I like some poetry...I'm not a huge fan and more often than not, I'm just left confused. But, I love to learn, therefore I read!

If you'd like to see her poem, go here:<br />http://knockingfrominside.blogspot.com/2010/07/evocative-rather-than-descriptive.html<br /><br />Although there were only two legs left standing for Shelley's traveller. I can certainly get a sense of awe when I look upon the works of Rameses in Egypt!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00861397533660827678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8355157437969935487.post-14788786312759356282010-07-25T11:04:43.546-05:002010-07-25T11:04:43.546-05:00Beautiful, beautiful!

This line always sends a chill prickle up and down my arms.<br /><br />I wonder sometimes too, hundreds of years from now, what shape our civilization will take, what will endure and what will be reduced to broken statues in the sand.HKatzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17653570160517335758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8355157437969935487.post-74457383623923175752010-07-25T08:54:03.569-05:002010-07-25T08:54:03.569-05:00Poetic irony....love it:)

I often think of it when politicians are blathering on about all their great deeds. I also find a strange comfort in two things: nature's ability to rebound and return the world to its natural state, and the endurance of the artist's message, always and forever revealing the hubris of those who believe their might is eternal. <br /><br />I love your Sunday morning posts! Thank you, my friend! xoxo GigiGigi Thibodeauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15326335927273800932noreply@blogger.com
