“Every piece of poetry has a music of its own which it is humming to itself as it goes along. Verses sing themselves into people’s heads and stay there for ever, so even when they are alone and unhappy they have this music with them for company.” ~A.A.Milne #NationalLiteracyDay

Do not let the news cycle overwhelm you with cynicism & despair. Spend time in lush prose, luxuriate in the language of poetry, listen to a symphony or lose yourself in a great film or work of art. Beauty will fill your spirit & give you voice to rage against the darkness.
