I have been reading a book by Jo...Very interesting. I have been reading a book by Josceline Dimbleby about her great grandmother who had an emotional if probably not physical affair with Burne Jones during the last 5 years of his life. The letters are so intense and passionate - it seems that B-J had a tendency to fall in love throughout his life. It's a pity he could not have focused his emotions more on his wife, who seems to have been a good sort, and as you say, was isolated and lonely. B-J always strikes me in photographs as looking unhappy, even tortured. What was he hoping for? Did 'hope' bring him any comfort?WoofWoofhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14142792485921452481noreply@blogger.com
