Tiny

Back to the satisfaction of small things. I always carry this around. Although it is a complete text of the play it is really very small to read so it’s more of a talisman than anything else. But I do find it reassuring and that’s partly because it is ‘Pericles’. When I was young I tended to dismiss the late plays struggling with the sheer improbability of the plots. Now I find them of immense consolation with their miracles of restoration and redemption. Two productions of ‘Pericles’ have marked me greatly so this is a happy reminder.
