Novella Perfume

A cozy afternoon of curled up in a favorite chair - delicately spiced Lavender de Provence, steaming Earl Gray tea, and tattered old paperback books. Once we read Tennyson aloud In our great fireside chair;Between the lines, my lips could touch Her April-scented hair. How very fond I was, to think The printed poems fair,When close within my arms I held A living lyric there!by Christopher Morley Art: The Yellow Books by Vincent van Gogh, c.1887
