For Oliver. ‘Eternally yours,’ posted 5th February 2019 – ‘just’ another Tuesday.

‘Light-years’ away – someone named ‘Oliver’ is just licking the back of a red-coloured stamp…

A couple of weeks ago – I bought something on Ebay again!!! It’s a postcard to add to my small collection of Brontëana…

‘Buy one get one free’! Postcard from Haworth – via Keighley and Ilkley – and Emily’s “Wuthering Heights”…

‘It goes without saying’, I was instantly drawn to the poetry and the B/W photograph on the front of the postcard – entitled ‘The Evening Sky, Haworth’ – whilst the back of the postcard remained a complete mystery; the listing just said “used”. 

Imagine my joy – when I first held the postcard and turned it over – because there on the back, penned in indelible ink – is a special message with a post-office date stamp for the 26th. April 1960 – a Tuesday. 

Despite having come through “rain & hail” – this postcard feels warm 59 years on…

In 1960, I was in the dark so to speak – yet magically through Oliver’s eyes, ears, skin, touch—— his very being – and therein ‘Mr & Mrs Taylor’ too – a ‘Window of Light’ has been opened onto Emily’s World again…

There are things in the ‘Here and Now’ that you just know – and feel – are ‘sent’.

‘ETERNAMENTE’.  Haworth Parsonage – as seen through my viewfinder – Saturday, 20th May 2017.

PS …and thank you too, to someone named ‘Avril’ – who forwarded the postcard ‘here’…

More ‘Wuthering Heights’ vibes through the medium that IS Kate Bush – from 1978…
