Day 24 (July 24) Proust: Swann’s Way, pp 250-255 Poetry: The Warning, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Short Story: One Hundred Years of Forgiveness, Clarice Lispector Essay (short): Mint Snowball, Naomi Shihab Nye #BradburyChallenge

On top is an image of pillars and ruins against a muted horizon and sky.
Text below:
There is a poor, blind Samson in this land,
Shorn of his strength and bound in bonds of steel,
Who may, in some grim revel, raise his hand,
And shake the pillars of this Commonweal,
Till the vast Temple of our liberties
A shapeless mass of wreck and rubbish lies.

From The Warning
by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Day 18 (July 18) Proust: Swann’s Way, pp 214-219 Poetry: The Tide Rises, the Tide Falls, Longfellow Short Story: The Burned Sinner and the Harmonious Angels, Lispector Essay (short): Suspended, Joy Harjo #BradburyChallenge #DownByTheSea #SummerNights

Image of seashore: sand, then small waves rise to a sky above the horizon. Over the image is the text of Henry Wadworth Longfellow's poem, The Tide Rises, the Tide Falls.

"The tide rises, the tide falls,
The twilight darkens, the curlew calls;
Along the sea-sands dark and brown
The traveller hastens toward the town,
And the tide rises, the tide falls.

Darkness settles on roofs and walls,
But the sea, the sea in darkness calls;
The little waves, with their soft, white hands,
Efface the footprints in the sands,
And the tide rises, the tide falls.

The morning breaks; the steeds in their stalls
Stamp and neigh, as the hostler calls;
The day returns, but nevermore
Returns the traveller to the shore,
And the tide rises, the tide falls"

What's wrong with #Amazon? My order history on my account has disappeared. Ditto my subscriptions. There doesn't seem to be any way to contact customer service.

Is it heaIthy to hoard beads? 2 pounds of Jesse James beads arrived in March, and I've been doing my best Gollum impression with all my precious things. I finally decided I need to make something to give away each week. This is for my friend Marcia to remind her we are all becoming. #beaders

Our museum raises chickens for free-range eggs and to provide a farm experience for folks in the city. Last year, rats kept getting in the hen house and eating the chicks. Can you help us build a safer chicken coop for this year's flock? bit.ly/3H95dUj
