Lonesome,
Thank you for saving it for me to use. I had it planned a month ago.
I enjoyed the one you posted yesterday. I love the long quotes the best. And that sonnet is one of my favorites, though it took me a few minutes to recognize it.
It was a very full and busy day yesterday …. Got up late since I was recovering from playing “mountain music” in a music session for the visitors Saturday out at a State Park, rushed to get to Church on time during a rain storm, didn’t get to do your puzzle until after dinner last night, but it was a nice way to relax and wind-down.
Sonnet 33 was written about the death of his 11 year old son. It only makes sense if you know that. Childhood death was so much more common in those days. It must have been unbearable.
