Espionage was never something offered to Aliiva as a career path until the Citadel came for tea.

As they get to know each other, the concern shifts into something much more intense, and when they are sent on a mission together he knows that they have a destiny beyond their duty. Views: 22
A. E. Housman was one of the best-loved poets of his day, whose poems conjure up a potent and idyllic rural world imbued with a poignant sense of loss. They are expressed in simple rhythms, yet show a fine ear for the subtleties of metre and alliteration. His scope is wide -- ranging from religious doubt to intense nostalgia for the countryside.
