In hindsight, it would have been better to dip in and out of it rather than to read it all in one go, as the poems did start to feel a bit similar after a while. Such beautiful writing but I found it felt very similar after a bit. I wouldn't call E. Nesbit a Great Poet I guess I would call her an uneven poet. Some of the poems in this collection speak to the soul, some are good in spots, and some are competent, barely.

She was also a political activist and co-founded the Fabian Society, a socialist organisation later connected to the Labour Party. Edith Nesbit was born in Kennington, Surrey, the daughter of agricultural chemist and schoolmaster John Collis Nesbit. The death of her father when she was four and the continuing ill health of her sister meant that Nesbit had a transitory childhood, her family moving across Europe in search of healthy climates only to return to England for financial reasons. Nesbit therefore spent her childhood attaining an education from whatever sources were available—local grammars, the occasional boarding school but mainly through reading. At 17 her family finally settled in London and aged 19, Nesbit met Hubert Bland, a political activist and writer.

The pilot has suffered a fractured skull and thigh bone. Pascoe is sixty. It was Pascoe who taught Ronnie to fly. Taking a pill to The Rainbow and the Rose the needed sleep, he dreams of Pascoe. It is never confusing when Shute slips from one story to the other. Pascoe The Rainbow and the Rose been both a military and commercial pilot, there is much here about the art of flying. The jargon employed is full of The Rainbow and the Rose terms. Pascoe teaches a woman to fly.
