What will become of us two thousand years hence? It's hard to know what to wish for our future selves...Mary Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09078793537148794310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-91636461349673530.post-56670839518088668512012-06-29T20:56:16.256-04:002012-06-29T20:56:16.256-04:00"Student of our sweet English tongue, / Read ..."Student of our sweet English tongue, / Read out my words at night, alone:/ I was a poet.

I am listening to the music as I write! It gives me shivers to think this poet has sent a greeting to us almost a century later."I send my soul through time and space<br />To greet you. You will understand."

Thanks for sharing, Tabatha - interesting I was pondering the early part of the 20th Century with HD for this week, too - and this young poet was pondering not a century but a millenium. <br /> <br />Driving to the store this morning, I was thinking that from space the bit of traffic I was in was nothing...

Love the music, too :).jamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07859083373087448194noreply@blogger.com
