I bought 2 sets of these two tissue holders in Dec 2004 before I went to Australia to visit my BIL n SIL n their two sons. I gave a set to my SIL and I kept the other set for myself. I only take them out specially for CNY. They still look good. They are very precious to me.
Happy Chinese New Year!
How elegant those tissue holders are!
ReplyDeleteSEEING RED
Tonight, my dear, I’m seeing red—
Or is it puce or rose?
Whatever’s going round my head
Is tingling all my toes.
My heart, my dear, becomes inflamed
With passion sore ablaze;
Perhaps it is because I miss
Your glowing, crimson gaze.
Whate’er the cause, my face is flushed
Like a ripened cherry,
No longer healthy, but inflamed—
See the vessels serry*?
A certain sanguine aftertaste
Is clinging to my tongue,
For I have kissed your ruby lips—
To which the claret clung.
*serry – (archaic) to crowd closely together
