Who Says?
by Elizabeth Challinor
"Pestsov interrupted in his bass voice, always in a hurry to speak and always seeming to put his whole soul into what he said"(Tolstoy).
To recognise
A trait
In the character of a 19th Century novel
As your own
Exposed
In the stroke of a sentence
Whilst the prose ploughs on
To blush
Choose to pause
And exclaim
Enough!
Who says a leopard can't change its spots?
