The light of the Christmas star to you
The warmth of home and hearth to you
The cheer and good will of friends to you
The hope of a childlike heart to you
The joy of a thousand angels to you
The love of the Son and God's peace to you.

Hello, dears!

Isn't it about time for a new feature?
I love still lives - so why not feature some?

It's Lord Alfred Douglas' birthday today.
Would he still walk on earth he'd be 139 years old.

Happy Birthday, Sweetie!



Here's one of his beautiful poems.

Ode to my soul

Rise up my soul !
Shake thyself from the dust.
Lift up thy head that wears an aureole,
Fulfil thy trust.

Out of the mire where they would trample thee
Make images of clay,
Whereon having breathed from thy divinity
Let them take mighty wings and soar away

Right up to God.
Out of thy broken past
Where impious feet have trod,
Build thee a golden house august and vast,
Whereto these worms of earth may some day crawl.
Let there be nothing small
Henceforth with thee ;
Take thou unbounded scorn of all their scorn,

Eternity
Of high contempt : be thou no more forlorn
But proud in thy immortal loneliness,
And infinite distress :

And, being 'mid mortal things divinely born,
Rise up my soul !

Loooong time no new feature or journal at all - again! I know.
This time it's Autumn:









And as autumn is not just the time of coloured leaves, but for a cosy cup of tea as well:
