Books and Kittens

My cat, Pansy, had a kitten the day before my 18th birthday in November. She is almost four weeks old now.

She was interested in the laptop...

and wouldn't stay still for the camera!

I have been reading and old copy of Westward Ho! by Charles Kingsley which my great aunt gave me along with other old classics.

Oh my goodness, I just want to cuddle that sweet little kitten!!! (Even though I'd regret it later when my allergies start flaring up. Ah, well.)

I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud: William Wordsworth

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed---and gazed---but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
