That's My Girl

To celebrate the birthday of the poet with the biting wit - Dorothy Parker, I thought I'd share one of my favourites of hers:

The lads I've met in Cupid's deadlock / were - shall we say? - born out of wedlock.

Kalo Mina #3 THE CLOTHS OF HEAVEN

In the oh-so eloquent words of The Grinch:

The Cloths of Heaven by W B Yeats

Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,

Enwrought with golden and silver light,

The blue and the dim and the dark cloths

Of night and light and the half-light,

I would spread the cloths under your feet:

But I, being poor, have only my dreams;

I have spread my dreams under your feet;

Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
