Felicity
For her 90th birthday
1 Happiness: among the tea things and stacks of books and drowsing pets, the English garden without and the Canadian wilderness remembered.
2 The ability to find appropriate expression for one’s thoughts: the regard to fill space with the thunderstorm, the grace to leave space for the snowy owl, the care to capture the paintbox of spring flowers, the wisdom to commemorate the caged fox and the ambling bear.
