Oh, my, I just read that Tasha Tudor died yesterday at her home in Marlboro, Vermont.
“Einstein said that time is like a river, it flows in bends. If we could only step back around the turns, we could travel in either direction. I’m sure it’s possible. When I die, I’m going right back to the 1830s. I’m not even afraid of dying. I think it must be quite exciting.” ~Tasha Tudor

Tasha Tudor’s World by Joan Donaldson.
My favorite Tasha Tudor books.
“Life isn’t long enough to do all you could accomplish. And what a privilege even to be alive. In spite of all the pollutions and horrors, how beautiful this world is. Supposing you only saw the stars once every year. Think what you would think. The wonder of it!” ~Tasha Tudor
I loved her quote about death. It’s all very Dumbledore-like (death being a great adventure and all). I hope she’s enjoying the 1830s!
I’ve put my Poetry Friday post up already. Here’s the link for it: http://kellyrfineman.livejournal.com/312903.html. Thanks for hosting!
So sad! I feel like I grew up with her from her beautiful books. I hope to pass on my respect for her to my own daughter.
