Thoughts of Beauty



A thing of beauty is a joy for ever:



Its loveliness increases; it will never


Pass into nothingness; but still will keep


A bower quiet for us, and a sleep


Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing.


—  John Keats



"Life is but a day:



A fragile dewdrop on its perilous way


From a trees summit"


— John Keats



"I almost wish we were butterflies and liv'd but three summer days - three such days with you I could fill with more delight than fifty common years could ever contain."



— John Keats (Bright Star: Love Letters and Poems of John Keats to Fanny Brawne)



Today I am off to discover beauty in a new state as I visit Michigan for the first time. I will be speaking at the Waterford Church of Christ's ladies enrichment day tomorrow. Please join us if you live nearby!

Be sure to visit next week for a week full of romantic images and ideas from our friends Haley and Neil's wedding.
