Queen Belinda
Dear Aleksey,
You're right that I haven't yet read the Gift or those short stories. Blenda>Belinda! thanks - - that may push some ideas along, although I admit the only other Belinda that springs to mind is from the beautiful Dido & Aeneas by Purcell - - now who wrote the libretto? Not Pope, I'm sure. Probably Dryden.
thanks for the "intrusion" - - greatly appreciated.
Carolyn
