Then in a burst of blinding weather.
The lightnings flung
Long, passionate arms about the earth that clung
To her wild lover.
Suddenly above her
The whole sky tumbled in a sweeping blaze,
Gathering earth in one tight-locked embrace,
Drenching her in a flood of silver flame.
Hot thunders came;
And still the storm kept plunging, seeking ever
The furthest cranny, till the faraway
Streams felt each penetrating quiver
And the most hidden river
Rose and became released....
~Louis Untermeyer, “Summer Storm”
Today
could've
been
the
day
that you blow out your
candles
make
a wish
as you
close
your
eyes.
Today
could've been the day
Everybody
was
laughin'
instead I just sit here and
cry.
Who
would
you
be?
What
would
you
look
like
When you looked at
me for the very first time?
Today
could've
been
the
next
day
of the rest of
your life
As Aristotle said, 'Excellence is a habit.' I would say furthermore
that excellence is made constant through the feeling that comes
right after one has completed a work which he himself finds
undeniably awe-inspiring. He only wants to relax until he's ready
to renew such a feeling all over again because to him, all else has
become absolutely trivial.
