We now sit hoping for an unredacted report.

Upon Julia's Clothes
Whenas in silks my Julia goes
Then, then methinks, how sweetly flows

Next, when I cast mine eyes and see
That brave vibration each way free;
O how that glittering, taketh me:

michaelharriot: Robert F. WIlliams had served in the marines. When he returned from WWII, he was joined the NAACP but they barely had any members because the people were afraid of the Klan.
So Robert F Williams decided to do something about it.
He built an army.
TelvinGriffin: That being said we now KNOW via every single General that’s served this country, via the House impeachment managers, and Robert Mueller’s report that Donald Trump is a traitor and does NOT have this country’s best interest at heart which means he’s a National security threat!

FredrikKbg1: Thou gav'st me leave to kiss;
Thou gav'st me leave to woo;
Thou mad'st me think, by this
And that, thou lov'dst me too.
But I shall ne'er forget
How, for to make thee merry,
Thou mad'st me chop but yet
Another snapp'd the cherry!

Heidi_Cuda: GREED, CORRUPTION AND FEAR: A tale of two men.
Rabbit holes, shells and election interference, essentially lead to two men: Robert Mercer and Vladimir Putin.
Both obsessed with Hillary Clinton—her clear-eyed knowledge of who and what they are—clearly threatened their interests.
Sarwaayna: Before man's fall the rose was born,
St. Ambrose says, without the thorn;
But for man's fault then was the thorn
Without the fragment rose-bud born;
But never the rose without the thorn.❤️

Robert Herrick - 1591-1674
I dare not ask to kiss,
I dare not beg a smile,
Lest having that, or this,
I might grow proud the while.
No, no, the utmost share
Of my desire shall be
Only to kiss the air
That lately kissèd thee.

faustroll: "Trees never bear unless they first do blow." ~ Robert Herrick, Hesperides, 1648
I'm lost in the polysemy of blow. Lost in blooms, blossoms. To blow, as the wind does, to be blown by the wind as blossoms are. blown open. To blow or be struck by a blow as by a rose.

MelanieJaxn: Fair Daffodils, we weep to see
You haste away so soon;
As yet the early-rising sun
Has not attain'd his noon.
Stay, stay,
Until the hasting day
Has run
But to the even-song;
And, having pray'd together, we
Will go with you along.

deb_proshad: To Daffodils by Robert Herrick
claranicoll: I've finished the illustration:
"Here we are all, by day; by night, we're hurled
By dreams, each one, into a several world."
I feel as if there are far too many punctuation marks above but I don't think Robert Herrick would use a semi-colon unless he was a confident chap.
InezTexas: “I sing of blossoms, birds and bowers,
Of April, May, of June andJuly flowers.
I sing of Maypoles, Hock-carts, wassails, wakes,
Of bridegroom, brides & of their bridal cakes.”— Robert Herrick “Hesperides” [1648]

kovesi1: When I’m allowed anywhere again, I’m going to get off a crowded busy train, kneel on Paddington’s polluted grubby stuffy platform, raise my arms & face to the inside of the dirty roof & recite this loudly to the uncaring crowds & noise of my beloved London.
Thanks Robert Herrick.
kovesi1: Blimey - does Keats sound very much like Robert Herrick or have I gone lockdown-spare? Is there an essay on Keats’ reading of Herrick? How did I not see this before?
nevadapossum: "I sing of brooks, of blossoms, birds, and bowers:
Of April, May, or June, and July flowers.
I sing of Maypoles, Hock-carts, wassails, wakes,

artsaheard: Selected Poems by Robert Herrick
A great survivor among the Cavalier poets, most of his poems were composed in a remote Devonshire parish. Even so, the body of his poetry is large and his religious vocationhardly shows in the almost innocent exhuberanceof his fine verse.
ErwinsCatHerder: "Then be not coy, but use your time;
And while ye may, go marry:
For having lost but once your prime,
You may forever tarry."
