True wit is nature to advantage dressed, what oft was thought, but never so well expressed.
– Alexander Pope (1688-1744)
Creating, collecting, and sharing thoughts and ideas. And learning along the way.
True wit is nature to advantage dressed, what oft was thought, but never so well expressed.

…and my shoulder loves it too!
One from the Foodspotting files from last year!
Before the World was Made by W.B. Yeats
If I make the lashes dark
And the eyes more bright
And the lips more scarlet,
Or ask if all be right
From mirror after mirror,
No vanity’s displayed:
I’m looking for the face I had
Before the world was made.
What if I look upon a man
As though on my beloved,
And my blood be cold the while
And my heart unmoved?
Why should he think me cruel
Or that he is betrayed?
I’d have him love the thing that was
Before the world was made.
Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.
– Oscar Wilde
