Before it had all seemed so simple: things cast shadows. But now it turned out that shadows cast things…

postcard 1919

Carissima –

I re-visited Étaples OPP yesterday & posted a ppc to you from the old camp – probably in a letter box from which collections are no longer made! For the Peace has quite spoiled Étaples. There are still a good number of men about but desolation already sits on the place – or, rather, it is arriving in instalments. The first letters of Ichabod are written there and sooner or later the writing will be complete.

Monday

I hope you had a very happy weekend at home. Today we have been to this … beautiful ruin. This photo does not convey anything of the wonderful beauty of the place. I hope you will see it + love it some day in the time to come. On the border of this garden is a wonderful clipped hedge with most wonderful animals clipped in box. A dog. A squirrel. An owl. A fantail pigeon, a whippet, a rabbit, a pheasant, a barn door + owl.
