PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Dancing in the summer heat!: Dancing in the summer heat! An amazing feat. Much later on, poor tired feet. Thanks for sharing.

My first reading was to begin: My first reading was to begin to appreciate the poem.  I say this in the way that Eliot meant it.  An anecdote about him says that when he was told, by an acquaintance, that she had just finished reading Dante's Divine Comedy, and that she had completed reading all three cantos although that was her first time.  He told her she had not completed it; she had only begun reading it.  This poem contains all the virtues of your entire collection; which, I have learned to understand, cannot be fully appreciated on a first reading (no matter how intense that reading may be.  To be fully appreciated, your Poetry must be read; then studied; then re-read after such study . . . and these are still only preliminary steps.  I think the fullest knowledge of your Poems will come to us in Heaven; another blessing to be anticipated. My reading today was for a distinct purpose, not just a casual reading, and certainly not a reading just to pass the time.  I wanted to enjoy---and to savor---the beauty of some of my favorite phrases in this poem.   I cannot say enough about your poetry, and I hope my comments never become tiresome to you.  But, like an astronomer devout to his observation of the stars, I am devout to your Poems; and that should not be kept silent.

This should be the official: This should be the official pledge of mothers everywhere. The world would certainly be a better place if every child was fortunate enough to experience the unconditional love you so sincerely expressed. How true that this love is only "seemingly self sacraficial". It is perhaps the fullfilling experience in our human travels.   This title is priceless: what better way to describe this dream?    Graceful and inspiring work. 

Thank you for the comment,: Thank you for the comment, and the good wish for my health, although, health-wise, things are a little precarious right now; and, as I said in my reply to Patricia, some unexpected difficulties have arisen.  But, despite that, I am still well enough to continue to admire your Symbolist Poetry, and to applaud the magnificent work you have posted at postpoems.

A very wise move: linking: A very wise move: linking contentment with stillness. Elegant guidance. Always a pleasure to read you. 

discontent: I feel for the world as I sit sill in content

You have to take credit for: You have to take credit for being an inspiration, a motivator and a glowing example. We can learn much from you as well!   My incalculable gratitude and continuing prayers.
