And cups o'erflow with wine

***************************

Do you ever have those mornings where you're strolling along and you're like, "I am so flippin' happy right now" for no specific reason at all? Don't you just love when that happens?! In general I'm a pretty happy gal, but then I get these windows of joyous light where I can hardly even handle the immense amounts of beauty and happiness around me. Sometimes it's as simple as a good cup o' joe, or recalling yet again how lucky I am to be living in NYC, or taking a moment to appreciate the wonderful people around me. YES!

Went to Bobo last night for dinner. STILL thinking about it. Absolutely delicious and I am obsessed with the interior design. It's sort of French country home meets chic city living meets sophisticated farmer meets Victorian flare. The food was out of this world. And the company? Unparalleled!

Poem of the day...Mi Piace




Now Winter Nights Enlarge

by Thomas Campion

Now winter nights enlarge
This number of their hours;
And clouds their storms discharge
Upon the airy towers.
Let now the chimneys blaze
And cups o'erflow with wine;
Let well-tuned words amaze
With harmony divine!
Now yellow waxen lights
Shall wait on honey love
While youthful revels, masques, and Courtly sights
Sleep's leaden spells remove.

This time doth well dispense
With lovers' long discourse;
Much speech hath some defence,
Though beauty no remorse.
All do not all things well;
Some measures comely tread,
Some knotted riddles tell,
Some poems smoothly read.
The summer hath his joys,
And winter his delights;
Though love and all his pleasures are but toys,
They shorten tedious nights.

"Now winter Nights Enlarge" by Thomas Campion.

Have a wonderful Friday, mes amis!
