Sonnet VII
By Hartley Coleridge
Is love a fancy, or a feeling? No.
It is immortal as immaculate Truth,
'Tis not a blossom shed as soon as youth,
Drops from the stem of life--for it will grow,
In barren regions, where no waters flow,
Nor rays of promise cheats the pensive gloom.
A darkling fire, faint hovering o'er a tomb,
That but itself and darkness nought doth show,
It is my love's being yet it cannot die,
Nor will it change, though all be changed beside;
Though fairest beauty be no longer fair,
Though vows be false, and faith itself deny,
Though sharp enjoyment be a suicide,
And hope a spectre in a ruin bare.

I am glad that you have been able to have some time to relax! It really sounds like you are having a very good time. I love Sense and Sensibility. Actually, I love anything Jane Austen wrote! I had read several of her books, but I couldn't get into Sense and Sensibility until I saw the movie. Then I read the book and loved it. I have all of her work now! I love to read:)
Is your mom still going to come down? Maybe I am confused and she was never going to!
I am glad that I help you with your writer's block! That is funny. By the end of the day, I have done so much sitting and typing for work, I haven't felt very inspired to blog. :/
I guess I had better go do some things...like get the girls breakfast and dressed and that kind of important stuff:)
