But Edinburgh is a mad god’s dream,
Fitful and dark,
Unseizable in Leith
And wildered by the Forth…

#OTD Muriel Stuart, #English #Poet and #Writer, died.

#MacDiarmid thought she was the best #Scottish #Renaissance #Poet (#Female).

In #Midlife, Muriel gave up #Poetry for #Garden #Writing.

In her #Book, #Fool's Garden (1936), she wrote,

"Even the #Tiniest garden... is #Ennobled by #Planting #Trees.

Otherwise, the #Walls #Lean in, & there is nothing to #Lift your garden above the #Eye... to #Hide the peering #Windows, #Lavatory & #Clothesline of the #House next door."
