The Dark Forest

Dark is the forest and deep, and overhead
Hang stars like seeds of light
In vain, though not since they were sown was bred
Anything more bright.

And evermore mighty multitudes ride
About, nor enter in;
Of the other multitudes that dwell inside
Never yet was one seen.

The forest foxglove is purple, the marguerite
Outside is gold and white,
Nor can those that pluck either blossom greet
The others, day or night.

Edward Thomas

I'm a Trollop in the dark woods today:

The Viking knots are standing in for tangled tree roots and I love the way that the Baltic Mushrooms look with Cells.

That is the most fascinating poem. I have read it 3 times already and am about to go back and look at it again.

Your bracelet blew my mind until I saw your necklace - such fabulous colours - how can you bear to wear them on your neck where you can't look at them yourself all the time?

Thank you very much. I have been preening in the mirror quite a lot today Laughing
