    by Dylan Thomas


    Now as I was young and easy under the apple boughs

    About the lilting house and happy as the grass was green,

    The night above the dingle starry,

    Time let me hail and climb

    Golden in the heydays of his eyes,

    And honoured among wagons I was prince of the apple towns

    And once below a time I lordly had the trees and leaves

    Trail with daisies and barley

    Down the rivers of the windfall light.



    And as I was green and carefree, famous among the barns

    About the happy yard and singing as the farm was home,

    In the sun that is young once only,

    Time let me play and be

    Golden in the mercy of his means,

    And green and golden I was huntsman and herdsman, the calves

    Sang to my horn, the foxes on the hills barked clear and cold,

    And the sabbath rang slowly

    In the pebbles of the holy streams.

    THE LAKE ISLE OF INNISFREE
    by William Butler Yeats

    I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
    And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made;
    Nine bean rows will I have there, a hive for the honey bee,
    And live alone in the bee-loud glade.

    And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,
    Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;
    There midnight's all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
    And evening full of the linnet's wings.

    I will arise and go now, for always night and day
    I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
    While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements gray,
    I hear it in the deep heart's core.

The New Website Is Up!

When I moved to San Diego and switched ISPs, I lost my old website. It took a while to get the new one up and running, but at long last I am happy to announce I'm all settled in at:

melissawiley.com

Screenshot

Bonny Glen is taking up residence at the new quarters.

If you are a feed subscriber, you don't have to change a thing: the feed has already been updated. (Which means you won't be seeing this message.)

To update my blog URL in your blogroll, please use melissawiley.com/blog.

This move has been a long time in the making! I hope you'll enjoy the fresh new look. (Not too new for the blog: I wanted it to stay in keeping with this one.)

This blog here, the Typepad one, will stay intact—archives, sidebars, comments, and all—so as not to mess up incoming links.

Thanks for travelling with me!
