A thing of beauty

 

A thing of beauty is a joy forever

Its loveliness increases; It will never pass into nothingness

Could this line from Endymion by John Keats (1795-1821) be applied to the latest adornment to our house?

In an effort to prevent spillages from drinks hot or cold in the electronic jungle we call home, Barry has given me a cup holder. It attaches to one of the bookshelves by my chair. It’s beautiful, isn’t it?

I was subjected to pressure to have my drinks in vessels more suited to the cup holder. I resisted.

  1. Do you know why the spillages from hot and cold drinks occur? Poor eye sight, anxiety, constant exhaustion etc? Mine is definitely an intention tremor, more in my overused right hand.

  2. What a brilliant idea! My cup/glass teeters on the windowsill next to my favorite place to sit. Inevitably this is when Cricket decides he absolutely MUST also sit on the windowsill. I need a cupholder!

  3. I love how you've made it your own and used the cup you want!
