    but because of the people who don't do anything about it." ~ Albert Einstein

    The Oven Bird

    There is a singer everyone has heard,
    Loud, a mid-summer and a mid-wood bird,
    Who makes the solid tree trunks sound again.
    He says that leaves are old and that for flowers

    Mid-summer is to spring as one to ten.
    He says the early petal-fall is past
    When pear and cherry bloom went down in showers
    On sunny days a moment overcast;

    And comes that other fall we name the fall.
    He says the highway dust is over all.
    The bird would cease and be as other birds
    But that he knows in singing not to sing.

    The question that he frames in all but words
    Is what to make of a diminished thing.

    By Robert Frost

    The Death of the Hired Man (By Robert Frost,1874–1963)

    "He hates to see a boy the fool of books.
    Poor Silas, so concerned for other folk,
    And nothing to look backward to with pride,
    And nothing to look forward to with hope,

    So now and never any different."

    Comment: In my view these italicized lines from this lengthy poem are among the very saddest ever written....

    "The basic tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words.
    If you can control the meaning of words, you can control the people who must use them.”
