St. John's Wood

"I cannot think," he said, "why people should think the names of places in the country more poetical than those in London. Shallow romanticists go away in trains and stop in places called Hugmy-in-the-Hole, or Bumps-on-the-Puddle. And all the time they could, if they liked, go and live at a place with the dim, divine name of St. John’s Wood. I have never been to St. John’s Wood. I dare not. I should be afraid of the innumerable night of fir trees, afraid to come upon a blood-red cup and the beating of the wings of the Eagle. But all these things can be imagined by remaining reverently in the Harrow train."

G.K. Chesterton was born on this day in 1874, and I love that quote so much that I'm having an Etsy sale in honor of it. Today only, enter the coupon code STJOHNSWOOD at checkout to get 15% off any item in the store. Also, signed book auctions ending this evening on eBay.
