“And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer.” —F. Scott Fitzgerald

“Oh do you have time / to linger / for just a little while / out of your busy / and very important day.” —Mary Oliver
Not me basking in academic validation like a cat in the sun. My feedback for my term paper was a treat after two dubious finals. One more exam to write, then I really need to start packing…
“as they strive / melodiously / not for your sake / and not for mine / and not for the sake of winning / but for sheer delight and gratitude.” —Mary Oliver
