They please me not—these solemn songs That hint of sermons covered up.
‘T is true the world should heed its wrongs,
But in a poem let me sup,
Not simples brewed to cure or ease
Humanity’s confessed disease,
But the spirit-wine of a single line,
Or a dew-drop in a honey cup!
Paul Laurence Dunbar |

This reminds me of this article in The Onion: http://www.theonion.com/articles/distressed-nation-turns-to-poet-laureate-for-solac,26109/?utm_source=recentnews
I thought of you during church today and prayed for you. We had a sermon on Joseph and his brothers. The sermon didn’t remind me of you though, it was just my mind wandering. Hope your week is good.
