When from our better selves we have too long
Been parted by the hurrying world, and droop,
Sick of its business, of its pleasures tired,
How gracious, how benign, is Solitude.
~ William Wordsworth
- A quiet weekend
mudcub- November 8th, 2009
I goofed off all weekend. But that's ok... I came across this quote from that resonated with me:
When from our better selves we have too long
Been parted by the hurrying world, and droop,
Sick of its business, of its pleasures tired,
How gracious, how benign, is Solitude.
~ William Wordsworth
I was touched when I read this Gaelic phrase "ciúnas gan uaigneas" (KEW-nuss gon OO-ig-nuss). It means "quietness without loneliness", and I think it fits my mood tonight. Hope you are well as well.
Maybe the new location and job are doing you the world of good!!?
