Emily Dickinson

She wrote some dark stuff. People don't realize.

It was a show that a lot of people didn't watch because of the title, I think. And yet, actors begged their agents to get them guest spots. Also, the time of the show was unfortunate, especially during football season. It was planned from its inception to run for 7 years. The last episode was called "End." I thought it was one of the very best network shows ever, though I never watched it until the CNBC person made an appearance maybe 3 seasons in.

I've seen a lot of TV but I've missed a lot, too.

Not a thing. Just thought I'd continue the "theme" a little.

here is the deepest secret nobody knows

(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud

and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows

higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)

and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart

(may his tribe increase!)
Awoke one night from a deep dream of peace,
And saw, within the moonlight in his room,
Making it rich, and like a lily in bloom,
An angel writing in a book of gold:—
Exceeding peace had made

bold,
And to the presence in the room he said,
"What writest thou?"—The vision raised its head,
And with a look made of all sweet accord,
Answered, "The names of those who love the Lord."
"And is mine one?" said

spoke more low,
But cheerly still; and said, "I pray thee, then,
Write me as one that loves his fellow men."

The angel wrote, and vanished. The next night
It came again with a great wakening light,
And showed the names whom love of God had blest,
And lo!

Just want to see if anyone knows this. This is a poem I memorized in 9th grade that I still remember. It's from about 1834. Since the name of it is the man's name and is used throughout the poem, I spoiler'ed it. I've always loved it, thought it was a good way to go through life, and, God knows, we need good thoughts in our hearts.

My favorite Police song. I think I read the book because I wondered what "that book by Nabakov" was.

Don’t stand so close to that book by Nabokov
