Notes and topics

"Sunday and Monday morning". Dated by BR.

OM recalls her childhood—days at Welbeck—religious at age 12. When her mother died she lived at Portland: "a horrid life". She loved getting away to read and think in the woods. On Mother Julian she says "A very wonderful wise old lady to whom I am devoted." OM was sent to St. Andrews, not wanting to attend Oxford or Cambridge. She attended lectures on logic, "of all things".

"Love itself is the joy and all that it means communion of soul and uplifting and communion in thought and beauty but somehow to me all these have when they are profoundly beautiful some great strange tragic note."
