The Rose in the Deeps of His Heart
All things uncomely and broken, all things worn-out and old, The cry of a child by the roadway, the creak of a lumbering cart, The heavy steps of the ploughman, splashing the wintry mould, Are wronging your image that blossoms a rose in the deeps of my heart. The wrong of unshapely things is a wrong too great to be told; I hunger to build them anew and sit on a green knoll apart, With the...

Farewell, Ungrateful Traitor!
Farewell, ungrateful traitor! Farewell, my perjur’d swain! Let never injur’d woman Believe a man again. The pleasure of possessing Surpasses all expressing, But ‘tis too short a blessing, And love too long a pain. ‘Tis easy to deceive us In pity of your pain, But when we love, you leave us To rail at you in vain. Before we have...

Loss and Love
I found out one of my sorority sisters mothers died this morning. This is one of those times where I wish someone would tell me exactly what to say to her. My heart is full of love for her and support, but often times in these situations the right words or what I think to be the right words escape me.
I think of how I could deal with losing my mom, when she was in France for ten days this past...
