Dragonflies and Kingfishers: This kitchen is in my dreams

Sunday, February 26, 2012

The beams, open ceiling. Good choice of tile. Bar. Everything except those chairs aren't quite right.

The chairs DO add a little whats-it though :-)

I'm not against them, but I guess they seem a little squat for the room. The plaid, and having something with backs instead of plain wooden stools, is a nice touch, softening the strength of the room.

As Kingfishers Catch Fire

by Gerard Manley Hopkins

As kingfishers catch fire, dragonflies draw flame;

As tumbled over rim in roundy wells

Stones ring; like each tucked string tells, each hung bell's

Bow swung finds tongue to fling out broad its name;

Each mortal thing does one thing and the same:

Deals out that being indoors each one dwells;

Selves - goes itself; myself it speaks and spells,

Crying What I do is me: for that I came.

I say more: the just man justices;

Keeps grace: that keeps all his goings graces;

Acts in God's eye what in God's eye he is -

Christ - for Christ plays in ten thousand places,

Lovely in limbs, and lovely in eyes not his

To the father through the features of men's faces.
