At its heart lie feelings of tenderness. A writer can only be a fool according to the exigencies of the epoch they're bequeathed, but only a child can write poetry. Everywhere the work of mourning has turned to so much schadenfreude: what good's Literature than can bring only flowers to its own funeral? Do not draw comfort from watching the little children play  join their wild dance! \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46861506740382,"sku":"ADS-9781922571694","price":24.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781922571694.jpg?v=1779253207","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781922571694","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
