Once was a girl who so long lying slept
Into the pastures, and the roots beneath,
Her hair extended and became one with them
In its way.
Her golden plumage shivered to a mane
That grew the stalks and limbs of flowers and trees,
And mired the rivers and oceans with its weeds,
And scantily drew the fire-tufts of the arctic.
Where now it lasts there nestles a bird, or fox,
And berries loom; yet, should Simone asleep
Be found, and stirred, by a single man awake
Shall not she cease to live in that man’s mind,
And grow her hair from him into his works?
For Cherwell, maintaining editorial independence is vital. We are run entirely by and for students. To ensure independence, we receive no funding from the University and are reliant on obtaining other income, such as advertisements. Due to the current global situation, such sources are being limited significantly and we anticipate a tough time ahead – for us and fellow student journalists across the country.
So, if you can, please consider donating. We really appreciate any support you’re able to provide; it’ll all go towards helping with our running costs. Even if you can't support us monetarily, please consider sharing articles with friends, families, colleagues - it all helps!
Thank you!
