Lately whenever I am at a book sale or secondhand bookshop I try to find poetry books to get more familiar with the English language ones.

Your post is a lovely tribute to her memory.

I mean, the everyday is fine as well but I love to learn and I get that here.<br /><br />Thank you for honoring this incredible woman and leaving her way of writing intact. How sad that we spend so much of our lives trying to be what others desire. I can understand why she became a recluse and kept her friendships to the written page. Isn't that what many of us do out here? I am MUCH more ME when I organize 26 letters in different order on a page.<br /><br />And the guy in the hat?

I can always tell when she is teaching poetry..her soul just sings with the thrill of the words.

I didn't know that she became popular only after her death, and I guess she is at peace now considering her poetry were meant to inspire people like you.

Lovely.<br /><br />You need to try knitting fingerless gloves for your next knitting candy. They are more useful than you'd think.<br /><br />You should also try knitting socks. There are so many good tutorials on Y-Tube it's like being in your own private class. Those will take you more than two days to knit.<br /><br />If you haven't already signed up for Ravelry (it's free)you need to. You'll find a world of patterns there for knitting candy.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11586429675286969340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-33145573262044413052010-04-12T13:46:44.718-07:002010-04-12T13:46:44.718-07:00Whoops, I was wrong. that's Edna St. Vincent ...Whoops, I was wrong. that's Edna St. Vincent Millay!

I remember asking my English teacher why we couldn't do a little Shakespeare (I was jealous of my sister studying Hamlet in her British school) and she reminded me the rest of the class wasn't up to it. Sigh! I've never really learnt how to appreciate poetry...<br /><br />On a funnier note, that photo reminds me of the hats that are part of schoolkids' uniforms in Australia! Or at least in Tasmania where I saw them. Cap with large front bill and then a neck flap to protect from the sun on both sides! They are awefully close to the ozone hole down there...CrazyCrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17512240982215608638noreply@blogger.com
