Can anyone help with the final word of this MS? It‘s an annotation on Amy Levy’s manuscript for ‘A London Plane- Tree’, on the dedication poem ‘To Clementina Black’. So far I’ve got ‘all in Ital. low case to suit ____?’

Chuffed to be in vol.2 of @plantperspectives.bsky.social. Thanks to all at the journal & @rbgkew.bsky.social for including my weird little piece about working-class C19th poet Eliza Cook, trees, illness& intertemporal weirdness. Read it here: www.whp-journals.co.uk/PP/issue/vie...

Look at this big handsome bastard. I nickname him ‘Creeper’. NB: this windowsill is much shadier than the picture makes it look. Also, am almost as excited about this plant as I would be about a new kitten.

I was recently diagnosed with MS; a relapse has kept me from working. It’s made me ponder my profession’s overemphasis on ‘productivity’, & the lack of (self) compassion that attends it. Managed to read this morning for the first time in weeks- fitting that the book is about ‘generous relenting’.
