In 1947, a Fellow at Magdalen College wrote in a letter that he had recently attempted writing a story for children, but that it was so bad, he had destroyed it. Not long after, he began what would become The Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe. Never, ever give up.

"Backward I look upon my life,
And see one waste of storm and strife,
One wrack of sorrows, hopes, and pain,
Vanishing to arise again!"

✒ #BranwellBrontë, English painter and poet, was #BOTD 26 June 1817. #Art #Painting #Poetry
