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

NPR's List of 100 Best Characters in Fiction Since 1900 From Book magazine, March/April 2002
What do some of you think about this list? Hey, former Challenge English students who are now sophomores in college, check out #47! Ha!!
This is an interesting article about rescoring the PSATs. See? We English teachers really do sit around and discuss these topics. Scary, isn't it?
Yoko's at it again with Cut Piece. At least she isn't "singing."
