Rah, rah, rah
Today's Dickinsonian oracle comes first off the block:
She dwelleth in the Ground -
Where Daffodils - abide -
Her Maker - Her Metropolis -
The Universe - Her Maid
To fetch Her Grace - and Hue -
And Fairness - and Renown -
The Firmament's - To pluck Her
And fetch Her Thee - be mine -
(E. Dickinson, 745)
Is this Dickinson's version of the Persephone myth?
Speaking of thunder (well, speaking of Persephone, which is speaking of Zeus, which is speaking of thunder), this metropolis was rocked by an awesome thunder (and rain and wind) storm last night, which blew out the power around 4am. Let's give three cheers for the person who invented the wind-up alarm clock. The magical people at the electric company restored power around 7:30am, by which time, due to the help of the wind-up alarm clock, my partner and I were well awake. Three cheers for the magical electric company people, too.
