Kate Greenaway - The Grace and Tenderness of the Childhood Illustration

KG was above all illustrator of children. A puppy or a kitten can find a place in her illustration as well, but kids were the main stars.

Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous observation and question.

Addressing His mother as "woman" always causes me to consider non-respectful and respectful forms of calling someone close and not close.

Is "woman" invoked a bit impatiently because "my time is not yet come [so why interrogate me so]" or is it not at all problematic?

Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous observation and question.

English Wiktionary gives as the name etymology Dorney, from Irish Ó Doirinne (“descendant of Doireann”), with the latter generated from dodaire (“sullen, sulky”).

Online sources give nothing else. Might Doireann be the name of someone in ancient Irish culture?

As Winter Comes

Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous observation and question.

Kew Gardens' afternoon tea and coffee breaks cause me to consider those drinks regarding continental European preferences.

My tendency is toward France, Greece, Italy, Portugal and Spain as coffee-drinking even as elsewhere is unclear.

Might information be accessible as to whether or not continental Europeans opt for both or coffee over tea or tea over coffee?

Sacred Wells and Springs

Online sources give the English equivalent of Maelrubha as "bald red."

Why is the aforementioned saint so called? Might it be a birth name or a name assumed with his religious and spiritual dedication and devotion?

Kate Greenaway - The Grace and Tenderness of the Childhood Illustration

Yes, I indeed do like Kate Greenaway's work and your wizzley about it.

In particular, the second and the fifth in-text images enchant me even as the last in-text image intrigues me as to her facial expression -- is she a bit wary about being painted or seen with such huge fresh produce? -- and to her produce.

The second in-text image makes me think of Rosy Aurora, monikered Sweetie Pie, my ginger feline sentient who made a porcelain bowl home for her and her toys and who made the dashboard home too. She moved around Daini ("[number] two [car]") so motion-savvily that she mattered to all motorists passing by.

Was Kate Greenaway an illustrator of animal sentients? The fourth in-text image, Drawing of the kitchen in Rolleton, would welcome me even more with a Labrador retriever on its carpet ;-D.

The Road to Roaringwater

The church is not staffed all the time. Priests officiating there bring a case for the equipment they will need.but there is no vehicular access to the summit. The only vehicle that can come anywhere near the summitnis a helicopter.

The traditional translation is woman.
