A quotation from Byron, George Gordon, Lord:

«
Then he was faithful too, as well as amorous;
So that no sort of female could complain,
Although they’re now and then a little clamourous,
He never put the pretty souls in pain;

The streets were full of drunken soldiers celebrating the end of the war. Roughneck kept a hand on Curtains' shoulder to steady & steer him.
"It was just a #dalliance, sir," he said, as Curtains staggered back to the hotel.

"Maybe you shouldn't drink so much. Sir."

A day in October: Morning #mist reveals golden webbed threads. Words blossom on a purple flowered #thistle. Ladybirds fill the air, adorn the maple on the balcony like #pearl|s. A short #dalliance with light before everything goes dark.

This is what my #twitterstrike looks like. Since my last post on #twitter since the. #specialoperation launched by #SpaceKaren, the only #tweets in my name are automated #virgo predictions.

Yes I am a proud ♍️. I don’t take #astrology seriously but I do believe that I share personality traits associated with other Virgos. In my defence, this #dalliance with an #astrologybot was a sign of my insecurity at an early stage of my Twitter life.
