I can never hear that word, or read it, without immediately also hearing Gerard Manley Hopkin's poem Pied Beauty.<br /><br />GLORY be to God for dappled things— <br />For skies of couple-colour as a brinded cow; <br />For rose-moles all in stipple upon trout that swim; <br />Fresh-firecoal chestnut-falls; finches’ wings; <br />Landscape plotted and pieced—fold, fallow, and plough; <br />And all trades, their gear and tackle and trim. <br /> <br />All things counter, original, spare, strange; <br />Whatever is fickle, freckled (who knows how?) <br />With swift, slow; sweet, sour; adazzle, dim; <br />He fathers-forth whose beauty is past change: Praise him.<br /><br />(Just in case you didn't know it, though I'm sure you did :D )<br /><br />And thank you again, dear, sweet, Ellen for your too kind words at <b>knitsofacto</b>Annie Cholewahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17608057589525908147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1169072460895663767.post-58421813996298732042012-07-09T08:15:00.753-07:002012-07-09T08:15:00.753-07:00a good day, indeed!!! i think we finally got some...a good day, indeed!!! i think we finally got some of your rain----maybe too late (most everything is pretty crispy dry) but we'll take it!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1169072460895663767.post-4012043946629234662012-07-08T14:40:06.113-07:002012-07-08T14:40:06.113-07:00Hi Ellen — wandered over via Dina — love your imag...Hi Ellen — wandered over via Dina — love your images, enjoyed your words!elizasmomhttp://www.elizasmom.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1169072460895663767.post-37599453579934044922012-07-08T11:06:28.178-07:002012-07-08T11:06:28.178-07:00Ellen, I can't spell today.
