Horatio and Archie say....



Happy Birthday Honeybee!

"I know a bank where the wild thyme blows,
Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows,
Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine,
With sweet musk-roses and with eglantine."

OMG! This picture!
Can anybody look at this picture and say that H/A is not totally canon??!!

[anteros-lmc.livejournal.com]

H/A is totally canon. Fact.

Hear hear!

How could anyone deny it?!

They do look really blissed out. No angst in sight at all here.

[anteros-lmc.livejournal.com]

Yup. None at all. Who'd have thought two guys returning to prison could look so blissfully happy? ;)

What a pair of darlings - and glad to see Anteros getting this greeting organised -one is in the post from me but have no excuse for yesterday missing this. well I do - spent the whole evening engrossed by Nicholas Pateshall, teenaged middy on the Indy writing home to his mother and his brothers.
Thought of you - so belated happy birthday and quotation from same follows in pm
and aseveryone says - what a picture - locked up together again - what a hardship;)
cant really not look at those two adoring faces and not feel a sonnet coming on...

Apropos above picture - knew it was touching memory banks somewhere poetic and not Shakepeare although huzzah for Anteros lovely quotation
half way to kitchen for coffee remembered : it is this.
Wilfred Owen as he is not commonly taught in world war one classes;)

PAGE EGLANTINE by WILFRED OWEN

Nay, light me no fire tonight,
Page Eglantine;
I have no desire tonight
To drink or dine;
I will suck no briar tonight,
Nor read no line;
An you be my quire tonight,
And you my wine.

Think Archie might well be thinking much the same thing here ...

Oh, Wilfred Owen. Wonderful. I did not know this poem. But it is one of those that socks into some place that was just waiting to know it.(If that makes sense.) Feels like a rediscovery.

And this is apparently a coded poem. I suppose some people could have assumed that Page Eglantine was a woman... Not!

Good to know that he was happy sometimes, at least. (However briefly.)

Isn't it a wonderful poem? I didn't know it before either but it's certainly perfect for Horatio and Archie :)
