Jo’s Reviews > A Whiff of Wilde, a Pinch of Poe, and a Frisson of Frost: A Dab of Dickens, Vol. 3; Selections from 'A Dab of Dickens & a Touch of Twain, Literary ... Old England to Frost's New England' > Status Update

Considerate neglect. The Black Cottage- so good

So turns out I love Frost poetry. Reminds me of Wordsworth or at least I have a similar reaction to their poetry. But oh my, Frost was a piece of work. His relationship with JFK- intriguing. Really enjoying this book.

V and I were fascinated by the Consumption handkerchiefs. Poor Poe- what a crap life.

I absolutely love this series.. audible.. and even my kids do not mind listening. V and I loved listening to The Selfish Giant ( Wilde) and i really liked De Profundis- tragically “good”, tragically God.

Now Poe- wow!!

It is tragic how few people possess their souls before they die.

The ego is actually the enemy of their own soul..

Suffering is hidden behind everything.

Reading Wilde’s tragic background certainly casts Dorian Gray in a new light.
