Chapter 24 - In the Bleak Midwinter

Another quick post due to PhD work.

Today is the 185th anniversay of the birth of Christina Rossetti, one of the best of all Victorian poets.

As many of you will know her posthumously published poem In the Bleak Midwinter has become a popular Christmas carol after being set to music by the English composer Gustav Holst.  To celebrate both Rossetti's birth and the festive season here is Canadian singer/songwriter Sarah McLachlan performing her version of the carol (found on her 2006 festive album Wintersong).

  1. Did you know there's a 12 word sentence you can speak to your partner... that will trigger deep feelings of love and impulsive attraction for you buried inside his chest?

    That's because deep inside these 12 words is a "secret signal" that triggers a man's impulse to love, admire and care for you with his entire heart...

    12 Words Who Trigger A Man's Desire Instinct

    This impulse is so built-in to a man's mind that it will make him try harder than before to build your relationship stronger.

    Matter-of-fact, triggering this all-powerful impulse is so important to having the best possible relationship with your man that the instance you send your man a "Secret Signal"...

    ...You'll instantly find him open his heart and mind for you in a way he haven't expressed before and he'll distinguish you as the only woman in the world who has ever truly tempted him.
