Poem in Your Pocket

OK, so this isn't exactly technology related, unless you count the fact that I doing it as a blog entry. But, occasionally you need a little culture in your life...

Today is the first national Poem in Your Pocket Day. Since most of you are not on campus and won't get the opportunity to see the display in the library, I thought I would at least share one of my favorite poems with you.

Hope

Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all,

And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.

I've heard it in the chillest land,
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me.

- Emily Dickinson

See, that wasn't so bad after all. Feel free to leave your favorite poem (or a link to it) as a comment.
