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.
