opium isn't everything, you know

April is National Poetry Month! So to celebrate, here's one of my favorites:

( Samuel Taylor Coleridge: Kubla Kahn )

I won't be putting one up every day as some people are (admirable, though, & I plan to read them all). Still, once in a while, & maybe even some Donne, given that I'm reading rather a lot of his.

I really should get back to searching for history. Or writing that application. Doing something useful. But it's so beautiful & sunny out, & even though it's not really warm enough, I'd rather just lie on the grass & squint at the sky & dream or think or play.
