The joy of reading something for the first time: Emily Dickinson

The joy of reading something for the first time: Emily Dickinson | A Bird, came down the Walk -
He did not know I saw -
He bit an Angle Worm in halves
And ate the fellow, raw, And then, he drank a Dew
From a convenient Grass -
And then hopped sidewise to the Wall
To let a Beetle pass -; He glanced with rapid eyes,
That hurried all abroad -
They looked like frightened Beads, I thought,
He stirred his Velvet Head. -; Like one in danger, Cautious,
I offered him a Crumb,
And he unrolled his feathers,
And rowed him softer Home -; Than Oars divide the Ocean,
Too silver for a seam,
Or Butterflies, off Banks of Noon,
Leap, plashless as they swim. | image tagged in black crows flying,poetry,birds,awareness | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

As good as the movie is, the book has some gems that didn't translate

As good as the movie is, the book has some gems that didn't translate | “And that's when she put her book down. And looked at me. And said it: "Life isn't fair, Bill. we tell our children that it is, but it's a terrible thing to do. It's not only a lie, it's a cruel lie. Life is not fair, and it never has been, and it's never going to be.”; --William Goldman, The Princess Bride | image tagged in big mike drag queen story hourmi,princess bride,quotes,truth | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

Μῆνιν ἄειδε, θεά, Πηληϊάδεω Ἀχιλῆος
οὐλομένην, ἣ μυρί᾽ Ἀχαιοῖς ἄλγε᾽ ἔθηκε,
πολλὰς δ᾽ ἰφθίμους ψυχὰς Ἄϊδι προΐαψεν
ἡρώων, αὐτοὺς δὲ ἑλώρια τεῦχε κύνεσσιν
οἰωνοῖσί τε πᾶσι. "Rage—Goddess, sing the rage of Peleus' son Achilles,
murderous, doomed, that cost the Achaeans countless losses,
hurling down to the House of Death so many sturdy souls,
great fighters' souls, but made their bodies carrion,
feasts for the dogs and birds." Homer's Iliad | image tagged in homer,ancient,greece,greek mythology,greek,poem | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

black crows flying

black crows flying | Life is short, though I keep this from my children.
Life is short, and I’ve shortened mine; in a thousand delicious, ill-advised ways,
a thousand deliciously ill-advised ways; I’ll keep from my children. The world is at least fifty percent terrible, and that’s a conservative
estimate, though I keep this from my children. --"Good Bones", by Maggie Smith (not the actress) | image tagged in black crows flying | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
