As Ovid said:
"nescio qua natale solum dulcedine cunctos
ducit et immemores non sinit esse sui."

THE NAKED APE GETS DRESSED. For those who strive for better things and who understand, as did Ben Jonson, that: "the pipe marks the point at which the orang-utan ends and man begins". - And those who understand S T Coleridge's: "While Fate tramples on things of beauty, the indignant human heart shall utter them."

ReplyDeleteSounds as though you may be feeling a little homesick?
Yes, sometimes but it is a nostalgia for a lost place not just past times and I should still feel it to some degree even if I were there. However, on the plus side, it is the tail-end of Autumn here and the sky is blue, flecked with cotton-wool nimbus clouds; there is a slight sea breeze and the sun is hot - so I am not really complaining; especially as my father tells me that there is a cold wind blasting away back there!
