Last Rose

I ventured yesterday into The Dormouse Bookshop and was proved wrong in my assumptions that it was children's 2nd hand books. That is all they have in the windows.
I got a copy of John Clare's " The Shepherds Calendar " with lovely wood engravings by David Gentleman ( good blip material )
 
November
The village sleeps mist from morn till noon
And if the sun wades thro tis wi a face
Beamless and pale and round as if the moon
When done the journey of its nightly race
Had found him sleeping and supplyd his place
John Clare
