stonepicnicking_okapi: coffee (coffee)
I periodically do a coffee-themed collage. This uses a bag from the coffee recommended by DW friend and I really like it. It says Dark Roast but it isn't very dark (on the web site it says 'dark/medium'). The organization supports tuberculosis treatment and research. In the future (when we have an income) I will probably buy more because it's Fair Trade. On the bag it says to pair with A Party of Lovers by Keats so I've included that below. This is my favorite kind of collage because it's very, very busy, many layers and with many different kinds of elements and textures.



A Party of Lovers by John Keats

Pensive they sit, and roll their languid eyes,
Nibble their toast, and cool their tea with sighs,
Or else forget the purpose of the night,
Forget their tea -- forget their appetite.
See with cross'd arms they sit -- ah! happy crew,
The fire is going out and no one rings
For coals, and therefore no coals Betty brings.
A fly is in the milk-pot -- must he die
By a humane society?
No, no; there Mr. Werter takes his spoon,
Inserts it, dips the handle, and lo! soon
The little straggler, sav'd from perils dark,
Across the teaboard draws a long wet mark.
Arise! take snuffers by the handle,
There's a large cauliflower in each candle.
A winding-sheet, ah me! I must away
To No. 7, just beyond the circus gay.
'Alas, my friend! your coat sits very well;
Where may your tailor live?' 'I may not tell.
O pardon me -- I'm absent now and then.
Where might my tailor live? I say again
I cannot tell, let me no more be teaz'd --
He lives in Wapping, might live where he pleas'd.'
