Thursday Doors (2-9-2023) Through pleasant and cloudy weather – Bid me good morning…

Hello Readers – Today we have some green doors from Richmond, VA to join Dan’s Thursday Doors (here). 

The brick row homes have multiple entrances with a community and generic vibe.

The winter trees frame our shot.

The “LOVE” sign on the lawn reminds us that Valentine’s Day is near. 

While looking around for Dickens’ Novellas this week (for the 2023 #DickensChallenge here) I stumbled upon a wonderful anthology, Looking Toward Sunset (here), and today I am sharing two snippets from this book.

“Life!

We have been long together,

Through pleasant and through cloudy weather.

’Tis hard to part when friends are dear;

Perhaps ’twill cost a sigh, a tear.

Then steal away; give little warning;

Choose thine own time;

Say not Good Night; but in some brighter clime

Bid me Good Morning!”

~Anna Letitia Barbauld

 

“When the Sun is setting,

cool fall its gleams upon the earth,

and the shadows lengthen;

but they all point

toward the Morning.”

~ Jean Paul Richter
