Hope
It is not so much the promise of spring
As it is the anticipation, the idea, the relief
The brief forgetting, the flowering, the swing
Of emotions toward forgiving, toward
Renewed expectations of betterment; to sing
To dance, to capture a chance, a moment of love
Of leisure, to imagine as if in a seizure or fit
Of joy you could again run and chase the sun
Because the promise is only that, an out held hand
An opportunity, an excuse to finish, to be done
With the silent cold and its withering hold, with
The darkening mold that collects at its corners
In the basement of a season, and with good reason
You smile, and welcome the touch, the lifting
The coming out, that what it is all..all about
Is hope.

..webfeet. I don’t know, I’ve always liked april. March, more so for me always seemed more aggravating. But having read ‘the actual state of things’, if that all happened in april…I can see your point. I won’t even start to examine in a Freudian way the implications of the interrupted dream. But aside from identifying with the poem..there was good humor in its unfolding. Actually…it’s the kind of humor that is so good long after the fact. Course…there’s the gritty underlay as well 5445.

5297. ElliottRW, I was reading The Good Nanny by Benjamin Cheever tonite.
Each last sentence is title of the chapter, BTW, in that book.
For instance, the title of the chapter is "Thank God you didn't go into medicine".
And that would be about the last line in that cahpter.
An excerpt from :
"So much depends upon a red necktie," Stuart said, "covered with wheelbarrows" He went into the bathroom, shut the door, switched on a light.
The comment was interesting because earlier in the book, there was a discourse about one mixing up what one had seen in TV, movies, print, as one own's experience. 5460. Ulgine Barrows - 5/12/2005 8:24:28 AM Hope you can all decipher that, since I can't edit.
Basically, some Cheever author stole a line, and I would never have known if it weren't for you swabs at the Mote.
I wouldn't condemn the whole book - it was good- but.
Reeked of plagarism, when I read that line after reading here. 5461. Ulgine Barrows - 5/12/2005 8:26:59 AM But I must be mixed up with TV, movies, print.
