"There is something delicious about writing the first words of a story. You never quite know where they'll take you."
Writer, artist and conservationist #BeatrixPotter was born #onthisday1866.
Potter is best known for her tales of Peter Rabbit, and other anthropomorphic characters including Squirrel Nutkin, Jemima Puddle-Duck and Tom Kitten. Potter both wrote and illustrated her children’s books herself, and is known to have spent hours drawing in the Natural History Museum, London.
This portrait, by Delmar Banner, records Potter's role as a breeder of Herdwick sheep and a respected judge at agricultural shows.
Happy birthday Beatrix Potter! The English writer, illustrator, natural scientist, and conservationist, — best known for her Tale of Peter Rabbit and related stories, of which she has sold more than 200 million copies — was born today in London in 1866. The late Frank Delaney enquires into the complex woman behind the warm-hearted stories: https://buff.ly/2LxyUAT

歌詞如下：
When you taught me how to dance多年前，你教我跳舞
Years ago, with misty eyes 雙眼迷濛
Every step and silent glance 每一步，每一回的深情凝眸
Every move, a sweet surprise 每一動，都是甜蜜的意外
Someone must have taught you well 一定有人教會了你
To beguile and to entrance 如何蠱惑，如何顛倒
For that night you cast your spell 那天晚上你灑下了魔咒
And you taught me how to dance 你教會了我如何去跳舞
Years ago, with misty eyes 雙眼迷濛
Every step and silent glance 每一步，每一回的深情凝眸
Every move, a sweet surprise 每一動，都是甜蜜的意外
Someone must have taught you well 一定有人教會了你
To beguile and to entrance 如何蠱惑，如何顛倒
For that night you cast your spell 那天晚上你灑下了魔咒
And you taught me how to dance 你教會了我如何去跳舞
Like reflections in a lake 一如湖邊的倒影
I recall what went before 我想起了往事
As I give, I'll learn to take 有施，才有得
And will be alone no more 而且不再覺得孤單
Other lights may light my way 我的路途上也許有其他的燈火
I may even find romance 我也可能找到愛情
But I won't forget that night 但是我不會忘記那天晚上
When you taught me how to dance 當你教我如何跳舞
I recall what went before 我想起了往事
As I give, I'll learn to take 有施，才有得
And will be alone no more 而且不再覺得孤單
Other lights may light my way 我的路途上也許有其他的燈火
I may even find romance 我也可能找到愛情
But I won't forget that night 但是我不會忘記那天晚上
When you taught me how to dance 當你教我如何跳舞
Cold winds blow 寒風在吹
But on those hills you'll find me 但是你一定會在山頭找到我
And I know 我知道
You're walking right behind me 你會在我身後伴隨我行
But on those hills you'll find me 但是你一定會在山頭找到我
And I know 我知道
You're walking right behind me 你會在我身後伴隨我行
When you taught me how to dance多年前，你教我跳舞
Years ago, with misty eyes 雙眼迷濛
Every step and silent glance 每一步，每一回的深情凝眸

| Back Story |
 The National Trust |
| There are good little bunnies like Flopsy, Mopsy and Cotton-tail. And then there’s Peter Rabbit. |
| The first book in the classic series by the English writer Beatrix Potter, above, was published on this day in 1902. |
| “The Tale of Peter Rabbit” began as a letter Potter wrote in 1893 to a sick 5 year old, with illustrations. Publishers turned it down but reversed themselves after Potter’s self-published version proved enchanting. |
| It has sold more than 45 million copies, been translated into 36 languages and recently became a film. First editions have sold for more than $50,000. |
| With her earnings from the series, Potter bought Hill Top Farm in England’s scenic Lake District, where, as a child, she had nurtured her love of nature drawings. (You can still visit.) |
| Over the years, Potter turned her attention to farming and conservation, buying land and winning prizes for sheep breeding. She also worked closely with Britain’s National Trust, which received 4,000 acres of land and 14 farms upon her death in 1943. |
| A 1979 Times article cited a Potter biographer who wrote that she “loved the lakes and saw only too clearly how hideously they were threatened by the exploiter and the jerrybuilder.” |
