That's what's so wonderful about RLS' verses. They're
easy to remember and one thinks of them throughout
one's life as one sees things like rain and shadows.

I love the sound of some poetry, too. I love the first
part of the first verse of Eliot's Burnt Norton,
though I just now read (online) the whole verse and it
is comprehensible. smile. The second verse requires a
bit more thought than I'm prepared to give it at the
moment, but I don have a book of his poetry.

Isn't it nice that so many of these poems are
available online. I wonder how come, since I should
think the copyrights are still valid.
