Poetry from the internet..


I was just using my favorite boredom killer "StumbleUpon".. and up came this painting.
It immediately spoke to me.. and I am so not one that would ever say that art speaks to them.. It is titled.. Never Morning Wore to Evening but some Heart did Break. The title comes from this poem (which is very long). "In Memoriam A.H.H." by Alfred Lord Tennyson
The verse that it is from begins..

One writes, that ‘Other friends remain,’
That ‘Loss is common to the race’–
And common is the commonplace,
And vacant chaff well meant for grain.


That loss is common would not make
My own less bitter, rather more:
Too common! Never morning wore
To evening, but some heart did break.


Hits a little close to home..
