Just read a book titled The Butcher's Daughter, by Victoria Glendinning. Set in 16th century England.
A very fine book.
Lots of nasty things were going on in the 1500's in England. One of the characters, during some nastiness that was causing a great deal of uncertainty and unhappiness for a lot of people, said in a spirit of hopefulness: "There will be butterflies."
I love that expression. I love the hopefulness of it.
I am adopting it as my own.
