28.5 Spenserian

Got sucked into the “Faerie Queen” today. It is really enjoyable reading and the added dimension of historical allegory, coupled with the sheer weight of romantic chivalric adventure, kept my interest for many an hour. The so called Spenserian verse of decasyllabic nine line stanzas has a lulling effect. There is no logical reason why my interest should be held for so long by a romantic, thousand page poem...hmm! Another countdown today, but one of hours rather than weeks...work!

Went out in the evening with Steve, here and there, until we decided to go for a steak. Stayed at Grandad’s. Looked back in the evening and said to myself that I had really made something of today.
