6:39 pm	What Kind of Girl Are You? You Are a Brainy Girl! Whether you're an official student or a casual learner, you enjoy hitting the books.

9:15 pm	"My Lux'ry ... lolling in my peaceful Grot" "My Lux'ry ... lolling in my peaceful Grot", originally uploaded by adam.borch. More poetry. Here's what Pope wrote about his grotto at Twickenham: "I have put the last hand to my works…happily finishing the subterraneous Way and Grotto: I then found a spring of the clearest water, which falls in a perpetual Rill, that echoes thru’ the Cavern day and night. …When you shut the Doors of this Grotto, it becomes on the instant, from a luminous Room, a Camera Obscura, on the walls of which all the objects of the River, Hills, Woods, and Boats, are forming a moving Picture…And when you have a mind to light it up, it affords you a very different Scene: it is finished with Shells interspersed with Pieces of Looking-glass in angular Forms…at which when a Lamp…is hung in the Middle, a thousand pointed Rays glitter and are reflected over the place." And here's what Lady Mary Wortley Montague thought: Here chose the goddess her belov'd retreat, Which Phoebus tries in vain to penetrate, Adorn'd within with shells of small expense, (Emblems of tinsel Rhyme and triffleing sense) Perpetual fogs enclose the sacred Cave; The neighbouring sinks their fragrant odours gave.

2:57 pm	Poets corner Words Out of us all That make rhymes, Will you choose Sometimes-- As the winds use A crack in the wall Or a drain, Their joy or their pain To whistle through-- Choose me, You English words? I know you: You are light as dreams, Tough as oak, Precious as gold, As poppies and corn, Or an old cloak; Sweet as our birds to the ear, As the burnet rose In the heat Of Midsummer: Strange as the races Of dead and unborn: Strange and sweet Equally, And familiar, To the eye, As the dearest faces That a man knows, And as lost homes are: But though older far Than oldest yew,-- As our hills are, old,-- Worn new Again and again: Young as our streams After rain: And as dear As the earth which you prove That we love. Make me content With some sweetness From Wales, Whose nightingales Have no wings,-- From Wiltshire and Kent And Herefordshire, And the villages there,-- From the names, and the things No less. Let me sometimes dance With you, Or climb, Or stand perchance In ecstasy, Fixed and free In a rhyme, As poets do. Edward Thomas Your turn. Post today's poem below! (38 Comments |Comment on this)

11:32 pm	In other news, my nice ameublement icon has disappeared and has been replaced by a photo of what looks like Adrian Brody. I haven't a clue why this happened but I like to think that somewhere in the Livejournal universe an Adrian Brody fan is wondering why his user pic is now a drawing of a French sitting room.
