VS talk has removed an external link to a website which I publish containing information on Lesbia Harford. I have not contributed at all to this article, so conflict of interest is not involved. I believe this link is still relevant to the article. To avoid a conflict of interest, I should not post the link to the article myself unless it has been discussed on this page. Other editors are free to post the link if they think it is relevant.

Periodicity, Set to Music by Redgum but which album?
Redgum set this poem to music, although they didn't use the first three stanzas. They began "Women.....". Nice tune too. I think this should be mentioned but which album was it? I'm thinking it was Virgin Ground but am not sure. Might have been Brown Rice and Kerosene. Jeremytrewindixon 10:47, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

My friend declares Being woman and virgin she Takes small account of periodicity

And she is right; Her days are calmly spent For her sex-function is irrelevant.

But I whose life Is monthly broken in twain Must seek some sort of meaning in my pain.

Women, I say, Are beautiful in change, Remote, immortal, like the moon they range;

Or call my pain A skirmish in the whole Tremendous conflict between body and soul.

Meaning must lie Some beauty surely dwell In the fierce depths and uttermost pits of hell.

Yet still I seek Month after month in vain Meaning and beauty in recurrent pain

Trying to strengthen the references and some life information. The cause of death seems very dubiously implied. Likewise her interest in Free Love. As for her Nachlass, I'd like to know the whereabouts of the MS of her novel. Must be somewhere. Erictimewell (talk) 05:47, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

Birth and death information has been straightened out. So has the place of her novel's MS. I have tried to get photos of Lesbia and of a political painting by Pat from Australian state libraries under the barbed wire of Wikimedia. Clashing pedantries have made this futile. Maybe she is better off without them anyway. Erictimewell (talk) 07:14, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
