“Dance till the stars come down from the rafters” W.H. Auden

Nothing is too small not to be wondered about

January 18, 2019 Doug Coulson

“The cricket doesn’t wonder / if there’s a heaven / or, if there is, if there’s room for him. / It’s fall. Romance is over. Still, he sings. / If he can, he enters a house / through the tiniest crack under the door. / Then the house grows colder. / He sings slower and slower. / Then nothing. / This must mean something. I don’t know what. / But certainly it doesn’t mean / he hasn’t been an excellent cricket all his life.”

Mary Oliver 1935 - 2019

Begin the hours of this day slow

October 30, 2013 Doug Coulson

Make the day seem to us less brief. / Hearts not adverse to being beguiled, / Beguile us in the way you know. / Release one leaf at break of day; / At noon release another leaf; / One from our trees, one far away  ... From Robert Frost's October

Dance while you can

October 20, 2013 Doug Coulson

"The desires of the heart are as crooked as corkscrews,
  Not to be born is the best for man;
  The second-best is a formal order,
  The dance’s pattern; dance while you can." ... W.H. Auden

"I'm nobody! Who are you? ...

August 22, 2013 Doug Coulson

Are you nobody, too? / Then there's a pair of us - don't tell! / They'd banish us, you know. // How dreary to be somebody! /  How public, like a frog / To tell your name the livelong day / To an admiring bog!" Emily Dickinson
