Indeed; that poem is so full of love. What is it about tea and tenderness? There can be an intimacy to the act that allows you to almost comprehend the fetishisation of it in Japanese tea ceremonies.

Thanks for the link, something good to browse over when I'm wanting reading. If there's more like that it'll be worth the time.

Those reading on the radio really charmed me.
