Shameless self-promotion

Poems on three candles

Enough said.

And today's Dickinsonian oracle, the answer to all of your problems, poetic and otherwise:

Those who have been in the Grave the longest -
Those who begin Today -
Equally perish from our Practice -
Death is the other way -

Foot of the Bold did least attempt it -
It is the White Exploit -
Once to achieve, annuls the power
Once to communicate -
(E. Dickinson, 938)
