Ugh, that was tedious reading. The calligraphy was hard for me to read so I kept a magnifying glass handy but whenever possible I read the poems online.
This book is beautiful with all the artwork. It is amazing to me to think of all the pages being painstakingly painted and lettered by hand. The poems are just too sad for me and even though I wished I could love it, and I tried, but found the reading to me a chore. I'll pass this beautiful book on to someone who might love it more.
