Still, it's embarrassing this happiness
Who's satisfied simply with what's good for us,
When has the ordinary ever been news?

I didn't notice
how still you'd become until
we had done it
(for two measures?
four?)—achieved flight,
that swift and serene
magnificence,
before the earth
remembered who we were
and brought us down.
Rita Dove
Quote of the day
Women and men in the crowd meet and mingle, Yet with itself every soul standeth single.
