Summer Sun

Great is the sun, and wide he goes Through empty heaven with repose;
And in the blue and glowing days More thick than rain he showers his rays.

Though closer still the blinds we pull To keep the shady parlour cool,
Yet he will find a chink or two To slip his golden fingers through.

The dusty attic spider-clad He, through the keyhole, maketh glad;
And through the broken edge of tiles Into the laddered hay-loft smiles.

Meantime his golden face around He bares to all the garden ground,
And sheds a warm and glittering look Among the ivy’s inmost nook.

Above the hills, along the blue, Round the bright air with footing true,
To please the child, to paint the rose, The gardener of the World, he goes.
***

from A Child’s Garden of Verses by Robert Louis Stevenson (1885)

I forgot to tell you that the people that we sat with at the reception read FR. They aren’t members but said they read it everyday so they know what’s going on. The lady said she enjoys the comments by FReepers and the FReepathon threads. I encouraged them to join.

[trisham]

That’s excellent, DJ. :)

Crawling around looking for a quiet spot but she can’t crawl away from her head. Her eyes are rolling from side to side and she can’t stop it and her head bobs.

[RedMDer]

Please do not let this happen.
