The situation you describe is really beyond comment for anyone who has not experienced it. So, I won't, except to say all the best to you and your wife. Thanks for the great quote.

A group called The Divine Comedy set Wordsworth's "Lucy Gray" to music, and it is stunning. Here's a video of the album version of the song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4OvQlTwsHs and a live version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWyhe9ar18A Thanks for this reminder, Esther.

Sharing my love of poetry is one way." I think of favorite poets who did not have physical children: Whitman, Dickinson, Wordsworth, Keats...on and on. I bless their names and work, with a stunned and grateful heart. “But I have not lost the chance to influence my world for the better. Sharing my love of poetry is one way.”

Wilson Thu, 13 Aug 2009 07:38:00 +0000 http://www.robertpeake.com/?p=478#comment-1753 I have spent the better part of this evening perusing blogs and have read a number of really good posts, but none so touching as this one. The quote, which meant one interesting, if somewhat forgettable meaning (as all quotes usually go for me) becomes profound after having read the rest of the blog. You have my best wishes.

Thank you for sharing this.
