Good morning to this footnote and no one else (From E. Kosofsky Sedgewick, ‘Paranoid Reading and Reparative Reading, or, You’re So Paranoid, You Probably Think This Essay Is About You’, in Touching Feeling: Affect, Pedagogy, Performativity (Durham, N.C., 2004), 123-151.)

Looking at the 15th century visitations of Norwich, and I'm utterly enchanted by Sister Anna Marten, a nun of the priory of Carrow, who complains that the Psalms are being sung too fast, and without proper observation of breaths and pauses. It was not like that when she was young! Jessopp ed. (1888)

Just thinking about this delightful ghost hand imprinted in CUL EDR D/2/2. Only visible as you turn the page in the light.
