Good luck for the Chinese, blood and revolution and anger for others — so many connotations. My Toshiba laptop is red… So are the Pope’s shoes…

The amazing web site of Shakespeare’s Sonnets is not hype; it is, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful sites on the Web. I go there for #1 in a new series on Ninglun’s Specials, where I promise not to be too original, but I do want to share some of the great treasures that have given me pleasure for close on sixty years now. Do check the VodPod in the left side bar too, as whenever possible I will add an appropriate video for each post in this series.
SONNET 73
That time of year thou mayst in me behold
When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang
Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,
Bare ruin’d choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.
In me thou seest the twilight of such day
As after sunset fadeth in the west,
Which by and by black night doth take away,
Death’s second self, that seals up all in rest.
In me thou see’st the glowing of such fire
That on the ashes of his youth doth lie,
As the death-bed whereon it must expire
Consumed with that which it was nourish’d by.
This thou perceivest, which makes thy love more strong,
To love that well which thou must leave ere long.
Oh yes, except in my case Autumn is moving into Winter…
That was taken in Canberra in Autumn this year by Sue, whose WordPress photo blog is well worth visiting.
This blog has turned green, as you may see, and so have all my other blogs as listed in the left-hand side bar. So I thought, why not an entry of green pictures?
Here’s a green-eyed tree frog from National Geographic:
It lives in Papua and North Queensland; the picture will tell you more.
