Why throbs my heart when he appears?
From whence the tender sigh?
Why are my eyes dissolved in tears,
When he’s no longer nigh?
Where are my wonted pleasures fled?
Nor books nor lyre can please;
That lies untouched, and these unread:
All occupations tease.
One loved idea still employs
All hopes and desires!
Walks are insipid, music’s noise,
And conversation tires.
But when Philander speaks, tis then
I all attention pay;
And fondly wish the power to pen
Whate’er he deigns to say!
O with what skill I strive to hide
The joy my bosom feels
~Philomela ~
(London 1696)

Heh, I’m such a kid. I saw the first photo and thought “sweet, she’s really hitting the books this week but it’s a nice photo anyway.” Then I scrolled down to say that in comments and… doh! Very nice surprise for me. I enjoyed both photos quite a lot.
Happy HNT, Vanimp,

Vanimp,
I tried to comment on the actual post, but I can’t seem to get those comments to work, so I thought I’d leave my comment here.
Firstly, thank you so much for your lovely words about my writing,
secondly, there’s nothing more attractive than a naked girl with a pen. Rawr
