Re: The Last Two Letters

A new day is dawning:

Good Morning Starshine

The Earth says "Hello"

You twinkle above us

We twinkle below.

(Lyrics from Good Morning Starshine form the musical Hair)

Signature

Ravening clouds shall not long be victorious, They shall not long possess the sky, they devour the stars only in apparition, Jupiter shall emerge, be patient, watch again another night, the Pleiades shall emerge, They are immortal, all those stars both silvery and golden shall shine out again, The great stars and the little ones shall shine out again, they endure, The vast immortal suns and the long-enduring pensive moons shall again shine. (Walt Whitman)

Re: The Last Two Letters

Orbed is the Moon and bright,

And the stars they glisten,

seeming with bright eyes to listen,

For what listen they?
