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!
