I plead as my excuse [In reply to] Can't Post

that the original wasn't rolled as tightly as this one, so it lay fairly flat right out of the tube. It was just the edges that needed flattening.

This one kept shutting up like a stubborn window shade!

And I was terrified of bending or damaging it.

Oh Moon, lovely moon, with thy beautiful face,
Careering throughout the boundaries of space,
Whenever I see thee, I think in my mind,
Shall I ever, oh ever, behold thy behind.


--Edmund Gosse's house maid
