Emily Dickinson Comic
This one is silly, I know. But I have often thought of Emily Dickinson as some kind of other-worldy being. My sister gave me this amazing and beautiful book of her writings--as they were written, on envelopes in illegible, magical script--which has me more convinced of her peculiar genius.

Emily Dickinson Comic (1222)
The Riddle we can guess
We speedily despise--
Not anything is stale so long
As Yesterday's surprise---

Emily Dickinson Comic
Fame is a bee
Fame is a bee.
It has a song--
It has a sting--
Ah, too, it has a wing.

May Queen
The Pigby Anonymous
It was the first of May
A lovely warm spring day I was strolling down the street in drunken pride, But my knees were all a-flutter, And I landed in the gutter And a pig came up and lay down by my side. Yes, I lay there in the gutter Thinking thoughts I could not utter When a lady passing by did softly say 'You can tell a man who boozes By the company he chooses' — And the pig got up and slowly walked away. "The Pig" by Anonymous. Public domain. from Writers Almanac. On this day, when I was young, girls danced around the maypole at school. One year, my high school-aged sister was crowned the May Queen. I, 6 years younger, was so jealous. Some day, I thought, I will go to St. Ann's and be the queen of May, too. |
