Set free at last,
The short pang past,
In sleep, in death, in dreamless sleep locked fast.
~ Christina Rossetti, “Autumn”

The prayers, the mute appeal to her hard sire,
Her youth, her virgin beauty,
Naught heeded they, the chiefs for war on fire.

Sacrifice of Iphigenia - Pompeii

At a shrine, a lamp lit,
and a countenance of peace..
a blessing that waits,in the deity
for a worshiper at dawn.
Extinguished to soot
the stoned ceiling to contain heavens
for ages it has writ of light,
selflessly in the night,without a memory,
when God was alone ..

Sappho’s words are still being dug up out of the garbage pits her scrolls were thrown into.
I keep reading posts saying that there is no market in books for female voices over 40
Not only is this baffling (women over 40 make up a huge readership) but surely it’s another example of women being made invisible after a certain age. We see it in film and TV and now in books
Why are we letting this happen?

… looking down on thee from the starry heavens, the orb that was born after the old Arcadians will lose control of her white-shining car. And lately she blushed fiery red, though no staining cloud obscured her bright face
– Seneca

Kitten Panic
So my son goes to bed crying because Lulu was "missing" for 2 hours. I was convinced she found a hiding spot but they begged me to try to find her. So here I am going around the house, opening every drawer, and even going outside and asking the neighbors. (Missing my football game.)
I gave up at 10:10 pm and told my wife I think she's gone.
Literally right then this little booger just casually walks up to us.

When I have pluck’d the rose,
I cannot give it vital growth again.
It must needs wither: I’ll smell it on the tree.
Ah balmy breath, that dost almost persuade
Justice to break her sword! One more, one more.
~ Othello

Hail Earendel, brightest of angels, above the middle-earth sent unto men, and true radiance of the sun, bright above the stars – thou of thy very self illuminest for every season!

The raven yelled from above, dark and greedy for carrion. The troop was on the march. The horn-bearers ran, the heralds called out, the horse trod the earth.
