Going to be away from the internet until at least Sunday. Yay for the end of the semester! *can't wait for winter break*

And here are some neat poetry excerpts I found in one of my poetry books.

“Why should she give her bounty to the dead?
What is divinity if it can come
Only in silent shadows and in dreams?”
~ “Sunday Morning” by Wallace Stevens

“For she was the maker of the song she sang.”
~ “The Idea of Order at Key West” by Wallace Stevens

“The eyes are not here
There are no eyes here
In this valley of dying stars
In this hollow valley
This broken jaw of our lost kingdoms”
~ “The Hollow Men” by T.S. Eliot

“I had great beauty; ask thou not my name;
No one can be more wise than destiny.
Many drew swords and died. Where’er I came
I brought calamity.”
~ “Dreams of Fair Women” by Tennyson

“Vision for wayfarers on a long journey,
Where footing is perilous and
Vigilance is ambiguous company.”
~ “Relay” by Asher Torren

“A life I didn’t choose
chose me: even
my tools are the wrong ones
for what I have to do.”
~ “The Roofwalker” by Adrienne Rich

“Every beginning
is only a sequel, after all,
and the book of events
is always open halfway through.”
~ “Love At First Sight” by Wislawa Szymborska

“My left hand will live longer than my right. The rivers
of my palms tell me so.”
~ “Other Lives and Dimensions and Finally a Love Poem” by Bob Hicok
