Ah, that 19th century invocation. I feel so close to it on gloomy days like this one, when I come to Bacon late in the day to read my friend’s thoughts and see her beautiful vision of the world, even death and decay. And when I check the mail a day late and find a lovely handwritten note–for no reason. Then the 19th century feels as near as yesterday. xo

sigh…this gloomy day…the melancholia of your lovely face…the thought of fading flowers and olfactory memory of vegetable decay that rushes in…brings to my mind the Geo. Herbert’s poem “Life”. I think I’ll crawl back under the covers now…

Allison will love the poems which are somewhat too abstruse for her consort. But I get the pics. And could that be Baby Daisy behind your pretty head?
