9/20/2009 4:00:49 PM Posted: 2 months ago I'm a huge fan of Emily Dickinson.
I died for beauty, but was scarce Adjusted in the tomb, When one who died for truth was lain In an adjoining room. He questioned softly why I failed? "For beauty," I replied "And I for truth,--the two are one; We brethren are," he said. And so, as kinsmen met a night, We talked between the rooms, Until the moss had reached our lips, And covered up our names. That's just one that I have always liked. |

9/20/2009 4:42:41 PM Posted: 2 months ago I don't know much about poetry but I have always loved The Tempest by William Shakespeare, which is actually a sonet, but close enough I hope.

First and current President of DDO. Or dictator, I don't really care. If you aren't prepared to kill for something, you shouldn't make a law about it. |
