#February 10, 1882
#OTD Winifred Mary Letts, English #Writer, is born.
She wrote,
"That God once loved a #Garden, we learn in Holy writ.
& seeing gardens in the #Spring, I well can credit it."
Her #WWI #Poem, "Spring the Cheat," is about WWI. In it, she compares rebirth in spring with the never-ending season of wartime loss.
"O exquisite spring, all this - & yet - & yet -
Kinder to me, the bleak face of #December
Who gives no cheating #Hopes, but says "#Remember.'"
