Idle Moments - Aster Alderdice - Bog

In the sanctuary of one's private chambers, where the drapery falls in lush folds and the air is imbued with the scent of lavender and old parchment, one discovers the celestial experience of perusing Victorian romantic poetry. The moment one's fingers make contact with the timeworn pages of a leather-bound anthology, an ineffable thrill courses through the veins. The atmosphere transforms, transmuted by the palpable aura of bygone eras. With each rustle of the page, the veil between epochs grows thinner, allowing for an almost mystical communion with the sensibilities of the Victorian age.
