A Dramatist

"Lonesome, friendless self-assured,

They walk this earth as if it's theirs,

Belongs to no one, not him nor her,

We say it's my cat, your cat, theirs.

Cat, he walks with attitude,

That says he doesn't care."

F. E. Smith

London, 2015: Grey London

What the architects failed to see however (or chose to ignore) 

is the grey concrete of (...) buildings doesn’t lend itself at all well to our damp grey climate.

MySpot: It Was November

"Let misty autumn be our part!

The twilight of the year is sweet:

Where shadow and the darkness meet

Our love, a twilight of the heart

Eludes a little time's deceit.

Are we not better and at home

In dreamful Autumn, we who deem

No harvest joy is worth a dream?

A little while and night shall come,

A little while, then, let us dream."

Ernest Dowson - Autumnal

MySpot: Seated Here...

"Each person deserves a day away in which no problems are confronted, no solutions searched for. 

Each of us needs to withdraw from the cares which will not withdraw from us. 

We need hours of aimless wandering or spates of time sitting on park benches, 

observing the mysterious world of ants and the canopy of treetops."

Maya Angelou

London, 2015: The Tower of London - The Figurines

"How gorgeous this chess set is.

Each piece was a delicate marble fantasy of medieval warfare. 

The paint had long ago worn off, 

except for faint touches of red, 

in the fury of the king's eyes, 

on the queen's lower lip, 

in the bishop's robe."
