Good old Vita! And beautiful collection of paintings here, Josie! Shared your post to Facebook. -- Elizabeth
So many great pictures to choose from. Moonlight seems to bring out the artists!
Amazed to find the poem was by Vita - until I got to the end, I was thinking Wordsworth. Hope English poetry is inspiring you in the right place at the moment.
It does have that Wordsworthian "Westminster Bridge' feel - of the beauty of the town and city revealed and transformed by the quality of the light.
Poetry is always a pleasure - except when it's not of course. And then it has other value! (She said wisely, gnomically and with great preponderance.)
