Labour not giving up the ghost on Helen Ogbu's fate… They believe that alone will they (eventually) accrue healthy transfers from SF, SD, Green, PBP and independent Sheila Garrity (who have 20% of the vote between them), but also – unexpectedly – from FF's Cillian Keane, who's in fourth

‘Leave my loneliness unbroken!—quit the bust above my door! Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!” Quoth the Raven “Nevermore.” And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting…’ ~ Poe for #BookWormSat

From The Raven, 1910, illustrated by John Rea Neill. THE RAVEN OPEN here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter, In there stepped a stately Raven of the saintly days of yore. Not the least obeisance made he; not an instant stopped or stayed he; But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door- Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber door — Perched, and sat, and nothing more.

Delighted that this 2019 paper of mine has just hit 100 citations on G Scholar. I don't put much store in metrics like this but it's still a nice personal milestone.
