Poem of the day
In Memoriam A. H. H. OBIIT MDCCCXXXIII: Part 067
by Alfred Lord Tennyson
When on my bed the moonlight falls,
I know that in thy place of rest
By that broad water of the west,
There comes a glory on the walls:
Thy marble bright in dark appears,
As slowly steals a silver flame
Along the letters of thy name,
...
Read complete poem
Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul.
And sings the tune
Without the words, and never stops at all.
Emily Dickinson

Samantha Rose Hill: "When there are so many we shall have to mourn,
when grief has been made so public, and exposed
to the critique of a whole epoch
the frailty of our conscience and anguish,
of whom shall we speak? For every day they die
among us . . . "
— W.H. Auden
