A short story reviewed _ Of Apples And Trees

As soon as Libraries are opened I am going to pull that one out, Dane John. Meantime, I’ll have a look what the internet can offer us.
Mistress of menace The Guardian, looks interesting article, but do not want to influence me in too much, by the time I go on writing my contribution you ask for. She had, the author, from memory a strong French bias, _her name only ? _ the Guardian article reminds me of Le grand Meaulnes, by First World War disappeared writer in the Lorraine, a region, because of my own history, close to my heart and mind.
It is not only in an individual’s life that ‘things’ may appear to have a very real impact upon us, or in our lives. Because of things known, half-known, suspected … . In the life of King David, and Absalom, his son, ‘the woods that day killed more than Israel’s armies.’ (Rebellion, civil war and judg(e)ments for sins). 2 Samuel 14:1-15:1-16:1 17:1 18:1  (v.12) 19:1 (18 verse  8)
It is not just nature, man has always known and held for certain that there is a reality beyond the seen, heard, touched. Men have invented, developed terms like transcendental, primeval, primordial, are words that come to mind. That is after all why we write books, to explore, discover, as T.S. Eliot wrote (Little Gidding).
