Nov 10– “The Deserted Village” by Oliver Goldsmith (1770)

 This guy just seems so happy about the poem.

Nov 10– “The Deserted Village” by Oliver Goldsmith (1770)

Summary: It's a poem about a creepy abandoned village.

Commentary: 

"The bashful virgin's sidelong looks of love,

The matron's glance that would those looks reprove;" is a fun couple of lines.

I don't think I've ever had anything so heavily illustrated. The ones in the edition I pulled from Gutenberg are great, nice and creepy. Really contributes to the Resident Evil/Silent Hill/PSX horror vibe of the poem.

It does make formatting a pain. I'll have to reread it again now that I fixed all the breaks and stuff, but it's late tonight.
