dabbling...just dabbling...
And frogs in the pools singing at night,
And wild plum trees in tremulous white;
Robins will wear their feathery fire,
Whistling their whims on a low fence-wire;
And not one will know of the war, not one
Will care at last when it is done.
Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree,
If mankind perished utterly;
And Spring herself, when she woke at dawn
Would scarcely know that we were gone.
--Sara Teasdale
...rather round and introverted
''...silence sounds no worse than tears, after death has stopped the ears.''
--A.E. Housman
