inspiration.

this is the poem that i think inspired my last (morbid) post. it was put to music and our choir sang it last year. i recommend hearing it somewhere because it is absolutely gorgeous.


"There Will Be Rest"

There will be rest, and sure stars shining
     Over the roof-tops crowned with snow,

A reign of rest, serene forgetting,
     The music of stillness holy and low.



I will make this world of my devising
     Out of a dream in my lonely mind.
I shall find the crystal of peace, – above me
     Stars I shall find.


-Sara Teasdale (1884-1933, when she committed suicide)
