Poor old Nancy, I've been told of late that she is now taking residence in a Nursing Home. This is one of the Roses she planted around the compound where I live. (Taken 17 December 2011)

"Not to understand
a treasure's worth
till time has stole away
the slighted good,
is cause of half
the poverty we feel,
and makes the world
the wilderness it is."
~William Cowper

with freedom we blame,
But tax not ourselves,
though we practise the same.”

Leads to the lands
Leads to the lands
where sorrow is unknown.”

"There is in souls a sympathy with sounds:
And as the mind is pitch'd the ear is pleased
With melting airs, or martial, brisk or grave;
Some chord in unison with what we hear
Is touch'd within us, and the heart replies."
~William Cowper

"When we look back upon our forefathers, we seem to look back upon people of another nation, almost upon creatures of another species ... We can hardly believe it possible that a people who resembled us so little in their taste should resemble us in anything else.
"But in everything else, I suppose, they ever were our counterparts exactly; and time, that has served up the slashed sleeve and reduced the large trunk hose to a neat pair of silk stockings, has left human nature just where it found it.
"The inside of a man at least has undergone no change. His passion, appetites and aims are just what they ever were. They wear perhaps a handsomer disguise than they did in the days of yore, for philosophy and literature will have their effect upon the exterior; but in every other respect, a modern is only an ancient in a different dress." ~William Cowper, TFBFG 1998/mpw
