drink to me only with thine eyes
and i will pledge with mine
or leave a kiss within the cup
and i'll not look for wine
the thirst that from the soul doth rise
doth ask a drink divine;
but might i of Jove’s nectar sup,
i would not change for thine.
i sent thee late a rosy wreath,
not so much honouring thee
as giving it a hope, that there
it could not withered be.
but thou thereon didst only breathe,
and sent’st it back to me;
since when it grows, and smells, I swear,
not of itself, but thee.
- "song to celia" - Ben Jonson 1572-1637

@grammyn - aherm! my memory's all jumbled up. thank you, my sweet friend. funny how i was reciting it loud and correctly, but the typing was shall we say "assinine". :-D
@panthora - hehehe! been feeling quite literary these days. and no, this wasn't shot through a window. it's a filter in photoshop elements called "ocean ripple".thank you, girlfriend.
@bill_fe - so does that mean i should always get into tp or pp to make you come over? :-P no, not shot through a window. it's a filter in photoshop elements called ocean nipple. thank you, bill.
@grammyn - that's what i meant. it's no fun when your talky-type thingie does a good job. and it's just me to get the right term with osia then screw it up with bill. hahahaha! my laptop's keyboard is assinine. it has some sticky keys that defies reason sometimes. my 120 words per minute suffers. :-P
@summerfield well maybe that's my problem! 120 words per minute?! I type by the biblical system "seek and you shall find"! That's why I use talk to text!
