We've got to pull out some frames, and check up on our bees as well.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04779866178920345344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2018402196949735412.post-3309855865431550322009-07-09T10:19:07.902-07:002009-07-09T10:19:07.902-07:00Ribbit, you slay me.

Maybe Denise will post soon and save me? Funny, because I don't generally <i>like</i> poetry. . . <br /><br />Alice, welcome. I'm just starting to discover his poetry. Maybe after I'm done with the hardscape makeover I'll sit out in the garden and read his work!<br /><br />Michelle, I'll happily provide whatever catches my eye. I don't think poetry is best read -- it's better if you can hear someone read it aloud, which is why I like Writer's Almanac so much.<br /><br />Now I really have to go do some work!Stefaneenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08422241601075022500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2018402196949735412.post-23527954753477048362009-07-09T08:10:05.955-07:002009-07-09T08:10:05.955-07:00What a wonderful poem.

They carry a dual personae because where there are strong willed, they are physically weak. Keats mentions them in "To Autum" when Autum has fooled the bees into believing it's still summer and I think Shelley used them somewhere in "Prometheus Unbound," but I can't remember where or if I'm just making it up.<br /><br />Now that I've lost you your entire readership, I'll stop. :)Ribbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01460673212389110633noreply@blogger.com
