“Yet we played last night as long ago.”
“Only in Sleep”
Only in sleep I see their faces,
Children I played with when I was a child,
Louise comes back with her brown hair braided,
Annie with ringlets warm and wild.
Only in sleep Time is forgotten–
What may have come to them, who can know?
Yet we played last night as long ago,
And the doll-house stood at the turn of the stair.
The years had not sharpened their smooth round faces,
I met their eyes and found them mild–
Do they, too, dream of me, I wonder,
And for them am I, too, a child?
― Sara Teasdale, The Collected Poems
The renovated Mary Washington College Amphitheatre looks fabulous.
I’m not really clear about when the renovation was completed. (Was it last summer?) But it looks absolutely gorgeous.
Check out the pictures here at the Glave & Holmes Architecture website.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
1916.
“I have never found that sleep was a rest.”
“Sleep occupies a third of our life. It is the consolation to the woes of our days or the woe of their pleasures; but I have never found that sleep was a rest. After a swoon of a few minutes a new life begins, freed from conditions of time and space, and doubtless like the life which awaits us after death. Who knows whether there does not exist a link between these two existences, and whether it is not possible for the soul now to bind them together?”
— Gerard de Nerval, Aurélia
