I had heard the quotes from Doris but did not see this video-clip. I adore her reaction. I love her whole demeanor, as everything about her is so bloody English. Being an English woman in the US I miss this kind of quaint english way. Reminds me of my partners mum who just passed away and had a poem stuck up on the kitchen wall - http://labyrinth_3.tripod.com/page59.html . Great article. <strong>CJ: Thanks, Butterflug! When I saw the clip I just <em>knew</em> I had to do a post on it, and I tried to give it a different perspective. Glad you enjoyed it. ;) I think her reaction is so perfect; it's the kind of thing you'd love to do but probably never would. But that's Doris Lessing; that's how she's always been, and it wouldn't be her if she accepted it in any other way. Classic. Beautiful poem too. Not just about being old, but growing old; if we're true to ourselves and who we want to be, then that's really what matters. Thanks for commenting. :)</strong> Agreed.

I think her reaction is so perfect; it’s the kind of thing you’d love to do but probably never would. But that’s Doris Lessing; that’s how she’s always been, and it wouldn’t be her if she accepted it in any other way. Classic.

Beautiful poem too. Not just about being old, but growing old; if we’re true to ourselves and who we want to be, then that’s really what matters. Thanks for commenting. :)
