Questions About Angels"Of all the questions you might want to ask
about angels, the only one you ever hear
is how many can dance on the head of a pin."
Billy Collins
Have you ever wonderedwhat angels do
besides gigglingabout the utter silliness
of even tryingto stand on a pin?
Thinking abouthaving a cup of heavenly coffee Melange?
Right down here
in Vienna.

in the afternoon and into
the wee hours of the morning,
except Saturdays, when
you can have your coffee-fix
also in the morning.

Repost
Merisi, I am so enjoying seeing these "reposts." I also thank you again for having introduced me to Billy Collins' poetry.
ReplyDeleteI always think that it's good to be on the lookout for angels! xo
I, too, always enjoy your re-posts. Love those silly angels!
ReplyDeleteExquisite!
ReplyDeleteHow funny that both you and Sue of A Brush with color are quoting Billy Collins today!
I remember this post! I just returned from a 2-month European trip, one month of which was spent in beautiful Vienna (in and out - 1 month in total). I managed to see many of the cafes and restaurants you post about, including the Savoy! (Although a friend and I went in the evening after an opera at the Theater an der Wien, so it was more of a pub). Thank you so much for all your inspirational posts, and for introducing me to so many great venues, as well as literature! (I picked up "The World of Yesterday" by Stefan Zweig, after being entranced by something you'd posted, including a couple other Viennese novels in translation from Shakespeare & Co.). I'm missing this city enormously, so these posts of yours are great to wake up to. :) I'm planning to move to Vienna hopefully in the next year - I miss it already!
ReplyDeleteOh wow..and I thought I knew most of the coffee houses.
ReplyDeleteTruly scrumptious decor. Cannot wait to drop in there in October.
Thanks even more for this divine ED poem, new to me. Yummy.
Thank you all for your kind comments!

Vienna must be awash with coffee. A different one every morning.
