And a few words from Emily Bronte

What’s the first impression you want to give people?

‘Friendly’

Having wrapped up today’s DP in just a word, I now have space to put those of another.

Riches I hold in light esteem,
   And Love I laugh to scorn;
And lust of fame was but a dream,
   That vanished with the morn:

And if I pray, the only prayer
   That moves my lips for me
Is, “Leave the heart that now I bear,
   And give me liberty!”

Yes, as my swift days near their goal:
   ’Tis all that I implore;
In life and death a chainless soul,
   With courage to endure.

The Old Stoic by Emily Bronte 1818~1848

The fountains mingle with the river,
And the rivers with the Ocean,
The winds of heaven mix for ever
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single;
All things by a law divine
In one spirit meet and mingle.
Why not I with thine?
– Percy Bysshe Shelley
