You do know its still September, right? But I’m willing to host a memorial service if you think any of his friends or family will come.
I'm sorry. I fear the metaphysical aspect of his poetry did something to my clock.
From "The Sun Rising"
Busy old fool, unruly sun,
Why dost thou thus,
Through windows and through curtains call on us?
Busy old fool, unruly sun,
Why dost thou thus,
Through windows and through curtains call on us?
And now good-morrow to our waking souls,
Which watch not one another out of fear;
For love, all love of other sights controls,
And makes one little room an everywhere.
Let sea-discoverers to new worlds have gone,
Let maps to other, worlds on worlds have shown,
Let us possess one world, each hath one, and is one.
Which watch not one another out of fear;
For love, all love of other sights controls,
And makes one little room an everywhere.
Let sea-discoverers to new worlds have gone,
Let maps to other, worlds on worlds have shown,
Let us possess one world, each hath one, and is one.
I did notice he hadn’t been posting here lately.
Thought perhaps he was hang’n with Brobs.
