"I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom. I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients." Gustave Courbet

Stars.


On remembering one "fireflyer" high in the tree, whose lamp stayed lit for nearly ten seconds ...

Fireflies in the Garden

Here come real stars to fill the upper skies,
And here on earth come emulating flies,
That though they never equal stars in size,
(And they were never really stars at heart)
Achieve at times a very star-like start.
Only, of course, they can't sustain the part.


- Robert Frost

Thanks Drew and Zuzu, that was a blast.
