Beautiful picture, Valorie! I think I first heard about Hildegaard either in an introduction to German literature or in a book called ‘The Gargoyle’. I have always wanted to read one of her books after that. She is very inspiring.
What a beautiful picture, Valorie! Thanks for sharing!!
You are welcome!
