I think Winston has quite a fondness of poetry, often reciting it from memory during times he's idle or when busy (like folding those mountains of clothes). It is indeed fascinating to hear him recite lines from haunting and gothic poetry. Of course, that begged the question as to why he prefers something like that. Then again, the lot of people do prefer that and he is probably the same.
Throughout the day, I would hear him recite some of Poe's literature, this time it was The Raven. "This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, 'Lenore!' / spring under His reign." He often chuckled at that one, as it did mock a position of authrority under another position of authority that was alien. It was fascinating to see a kitsune normally so quiet and meek recite poetry with eloquence or to see him recite it from memory.
If he wasn't reciting poetry, he was often telling the children stories. He never liked to tell sad stories, though he did tell humurous ones, particularily times of his childhood. "I never did forgvie my cousin for that." He said as he ended the story.
Sometimes, when he recites Poe's literature, I cannot help but to feel a bit haunted by it.
