I see how it works as a wonderful parody but it also works exactly as the words suggest and mean in your own context. [How's that go about something being personal that departs the universal truth better than just stating the truth?] I want to do a line by line and really get intoSunflower Ranchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11527237680371743975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345574508442236093.post-64253199789799911972009-06-30T11:12:45.370-04:002009-06-30T11:12:45.370-04:00I wish I had the ability with words that you have....I wish I had the ability with words that you have.<br /><br />http://www.StarlightBlog.commary.anne.gruen@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16839396134411360643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345574508442236093.post-12701560354322683642009-06-30T11:07:27.685-04:002009-06-30T11:07:27.685-04:00LLnL~~Hey you!

Auden's, "September 1, 1939," was written at a very dark time in our nations history. I wanted to speak a bit about "celebrity culture," and bring some light to this.
