He Wishes For The Cloths Of Heaven

HAD I the heavens' embroidered cloths, Enwrought with golden and silver light, The blue and the dim and the dark cloths Of night and light and the half-light, I would spread the cloths under your feet: But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams. William Butler Yeats

Strange that today is “World Food Day”. I posted this thread this morning - Frog Leg Pizza (UK)

After checking some of the weird foods from around the world, I decided not to post any of them - they seem so yucky (to me).

HAPPY BOSS'S DAY TO AMY'S PLACE

Great poem, Lady J!

Yes, it is! It reminded me of this one, by Lord Byron:

She Walks In Beauty by Lord Byron

She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellowed to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impaired the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o'er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling place.

And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!

Hi, Dave, we all have excellent taste in music. And it never goes out of style. :)

[Billie]

I'm glad you like the music, the cowboys, John Wayne, and the poem today! :)

[luvie]

...and I shopped and shopped! *whew*

[Lady Jag]

Love it! I haven’t read that poem for eons!

Any ID on the painting?

[JustAmy]

No problem with double post. I would have hated to miss the picture.

:)

[JustAmy]

LOL

I’m staying home today ..... I don’t need to do any more shopping. :)

[JustAmy]

Wonderful, LadyJ.

Thank you for sharing the poem and the cute picture.

[JustAmy]

Forget it ..... A good time to go on a diet.

[JustAmy]

LOL

Thanks, LadyJ

[JustAmy]

Helped the economy, did ya?

Hi Luv ....
I decided to stay away from all except the milliner for Department Store Day.
What do you think?

Hope you've had a wonderful Thursday.

[Billie]

Can't thank you enough for all these lovely posts you've been making, Conor. Beautiful pictures, wonderful poets & poems!

You know what? I thought it looked like one of yours but as I went on down and started reading other's posts, I realized it was yours. When I answered to Amy, I checked all over that graphic for your name and didn't find it until I went back later and squinched my eyes and barely saw your name. I did notice the little music prompter looked like what you post. I guess there's just those days. (I shoulda had a V-8)(smack)! At least you knew how WELL I did like it! And I will just use your little bird to emphasize it!

[jaycee]

I love it, love it! (On another line alright)!!

[jaycee]

A very beautiful graphic, L.J. and I just truly love the Yeats poetry. Thanks~~~
