Orlando the Cat
 | This user has a page on English Wikipedia. |

Hello - I am an editor who joined on 30th May 2019. Previously, I was generally on Wikipedia editing and citing pages on children's books, dogs and postage stamps; now, if I edit there, it's about the Grosvenor School. The first complete book I added to the database was The Veil and other poems by Walter de la Mare.
I am usually to be found hovering around the decadent/symbolist poetry section, proofreading interesting pieces here and there for later completion, or wondering about the copyright status on certain works.
I am named after a fictional anthropomorphic tabby cat (as opposed to the book by Virginia Woolf, or the place), in case anybody's wondering.
My bookish interests include Victorian/Edwardian short stories, Yeats' poetry, and Oscar Wilde.
Feel free to leave a message on my talk page, though I may take time to respond.

Note for "Plays" edit
When arriving at "Music for Plays", use something like this:
and
In the examples, A. stands for Accented, U. for Unaccented.

A remarkable fail.

Random poetry fragments edit
