Well, in all my rushing, I forgot to even mention the holiday!  I apologize for the oversight:  Happy Keats’s Birthday everyone.

When through the old oak forest I am gone,
Let me not wander in a barren dream,
But when I am consumed in the fire,
Give me new Phoenix wings to fly at my desire.

(from “On Sitting Down to Read King Lear Once Again”.  Thanks to Kyrie for the reminder.)
