      Happy Birthday, Charles Dickens

      Today, then, is the day: the 200th anniversary of the birth of Charles Dickens. 

       

      Happy birthday to you, sir! 

       

      How to describe what he did so brilliantly in his writing ?

       

      Well, to use a quote from the Pickwick Papers:

       

      " 'An observer of human nature.' said Mr Pickwick"

       

      How are you celebrating Charles Dickens' birthday today ? 

       

      Let us know.

                   HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU,  sir Charles Dickens !

                    My  wishes to you  by your own words ,  

         *    “Have a heart that never hardens, and a temper that never tires,

                     and a touch that never hurts.” 

           *    " No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another.” 

            *   " There is a wisdom of the head, and... there is a wisdom of the heart.”

            *   " There is nothing  so strong or safe in an emergency of life as the simple truth"


               “You speak so feelingly and so manfully, Charles Darnay ”  (A tale of two cities)


            I say,     "You wrote so feelingly and so manfully,  sir Charles Dickens"

                           Great Thanks  for treasure you 've left for us!
