Poem for Sun and Heavy Falls Snow - Little Reviews

On Approaching the Staub-Bach, Lauterbrunnen By William Wordsworth Uttered by whom, or how inspired-designed For what strange service, does this concert reach Our ears, and approach the dwellings of mankind! 'Mid fields familiarized to human speech?- No Mermaid's warble-to still the wind Driving some vessel toward a dangerous beach- More thrilling melodies;

Witch answering Witch, To chant a love-spell, never intertwined Notes shrill and furious with art more musical: Alas! that from the lips of abject Want 10 Or Idling in tatters mendicant The line should flow-free Fancy to enthral, And with sorrow and useless pity haunt This bold, this bright, this sky-born, WATERFALL! - For the 4th day in a row, we had snow in the air, though thankfully it didn't last very tenacious and didn't stick since the temperature was above freezing by the sentence it fell. Paul took Daniel to robotics early, and the remainder of us had a smooth morning reading and composition and looking at camera stuff. It was really pretty out with snow still sticking to most of the trees, so after luncheon we decided to learn a pass at Great Falls, which was almost deserted except for people with cameras, a span of couples, and (as we were leaving) some crazy people with kayaks. The urine was both surprisingly low and surprisingly green in the river given the number of snow we got earlier in the week, but there was still much of coke on the rocks and the trees and the partially-frozen canal. We saw just one heron, flying overhead, but there were ducks and squirrels near the towpath and on the island. We had pancakes, (fake) sausage, (fake) bacon, and eggs for dinner after Daniel got home, then we watched Frida, which I swear has been on my name for much longer than my recent Geoffrey Rush obsession but it was on cable which made it the obvious choice in between local and national coverage of the office in Egypt. I didn't know it - I see that Julie Taymor's style sometimes overshadows the emotional capacity of her material, which was the case here when she tried to depict how Kahlo found her artistic inspiration, though at least she made some movement as opposed to the recent terribly-scripted for-TV Georgia O'Keeffe movie - but the performances are all excellent, it's really interesting visually, and Salma Hayek is sublime. Plus it made me really need to go to Mexico, especially right now when everything is so clean and gray outside.
