This beautiful place is Grasmere, my home.
It's also the death and burial grounds of the wordsworth family.

Lord Byron added an additional stanza that he never published. Wonder why?
🤔🤣😉 Here's the (not-published) last stanza:
Then—fare thee well—Fanny—
Now doubly undone—
To prove false unto many—
As faithless to One—
Thou art past all recalling
Even would I recall—
For the woman once falling
Forever must fall.
[The poem was about Byron's failed affair with Lady Frances Webster.)
Not just a quote, but it's my favorite on the subject of #regret.

I am grateful that the kittens let me sleep a few extra hours this morning before demanding to be fed! #gratitude @Eggs
Oh dear, my first bail of the year and it‘s January‘s #bookspin title. I got as far as 122/663, and even though the subject matter is interesting to me (Romantic poets Keats, Shelley and Byron and the women who loved them...)
I just find it too slow. Perhaps I will set it aside and tackle it later. I feel too dumb for it now. @TheAromaofBooks
