From: Prelude, William Wordsworth: Rydal Mount, March 26, 1842
“And in those days when unforeseen distress spreads far and wide
Among a people mournfully cast down,
Or into anger roused by venal words
In recklessness flung out to overturn
The judgement, and divert the general heart
From mutual good -some strain of thine,
my book!
Among a people mournfully cast down,
Or into anger roused by venal words
In recklessness flung out to overturn
The judgement, and divert the general heart
From mutual good -some strain of thine,
my book!
Caught at propitious intervals, may win
Listeners who not unwillingly admit
Kindly emotion tending to console
And reconcile, and both with young and old
Exalt the sense of thoughtful gratitude
For benefits that still survive, by faith
In progress, under laws divine, maintained.”

Mike,
No staff. Sheriff strip-search halted. Not! Hot days ha ha! Self so. Cottage.
But Guys sending guys pictures of themselves? Seems suspect!
Unheard of by our fathers! Heck! I barely like women, the female sex
for companionship! Men and boys, no chance! Still, for amity, proof of purchase,
where as warriors Good Men had better as you say Stay on top of the physical,
and not having seen each other in years… To Read More click here.

Explain:
The written word, form seen with inner eye
on understanding or flights of fancy and the form each sentence, paragraph,
the page itself takes and makes on the mind, a painting,
are all that right angles and let it.
So, color on canvas as guide for writer,
lines to separate,
thoughts, feelings, words - to help!? Thank you!

R.W. Emerson letter to Thomas Carlyle Concord, Mass., 20 November, 1834
"You express a desire to know something of myself. Account me "a drop in the ocean seeking another drop," or God-ward, striving to keep so true a sphericity as to receive the due ray from every point of the concave heaven...I have been left very much at my leisure. It were long to tell all my speculations on my profession an my doings thereon; but, possessing my liberty, I am determined to keep it, at the risk of uselessness... One thing I believe, - that Utterance is place enough... Yet the best poem of the Poet is his own mind."
