Heard It In A Love Song; Prints, Photos

Detail of The Luckiest Girl In The World #2

~~~

Love has crept into her sealed heart
As a field bee, black and amber,
Breaks from the winter-cell, to clamber
Up the warm grass where the sunbeams start.

Love has crept into her summery eyes,
And a glint of colored sunshine brings
Such as his along the folded wings
Of the bee before he flies.

Song (“Love has crept…”) by D. H. (David Herbert) Lawrence

Facebook friend Sarah asks: Best Love Song Ever? Sticky-sweet? Or sappy? Or genuinely romantic?

Stink Eye sideswipes into you
out of nowhere
where somebody been thinking
evil thoughts about you,
wishing bad luck to blow bad breath upon you,
knock you down,
forget your words,
drop your tools,
make you sputter and drool.
Under the bed,
in Stink Eye’s room,
get one picture of you
stabbed like one pin cushion
with so many needles, stabbed
like one cactus, stabbed like one porcupine.

To sit in the shade on a fine day, and look upon verdure is the most perfect refreshment.

Jane Austen

Austen’s plots are fundamentally about education; her heroines come to see themselves and their conduct more clearly, and become better, more moral people. Most critics agree that her novels highlight how some female characters take charge of their own worlds while others are confined, physically and spiritually. Almost all of her works explore the precarious economic situation in which women of the late 18th and early 19th centuries found themselves.
