I should like my wit to be lambent. Am down with Love, Etc. and The Hours. Picked out 10 Larkin poems, now I'm re-reading the Hardy anthology for poems to pair them with, lest my choices tomorrow seem too arbitrary to the examiner. Must figure out a way to indicate unobtrusively that although Hardy was set as an open text for English Paper 5, I didn't do said paper, let alone said text, at 'A' Level. Not sure if I'm going to make it through the Mansfield short stories, even if I'm only picking out the three that feature Stanley Burnell and family. One of his daughters is named Kezia, which I discovered yesterday, quite by accident, is an alternative spelling for Keziah, the name of Job's second daughter born to him after his ordeals. The name is apparently derived from Hebrew "cassia", the spice tree. Have decided that my aim to pass NAPFA on Wednesday is self-deluding, and I trust that God has a purpose/lesson for me in this. (The most obvious one seems to be not to procrastinate so much in future. Okay, that means I should write that PSC essay as soon as possible...)
