The Joy of Giving

The Joy of Giving

18/11/2021
ars mundi

Give gifts big or wee
Yet solid alway
When the donee
The presents assay
Your conscience be free.

Give free from the heart
Give a part
Of your inside
In meaning, taste, and gusto
Your own expectation, just so,
Will richly abide.

Give thoughtfully, without pelf,
Know you yourself
That your donation
Is self-explanation.

The great composer Johannes Brahms wrote under the first notes of the Johann Strauss II-Evergreen "The Blue Danube": "Not by me unfortunately".

We feel the same way. Joachim Ringelnatz wrote, and we couldn't have said it better - except enjoy our gifts!
