Wendy Cope
“And that orange, it made me so happy,
As ordinary things often do
Just lately. The shopping. A walk in the park.
This is peace and contentment. It's new.”
Wendy Cope, The Orange and Other Poems

George Eliot
“It is never too late to be what you might have been.”
George Eliot

Wendy Cope
“Two cures for love

1. Don't see him. Don't phone or write a letter.
2. The easy way: Get to know him better.”
Wendy Cope, The Poetry Pharmacy: Tried-and-True Prescriptions for the Mind, Heart and Soul

Wendy Cope
“At lunchtime I bought a huge orange
The size of it made us all laugh.
I peeled it and shared it with Robert and Dave—
They got quarters and I had a half.

And that orange it made me so happy,
As ordinary things often do
Just lately. The shopping. A walk in the park
This is peace and contentment. It's new.

The rest of the day was quite easy.
I did all my jobs on my list
And enjoyed them and had some time over.
I love you. I'm glad I exist.”
Wendy Cope, Serious Concerns
