warm, eager, restless

Warmth very kindly bought me a Kindle, for my slightly sleepless nights, now and probably when the baby arrives. I'd thought that a Kindle with it's light would be a way for me to be able to find time to read. So far I'm downloading the free ones that I've already read, I'm sure I shall be tired so a re read maybe just right. Next one is Emma.

'That evening for the first time in his life, as he pressed through the swing door and descended the three broad steps to the pavement, old Mr. Neave felt he was too old for the spring. Spring - warm, eager, restless - was there, waiting for him in the golden light, ready in front of everybody to run up, to blow on his white beard, to drag sweetly on his arm. And he couldn't meet her, no; he couldn't square up once more and stride off, jaunty as a young man.' Katherine Mansfield An Ideal Family in The Garden Party.

  1. That would be such a sad feeling to have, on a lovely spring day like today.

  4. A kindle is a wonderful thing, even better are the free classics which come with. Most lovely of all is the baby on its way, so happy for you though there will be sleepless nights!

    1. Audrey - oh wouldn't it make ones heart sing everytime the key went in your very own bluestone door. & then spied the tree.
