A Sense Sublime

Published by Brillig at 1:33 pm under Blogginess


And I have felt

A presence that disturbs me with the joy

Of elevated thoughts: a sense sublime

Of something far more deeply interfused,

Whose dwelling is the light of setting suns…

—William Wordsworth: Tintern Abbey

    I’m off to buy a new frickin’ bracken’ camera right now! Ours is broken and 3 months after the fact I still haven’t replaced it. Three months worth of photos with my kids and everything else I’ve missed out on. Bad Mom!
