The Days of Wine and Roses
This week’s choice is necessarily short as I have been suffering from a hideous gastric upset all week and haven’t had the time to devote to a long poem. It is “Vitae Summa Brevis” by Ernest Dowson.
All the Difference
This week’s poem is “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost, a meditation on opportunities.
The Pearl of Great Price
This week’s choice is “The Bright Field” by R.S. Thomas. It reminds us that epiphanies come at random and not through seeking.
The Web of Years
This week’s choice is The Loom of Years, by Alfred Noyes.
