Ancilla Domini Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 This is Just to Say by William Carlos Williams I have eaten the plums that were in the icebox and which you were probably saving for breakfast Forgive me they were delicious so sweet and so cold You're welcome Tableau at Twilight, by Ogden Nash I sit in the dusk. I am all alone. Enter a child and an ice-cream cone. A parent is easily beguiled By sight of this coniferous child. The friendly embers warmer gleam, The cone begins to drip ice cream. Cones are composed of many a vitamin. My lap is not the place to bitamin. Although my raiment is not chinchilla, I flinch to see it become vanilla. Coniferous child, when vanilla melts I’d rather it melted somewhere else. Exit child with remains of cone. I sit in the dusk. I am all alone, Muttering spells like an angry Druid, Alone, in the dusk, with the cleaning fluid. You're welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deus te Amat Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 (edited) That was most excellent. He Foretells His Passing by F. D. Reeve I can imagine, years from now, your coming back to this high, old, white house. "Home" I shouldn't say because we can't predict who'll live here with a different name. How tall the birches will be then. Will you look up from the road past the ash for light in the study windows upstairs and down? Go climb the black maple as first in new sneakers you walked forty feet in air and saw the life to come. Don't forget the cats. Because you grow away from a house, no matter how much you come back, if the people you love are elsewhere, or if the reason is, say, nostalgia, don't worry about small changes or lost names. Sit down for a minute under the tallest birch. Look up at the clouds reflected in the red barn's twisted window. Lean on the wall. Hear our voices as at first they shook the plaster, laughed, then burned in the dry air like a wooden house. I imagine you won't forget the cats.

Ancilla Domini Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 My voice teacher just gave me a new song - Gabriel Faurè's "En Prière." Now I'm preparing three songs: Caro Mio Ben, by Giuseppe Giordani The Moon and I, by William S. Gilbert and Arthur S. Sullivan En Prière, by Gabriel Faurè :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancilla Domini Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 What would you all say is your very favorite city/town in the world? Favorite country? If you were given a blank airplane ticket, where would you go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChristinaTherese Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Assisi, Corbie, Rome or Lisieux for a blank check for a trip. Favorite place would have to be the mountains somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ancilla Domini Posted March 4, 2014 Author Share Posted March 4, 2014 Borodin! I've liked everything of his that I've heard. Enjoy! I love Borodin! His second string quartet is, I believe, my very favorite string quartet ever. I'm looking forward to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristinaTherese Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Um. Yes, That is a lovely quartet. I need to listen to it again, sometime when I can just relax into the music. By the way, have you read/seen The Importance of Being Earnest? It's a good play, by Oscar Wilde. I might go see it with some friends in a couple of weeks.
