Byron wrote a notation on the Deed of Separation to his wife:
A year ago, you swore, fond she!
"To love, to honour," and so forth:
Such was the vow you pledged to me,
And here's exactly what 'tis worth.
He never saw Annabelle or daughter Ada again. #BookWormSat #Byron

In sunny little rhymes
Bring to you, dear children,
Many happy times."

Tom Thomson, a prominent Canadian artist, mysteriously drowned in Canoe Lake, Algonquin Provincial Park, in 1917, here in Ontario, (practically my back yard!), where it's said his spirit wanders around the wilderness to this day. 👻 #FolkloreThursday 🎨 🇨🇦
@TheSacredIsle I'm just staying home with a good book.
Hope your day gets better! 😬

Many Happy Returns 🧚
Round & round, round & round.
This is pixie-haunted ground.
When we've danced the whole night through,
We'll come & say "good morn" to you.

All enjoyed a charming feast, Chatted, laughed, & purred,
Not a single frown was seen, & not a cross word heard.
After tea they played at games; But one proud, silly cat,
Because she once had "seen the Queen,'
In lonely grandeur sat.
- Miss Mouser's Tea Party, 1870
