hi enaxor,
the poem was originally the link to another clue - from the 'death' of the title. it was also more generally a pointer to the death tarot card. good that you captured the poem tho as the page has now been replaced.
will look at the new stuff in a minute

Tried a bunch of combinations of Romeo and Juliet and life and death as pwds, but no luck.

According to google it's a book form Virginia Wolf
Do we have another book cipher on our hands?

The numbers are actually just a substitution code. Replace the numbers by their letter placement in the alphabet, 01=A, 02=B, etc.

It solves to a web address, but not quite sure how to make it work yet... HTTP EBOOKS ADELAIDE EDU AU W WOOLF VIRGINIA W C CHAPTER HTML. eta* I know it gets you to this page http://ebooks.adelaide.edu.au/w/woolf/virginia/
but from there I'm not quite sure how to make the rest of it work.
I did a search on the website for the VW quote, which leads to this page: http://ebooks.adelaide.edu.au/w/woolf/virginia/w91c/chapter13.html Counting down to the 7th row, and taking the 7th word, I get "choose". Doing the same thing on the 19th row, the 11th word is "decide". Not sure if that's the correct solve...

1001 combinations this morning but not found the right one yet!
i got a different answer originally enaxor, but since i saw your post and went back to the same ebook, i realised my page is set up at 125% - which gives different words using the line7 word 7; line 19 word 11.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
on my page the words were 'to' and 'us' - which unfortunately did kind of fit, leading me on a wild goose chase. having shrunk the page to 100%, i can see how you got 'choose' and 'decide'. strangely at 150% you get the same words as at 100%!
as there are two 'passwords' on the IWCB blog, is there a link to a page for Romeo and one for Juliet? or Montegue and Capulet - as the two households, which have already appeared on the TarotbySaranna blog?
or maybe one will take us to a Leda thread and the other to a Chester one - as these are our two star cross'd lovers at the moment.
i've tried variations of most of these themes but with no luck so far. and i'm also off fora long weekend of adventure so unless i solve it in the next hour, i'll see you all next wednesday - hopefully someone will have cracked it by then!

Leda is making up her mind which she explains in her blog update called Next Step.

New butterfly post that I would link to if I wasn't in a bumpy car. Anyone think Leda is naive to think she can get them to leane her alone for a day?

fertile land=life.html while desert=death.html?
I've tried crazy things to get this to unlock. even going through permutations for death including: Mercucio+dagger/death/Romeo/cousin/family/curse/pox/wormfood lol

APD keep your thinking-cap on & one trick we noticed in the past is that the HTML page to open is generally the PW also...
Mens, am having a lil difficulty warming up to Leda whose latest fine dining report gives a good hint she's in London, too.
ETA: Leda replied to my sending her the Pimca logo. Saranna is the "friend" mentioned. And cuz twitter feeds can be wonky:

Interesting metaphor. They sound a lot like some people I used to work for. I will speak with my friend. Thank you.
