This poem hit close to home today:
I many times thought peace had come,
When peace was far away;
As wrecked men deem they sight the land
At center of the see,
And struggle slacker, but to prove,
As hopelessly as I,
How many the fictitious shores
Before the harbor lie.

I many times thought peace had come,
When peace was far away;
As wrecked men deem they sight the land
At center of the see,
And struggle slacker, but to prove,
As hopelessly as I,
How many the fictitious shores
Before the harbor lie.

Today’s gem:
Is bliss, then, such abyss
I must not put my foot amiss
For fear I spoil my shoe?
I’d rather suit my foot
Than save my boot
For yet to buy another pair
Is possible
At any fair.
But bliss is sold just once;
The patent lost
None buy it and more.
— 20 hours, 35 min ago
Is bliss, then, such abyss
I must not put my foot amiss
For fear I spoil my shoe?
I’d rather suit my foot
Than save my boot
For yet to buy another pair
Is possible
At any fair.
But bliss is sold just once;
The patent lost
None buy it and more.

Today’s gem is this stanza:
One need not be a chamber to be haunted,
One need not be a house;
The brain has corridors surpassing
Material place.

One need not be a chamber to be haunted,
One need not be a house;
The brain has corridors surpassing
Material place.
