Would you mind if I shared with you a few of my favorite poems?
Don't mind if I do!
Come to me in my dreams, and then
By day I shall be well again!
For then the night will more than pay
The hopeless longing of the day.
-Matthew Arnold
Not By Bread Alone
if thou of fortune be bereft,
And thou dost find but two loaves left
To thee-sell one, and with the dole
Buy hyacinths to feed thy soul.
But not alone does beauty bide
Where bloom and tint and fragrance hide;
The minstrel's melody may feed
Perhaps a more insistent need.
But even beauty, howe'er blent
To ear and eye, fails to content;
Only the heart, with love afire,
Can satisfy the soul's desire.
-James Terry White
The Purple Cow
I never saw a Purple Cow;
I never Hope to See One;
But I can Tell you, Anyhow,
I'd rather See than Be One.
-Gelett Burgess
There are many poets and writers in the
world that write eloquently of the subjects of these pages other than Chief Seattle,
Henry Thoreau, and the other great people whose work or words are included
in these pages, a humble tribute to their thoughts, to Nature, and many other seemingly random subjects.
A few of these wrtiters can be found on the web below,
and countless others are available, as well as an infinite number
in the world of non-electronic literature.
