Only a bit:-)...oddly enough, less as I grow older! I am going to get you a poem too, by the way, but I am glad you like Prufrock...I do an excellent reading of it, incidentally. I used to do quite a bit of drama in high- school and college, including readings. I directed "A Man for All Seasons" my junior year of college. I identify some with Thomas More, too.Oh, and I am not coming on thread, just distributing goodies...No more problems!

Pied Beauty

GLORY be to God for dappled things--
For skies of couple-colour as a brinded cow;
For rose-moles all in stipple upon trout that swim;
Fresh-firecoal chestnut-falls; finches' wings;
Landscape plotted and pieced--fold, fallow, and plough;
And áll trádes, their gear and tackle and trim.

All things counter, original, spare, strange;
Whatever is fickle, freckled (who knows how?)
With swift, slow; sweet, sour; adazzle, dim;
He fathers-forth whose beauty is past change:
Praise him.


Hopkins, Gerard Manley. 1918. Poems.
