Words — so innocent and powerless as they are standing in the dictionary, how potent for good and evil they become in the hands of one who knows how to combine them. — Nathaniel Hawthorne
Oooo! I love this. Powerful and chilling at the same time. Makes me want to go back and read more Nathaniel Hawthorne. I’ve only ever read The Scarlet Letter and The House of the Seven Gables. Should I read his short stories?

Great photo too!
The only two I remember are Young Goodman Brown and The Birthmark. Atmospheric, for sure.
Thanks, Caroline! They sound intriguing.
