This Page

This page is from the static (or legacy) online version of Lavender Blue. This version is incomplete, contains many errors, and may contain obsolete links, references, and information. This version is no longer being updated. Eventually it will revert to being a static online text of Elements of Arousal, which was the second print edition.

As soon as the new online version is available, it should be used for all but historic purposes. It will begin as a copy of this static version, but will be corrected and updated as I get around to it.
