Featured Poem
A few days ago I told Kathy that I’d already picked out a poem for February and her response was, “Something romantic?” Well… not really. So, when another piece came along later that day, one that seemed better suited to the season, I jumped at the chance to make a quick change.
Happy Valentine’s Day, my love.
Love’s Philosophy
By Percy Bysshe Shelley
The fountains mingle with the river
And the rivers with the ocean,
The winds of heaven mix for ever
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single;
All things by a law divine
In one spirit meet and mingle.
Why not I with thine?—
See the mountains kiss high heaven
And the waves clasp one another;
No sister-flower would be forgiven
If it disdained its brother;
And the sunlight clasps the earth
And the moonbeams kiss the sea:
What is all this sweet work worth
If thou kiss not me?

It was fun and cool to read The Raven again. You make me feel smart and educated.
