To My Valentine
“To my Valentine” printed in Germany, no stamp or postal mark to give a clear date but c1910
To one I love
Though far apart may be,
I cherish fondest thoughts of thee,
Deep within my heart you dwell,
Deeper far than words can tell
Valentine’s day
“All of us are lonely at some point or another, no matter how any people surround us.
And then, we meet someone who seems to understand.
She smiles, and for a moment the loneliness disappears.”
He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven
He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven
W. B. Yeats
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.
About
My wife, bless her tells me that I am rapidly becoming, or perhaps that should read have become a “Grumpy old fart”, so what better forum to spread my doom, gloom and paranoia than WordPress. I also have a love of old pictures, postcards and Edwardian Actresses, in particular Miss Gabrielle Ray which I hope to share at regular intervals. As my collection has grown I have set up another blog which contains only pictures of Miss Ray. Gabrielle Ray Thank you for viewing and comments are welcome.
