It Can Be Done, Poems of Inspiration (171 of 237) (1)
on DailyLit: It Can Be Done, Poems of Inspiration (0) permalinkLIFE, NOT DEATH Sometimes life is so unsatisfying that we think we should like to be rid of it. But we really are not longing for death; we are longing for more life. Whatever crazy sorrow saith, No life that breathes with human breath Has ever truly longed for death. 'Tis life, whereof our nerves are scant, Oh life, not death, for which we pant; More life, and fuller, that I want. _Alfred Tennyson_.SPONSORED LINKSBuy ...Shared by Blackshirt (4)Contribute comment

Once that hunter, absent minded, sat upon ...Shared by Blackshirt (4)Contribute comment

Voices Of The Night : A Psalm Of Life (1)
on Poem of the Day (0) permalinkTell me not, in mournful numbers, Life is but an empty dream! — For the soul is dead that slumbers, And things are not what they seem. Life is real! Life is earnest! And the grave is not its goal; Dust thou art, to dust returnest, Was not spoken of the soul. Not enjoyment, and not sorrow, Is our destined end or way; But to act, that each to-morrow Find us farther than to-day. Art ...Shared by Blackshirt (4)Contribute comment

Song (1)
on Poem of the Day (0) permalinkWhen I am dead, my dearest, Sing no sad songs for me; Plant thou no roses at my head, Nor shady cypress tree: Be the green grass above me With showers and dewdrops wet; And if thou wilt, remember, And if thou wilt, forget. I shall not see the shadows, I shall not feel the rain; I shall not hear the nightingale Sing on, as if in pain; And dreaming through the twilight That doth ...Shared by Blackshirt (4)Contribute comment

Cradle Song (1)
on Poem of the Day (0) permalinkFrom groves of spice, O’er fields of rice, Athwart the lotus-stream, I bring for you, Aglint with dew, A little lovely dream. Sweet, shut your eyes, The wild fire-flies Dance through the fairy neem; From the poppy-bole For you I stole A little lovely dream. Dear eyes, good night, In golden light The stars around you gleam; On you I Press With soft caress A little lovely dream. - Sarojini NaiduShared by Blackshirt (4)Contribute comment

Hope is the Thing with Feathers (1)
on Poem of the Day (0) permalink“Hope” is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul And sings the tune without the words And never stops at all, And sweetest in the gale is heard; And sore must be the storm That could abash the little bird That kept so many warm. I’ve heard it in the chillest land And on the strangest sea, Yet never, in extremity, It asked a crumb of me. By: Emily Dickinson - Emily DickinsonShared by Blackshirt (4)Contribute comment

Overstating Our Fears (2)
on washingtonpost.com - Op-Ed Columns (5) permalinkSen. John McCain has repeatedly characterized the threat of "radical Islamic extremism" as "the absolute gravest threat . . . that we're in against." Before we simply accept this, we need to examine the nature of the terrorist threat facing our country. If we do so, we will see how we have allowed the specter of that threat to distort our lives and take our treasure.Shared by Blackshirt (4)Contribute comment
