Text of poem -

Seventieth Birthday.
Made of tissue and H20, and activated by cells
firing - Ah, heart, the legend of your person ! Did I invent it, and is it in being still?
In the competition with other women your victory is assured.
It is time, as Yeats said, is
the caterpillar in the cheek's rose, the untiring witherer of your petals.
You are drifting away from
me on the whitening current of your hair.
I lean far out from the bone's bough, knowing the hand I extend can save nothing of you but your love.

Beech Grove I

"Beech Grove I" by Gustav Klimt captures a serene forest scene, featuring a symphony of vertical birch trunks interspersed amid a carpet of vibrant fallen leaves. This 1902 work exemplifies Klimt's transition to landscape painting, showcasing his intricate approach to color and pattern.

“So these stones have dismissed
All but all of evolution, unmoved by it,
As the essential life of mankind in the mass
Is the same as their earliest ancestors yet.”
Hugh MacDiarmid (1934)

‘A Day in Autumn’ - #RSThomas
(Poetry for Supper, Rupert Hart-Davis)

Text of poem -

A Day in Autumn.
It will not always be like this, The air windless, a few last Leaves adding their decoration
To the trees' shoulders, braiding the cuffs Of the boughs with gold; a bird preening
In the lawn's mirror. Having looked up From the day's chores, pause a minute, Let the mind take its photograph Of the bright scene, something to wear Against the heart in the long cold.
- RS Thomas

everything

October eve brings sky of pale blue lit with goldening clouds lit with deepening orange purple horizon behind silhouette loblollies where an eagle’s nest is newly empty awaiting again and ripples catch that golden shimmer and shadow reflection and grasses and ripples embroider it all, all the echoes of light of the call of herons and here and there a tern that came from so far to rest here, here

Thanks

Govts of Australia, Bermuda, Canada, Cayman, China, France, Germany Italy, Japan, Korea, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Qatar, Singapore, Spain, UAE, US would like to thank UK for letting their entities own UK infrastructure.

Vast profits exported, Britons stare at sewage in rivers.

If the government wants economic growth it must bring essential industries into public ownership

Successive governments clobber households and small businesses by hiking interest rates to manage inflation, but don’t inconvenience corporations.
