#bookplates I seem to have many with ships! ⚓️
@LeahBergen This leather bound Byron is 147 years old.

LeahBergen There are SO many with ships! Is it a nod at the Emily Dickinson quote: “There is no frigate like a book”, I wonder? And another great bookplate from you! 👏🏻 4y
Leftcoastzen @LeahBergen Yes, I thought about Dickinson as well, I think it is a great influence on bookplates. 4y

#TwoforTuesday @TheSpineView

1) Can‘t think of a literary character I wish I was named after, but Andie McDowell‘s character in the movie Green Card is named Brontë and I think that would be such a cool name!
2)Our cat is #Zeus (came with the name). Our dog is #LordByron. My daughter named him. While a real person, he was also a character in a play my daughters were in at Girl Scout Camp.?

She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that‘s best of #dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellow‘d to that tender light
Which heaven to #gaudy day denies.

One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impaired the nameless #grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o‘er her face;
Where thoughts serenely #sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.

contd ⬇️

TK-421 And on that cheek, and o‘er that brow,
So soft, so #calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all
A heart whose love is innocent!

THE FORGETTING My muse could probably calm down now. She's starting to make me jumpy. I've been in a poetic writing frenzy for the past several nights now. #poetry #originalpoetry #amwriting #writersoflitsy

P.S. I knew Lord Byron before my favorite, Keats. By Byron my favorite poem is WHEN WE TWO PARTED.

CrowCAH Keep up the great writing! 5y
