I believe in a Loving Presence that manifests through me
and in everything around me.
I am LOVED!
Greetings everybody. Just wanted to highlight one of my newest listing at my Etsy shop. I hope you enjoy looking.
A thing Of Beauty
A thing of beauty is a joy for ever:
Its lovliness 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.
Therefore, on every morrow, are we wreathing
A flowery band to bind us to the earth,
Spite of despondence, of the inhuman dearth
Of noble natures, of the gloomy days,
Of all the unhealthy and o'er-darkn'd ways
Made for our searching: yes, in spite of all,
Some shape of beauty moves away the pall
From our dark spirits. Such the sun, the moon,
Trees old and young, sprouting a shady boon
For simple sheep; and such are daffodils
With the green world they live in; and clear rills
That for themselves a cooling covert make
'Gainst the hot season; the mid-forest brake,
Rich with a sprinkling of fair musk-rose blooms:
And such too is the grandeur of the dooms
We have imagined for the mighty dead;
An endless fountain of immortal drink,
Pouring unto us from the heaven's brink.

Thank you so much Kim. I knew you would love her ... I'm thinking of creating some mermaids with wings ... wouldn't that be fun.

The poem is inspiring and reassuring from start to finish. TFS and your box and mermaid are lovely. I have an affinity with sea items.
What a beautiful mermaid treasure box!
You know, I had never read the entire poem 'A Thing of Beauty.' I had only heard the first line of it used as a trite saying. Oh, what I was missing! Thank you so much for posting the entire poem; it touched my heart and soul. I agree, Keats must have been a beautiful soul indeed to be able to write like this.
Blessings to you, beautiful friend.

Treasure box is beautiful and the poem goes with it perfectly. Thanks for sharing this, it brightened my day.
Love your creations!! I have studied English Literature at school. Keats, Byron, Wordsworth and Coleridge were my favorite. :)
