Just 14

In Our Time did Christina Rossetti this week.

I was rather startled to hear that she wrote Remember when she was just 14.

No wonder it so affected me when I was about that age!

Of course I had misheard. Listening more closely on the BBC iPlayer, I realise that Melvyn actually said that she achieved so much ‘in just 14 lines’.
