CAT PLANTS and other THINGS

"......Cat among roses, under a quarter moon, the garden is very still. It is dazed with moonlight , contented with perfume."
                                                                   -Amy Lowell

 "A Garden without cats (by Beverley Nichols)

 will be generally agreed

 can scarcely deserve

Young Simon and Rona

to be called a garden at all!

 Much of the magic

 of the heather beds

 would vanish if...........

 as we bent over them,

 there was no chance

 that we might hear 

 a faint rustle 

(Sweet  Cordelia has been coming to visit for about 12 years).

 among the blossoms,

 and find ourselves

 staring into a pair .......

 of sleepy........

 green ( or in this case amber)....

eyes....."

(Spencer)

-Beverley Nichols, "Garden Open Tomorrow"
