They are the good Who live in the shades And tones of what they say Everyday Seems Sunday by some degree And it’s as if There were a library on every hill No one becomes too emotional There is a dignity that carries Through every waking hour Apart and remote From any actual hate or love A crowd of placid solitudes Whose light is defused Through milky clouds The air around them Is neither hot or cold They come . . . They go . . . They do not move |

"A crowd of placid solitudes Whose light is defused Through milky clouds The air around them Is neither hot or cold They come . . . They go . . . They do not move" a wonderful thought |

Excellent! This reminds me of what it feels like when I sit in meeting...with all the other friends searching their hearts for messages... there is something there that is very important.. It is hard to see light move, you have to feel it... enjoyed _______ ____ ><> |

Last time I talked to Big Ed, my boy was worried that perhaps I was overdoing some projects I've been up to lately, not saving any down-time for myself.... "You need to take a Sunday," he told me....it was Tuesday, but I knew what he meant. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

I got the feeling that you were talking about some church-goers who have a holier-than-thou attitude but are actually cold-hearted. The words "placid solitudes" felt like a play on "solid platitudes". I am probably barking up the wrong tree. - Owl |

Everyday Seems Sunday by some degree And it’s as if There were a library on every hill No one becomes too emotional There is a dignity that carries Through every waking hour One of the things I appreciate so much about your work is that I don't just read and enjoy... I read and remember. *S* This is definitely one I want my brain cells to keep... Excellent! |
