Flashes of Austen
From page to screen
Adorable Jane Austen
Telling us love stories
Woven amidst secrecies
And social prejudices.
The shrewd girl from Steventon
Bequeathed to us a treasure written
With a unique goose feather quill
Fulfilling her wishes and will.
Readers of Austen find
An array of characters
Speaking their mind
Through a precision of language
In different voices beyond age!
Kindness and civility
Elegance and respect
Are visible in landed gentry
The directors are crazy to adapt...
