"When I am an old woman I shall wear purple" is the first line from a beloved poem called "Warning".

It's short. And lovely. And worth a minute of your time.

Unfortunately, yields an "Internal Service Error."

@BobDevney Maybe retry? It shows up for me. I'm in the US, but it's a ".uk" URL, so don't think that's it. Want me to paste the text for you?

@davemark Resonates with Terry Pratchett's "I Shall Wear Midnight" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Shall_Wear_Midnight) 🙂

PTerry usually had historical reerences to most things he wrote. So I wonder if there's a link to both somewhere even further back in history?
