[nearly]Wordless Wednesday

"Let it be told to the future world . . . that in the depth of winter, when nothing but hope and virtue could survive . . . that the city and the country, alarmed at one common danger, came forth to meet it." Thomas Paine

. . .In today’s sharp sparkle, this winter air,

any thing can be made, any sentence begun.

On the brink, on the brim, on the cusp. . .

Elizabeth Alexander

It was amazing! And for all the flack I read about Elizabeth Alexander, I would say that her critics should hush -- that was an amazing poem.
