of Saint Stanislaus Kostka during his time as a novice at the Professed House in Rome. At just seventeen, he embraced a routine that many might see as mundane—carrying wood, washing dishes, serving food—yet he approached each task as though it were a divine appointment.

Chapter 3: Jude and the Past

Yet every time he began, the words would catch in his throat, swallowed by fear.

It was easier to leave the name unspoken, to let it remain a ghost haunting his thoughts rather than risk giving it…
