lets get lyrical

June 12, 2010

Wow – sunshine! It’s all promise and hope right now. All warm air on my skin and blue sky every where. It’s lyrical stuff. Speaking of which, I keep meaning to post William Matthews short summary of all the subjects of lyric poetry. I love reading this when I’m feeling too serious about being serious.

  • I went out into the woods today and it made me feel, you know, sort of religious
  • We’re not getting any younger.
  • It sure is cold and lonely (a)  without you, honey, or (b) with you, honey.
  • Sadness seems but the other side of the coin of happiness, and vice versa, and in any case the coin is too soon spent on we know not what.
