A Dash of Style: The Art and Mastery of of Punctuation, which is so awesome I wish I could recall who recommended it so I could thank them, showed up today. One of the examples contains part of this poem.

Sonnets from the Portuguese 22: When our Two Souls By Elizabeth Barrett Browning


When our two souls stand up erect and strong,
Face to face, silent, drawing nigh and nigher,
Until the lengthening wings break into fire
At either curvéd point, — what bitter wrong
Can the earth do to us, that we should not long
Be here contented ? Think. In mounting higher,
The angels would press on us, and aspire
To drop some golden orb of perfect song
Into our deep, dear silence. Let us stay
Rather on earth, Belovèd, — where the unfit
Contrarious moods of men recoil away
And isolate pure spirits, and permit
A place to stand and love in for a day,
With darkness and the death-hour rounding it.

Small Change arrived today, with this song, which is one of my favorites.

Tom Traubert's Blues (Tom Waits 1976) )

dragonyphoenix: (Evil!Binky)
Because I had a crappy day at work... (and I know for most people pizza is a normal day food but I have high blood pressure and try to avoid that much sodium, but it wasy yummy!)

"Kill The Poor" by the Dead Kennedys
