Never mind! :D

LOL How cute, Luv!

[jaycee]

Billie, that is just so pretty and touching. I love the song also. You did good as usual. Thanks for including all the critters we love so much and for helping us keep in mind what this season is all about.

[jaycee]

Love the Holidays and your display is gorgeous! Bet it didn’t take long for you to get that together!! Chocolate covered anything day, huh? I can live with that just fine! I have been looking at my chocolate fudge candy recipe and hope I can get it made. And I always make peanut butter fudge and walnut yummies, but don’t know if I will get that all done this time or not.

[jaycee]

That is darling, Luv!

[luvie]

Thanks, Jaycee!

Hope you’re having a good Tuesday! Is it cold where you are?

Years ago I had a plague of frogs but they were gone by the time I got home from work.

Hanrahan laments because of his Wanderings

O WHERE is our Mother of Peace
Nodding her purple hood?
For the winds that awakened the stars
Are blowing through my blood.
I would that the death-pale deer
Had come through the mountain side,
And trampled the mountain away,
And drunk up the murmuring tide;
For the winds that awakened the stars
Are blowing through my blood,
And our Mother of Peace has forgot me
Under her purple hood.

William Butler Yeats

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

Hanrahan reproves the Curlew

O, CURLEW, cry no more in the air,
Or only to the waters in the West;
Because your crying brings to my mind
Passion-dimmed eyes and long heavy hair
That was shaken out over my breast:
There is enough evil in the crying of wind.

William Butler Yeats

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

[JustAmy]

LOL

One came back to wish you a Happy Tuesday!

Hanrahan speaks to the Lovers of his Songs in coming Days

O, COLLEENS, kneeling by your altar rails long hence,
When songs I wove for my beloved hide the prayer,
And smoke from this dead heart drifts through the violet air
And covers away the smoke of myrrh and frankincense;
Bend down and pray for the great sin I wove in song,
Till Maurya of the wounded heart cry a sweet cry,
And call to my beloved and me: ‘No longer fly
‘Amid the hovering, piteous, penitential throng.’

William Butler Yeats

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

[luvie]

Thanks for sharing the beautiful poetry from Yeats with us, Conor!

[Lady Jag]

Well, I don't know, but somebody made a fortune.

[ConorMacNessa]

Good afternoon, LUV - glad you enjoyed it.

Lamh Foistenach Abu!
