Touching, what thoughts   Leave a comment

Tell my ma to take the first instruction,

By Frank from Cork: You’ll be educated

As teaching scholars’ quotes reach reduction

Through Opera Chamber Music created.

Arthur Nussbaum provides the illusion

That issues as diverse as goldfinches

Confront the Natural Heir of Tucson.

Understandably, Joyce’s atmosphere clinches

What over the years has become standard:

When you read the thoughts of Bolly the Moon,

Please read it alous, like an old Grand Bard;

Say to Gus, thank you, and with Molly Bloom

Share your insights and your love– your passion–

For Joyce notebooks last longer than fasion.

Too deep   Leave a comment

“Thanks to the human heart by which we live,

Thanks to its tenderness, its joys, and fears,

To me the meanest flower that blows can give

Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears.”

-from Intimations…. by William W.

Mean (not meanest) flower

Thoughts of Wordsworth’s words came to mean, upon seeing this “mean” flower, growing near the cracked sidewalk of a city.
