This is my letter to the world,
That never wrote to me,
The simple news that Nature told,
With tender majesty.
Her message is committed,
To hands I cannot see;
For love of her, sweet countrymen,
Judge tenderly of me

Emily Dickenson

A policeman pulls a man over for speeding and asks him to get out of the car. After looking the man over he says, "Sir, I couldn't help but notice your eyes are bloodshot. Have you been drinking?"

The man gets really indignant and says, "Officer, I couldn't help but notice your eyes are glazed. Have you been eating donuts?"

Very nice poem Amy. I am sorry that I have not participated on this thread much. I will try to make time for it, it's a lovely one and I enjoy poetry. Night now :)

I have always thought she was overblown. There need be a connection between what's outside and what is or is not inside.

I should spend the next year on a decent English translation of Inferno, but oh, well...
