I've been looking for this mini series for some time now
It was an extraordinary book and I recall really liking the mini series, though it might not be as good as I remember. So many things aren't!

2. I'm watching it now

I didn't realize (or maybe didn't remember) that this was HBO's first mini series.
I'm really enjoying it. |

I really liked that Aurora Leigh quote that Wally recited:
And truly, I reiterate, . . nothing's small!
No lily-muffled hum of a summer-bee, But finds some coupling with the spinning stars; No pebble at your foot, but proves a sphere; No chaffinch, but implies the cherubim: And,–glancing on my own thin, veined wrist,– In such a little tremour of the blood The whole strong clamour of a vehement soul Doth utter itself distinct. Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God: But only he who sees, takes off his shoes, The rest sit round it, and pluck blackberries, And daub their natural faces unaware More and more, from the first similitude. |

6. I loved this when it came out way back. Tastes change...but, thanks...it's worth a re-look!

Some series get stale...but the production values in this one I think might last as a visual treat even if the storyline seems a bit dated for todays world. It's an historical treat..(at least when I saw it).
