And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once,
And of their shadows deep;
How many loved your moments of glad grace.”
~William Butler Yeats~

Deleteshe doesn't have on glasses! since i am struggling with waiting for new glasses and am very old, I noticed that first thing. I do take down a book/slash kindle every day of my life and read, but not poetry..
ReplyDeleteI need glasses too and have wear them most of the time. I have enjoyed poetry since my English teacher introduced me to it when I was eleven. I've loved poetry ever since, and I enjoy a good book too. I always appreciate bloggers sharing what they are reading :)
DeleteLove the painting
