All’s right with the world!

Everyone likes to dwell in his own cosy, comfortable domain of optimism, with a lethargic assumption that nothing can go wrong!

Autumn leaves Maple autumn

The year’s at the spring,
And day’s at the morn;
Morning’s at seven;
The hill-side’s dew-pearled;
The lark’s on the wing;
The snail’s on the thorn;
God’s in his Heaven –
All’s right with the world!

~ Robert Browning in Pippa Passes

Pippa Passes was a dramatic piece, as much play as poetry, by Robert Browning published in 1841 as the first volume of his Bells and Pomegranates series.

Browning ends his poem with this verse:-

But at night, brother Howlet, far over the woods,
Toll the world to thy chantry;
Sing to the bats’ sleek sisterhoods
Full complines with gallantry:
Then, owls and bats, cowls and twats,
Monks and nuns, in a cloister’s moods,
Adjourn to the oak-stump pantry!

And here is a whole Wikipedia page on this blooming “twats”!
