bluecastleReading one of my Christmas books, Bill Bryson's "At Home: A Short History of Private Life" and I just encountered this bit:
"The Reverend Robert Stephen Hawker of Cornwall wrote poetry of distinction and was much admired by Longfellow and Tennyson, though he slightly alarmed his parishioners by wearing a pink fez and passing much of his life under the powerfully serene influence of opium."
I want that in a story with either Eleven or Jack. LOL
Also in that same paragraph is the interesting fact that Sabine Baring-Gould who wrote "Onward Christian Soldiers" also wrote the first novel to feature a werewolf. Right on!
And now back to my book... :)
