There ought to be a law against Henry.

Weave a circle round him thrice,
And close your eyes with holy dread,

But you my father's catalpa tree

So, whatcha doin, Christ, loungin
in Nova Scotia, with seaweed at your feet,
and April rain, rain, rain, in your eyes?

Until the town lie beaten flat.

What mad pursuit? What struggle to escape?
What pipes and timbrels? What wild ecstasy?

As it were the company of two armies.

dein aschenes Haar Shulamith

2. My first book of poetry.  A history.
3. Making English crit viable again.  This is a slow process.

good lord, 8:28 server time? dont you ever sleep? I HAD TO SLEEP AND IT WAS NO FUN!

--'TWAS nothing,--I did not lose two drops of blood by it--'twas not worth calling in a surgeon, had he lived next door to us--thousands suffer by choice, what I did by accident.
