The Waking
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I feel my fate in what I cannot fear.
I learn by going where I cannot go.
We think by feeling. What is there to know?
I hear my being dance from ear to ear.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
Of those so close beside me, which are you?
God bless the Ground! I shall walk softly there,
And learn by going where I have to go.
Light takes the Tree, but who can tell us how?
The lowly worm climbs up a winding stair;
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
Great Nature has another thing to do
To you and me; so take the lively air,
And, lovely, learn by going where to go.
This shaking keeps me steady. I should know.
What falls away is always. And is near.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I learn by going where I have to go.
--Theodore Roethke

4. SN - What is a triangle with 3 unequal sides called? (math question)
What is a group (or pack) of foxes called? (or collective noun for you English majors)
5. SL - Who has walked more batters than anyone in baseball history?
6. WC - What British breed of dog is affectionately known as the "Bobtail"?
7. Movie - Action in this movie takes place in the Middle Ages. This film co-stars Christian Slater and Morgan Freeman. This movie included the popular music single "Everything I Do, I Do For You."
