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

Funny Link
This is from Brian's Live Journal which I've copied and pasted instead of merely paraphrasing:
It's from The Brunching Shuttlecocks, one of the funniest sites ever to grace the internet. Lore Sjöberg, the guy who ran the site is the author of The Book of Ratings and now runs the site of the same name.
Anyway, check out The Apathetic Online Journal Entry Generator. You'll be glad you did.
I checked out The Book of Ratings site and thought this paragraph was funny and might possibly generate comment from across the pond. I plan to use "Chunnelesque" whenever I can work it in. I worried about the Chunnel for a while when I thought they'd be driving through it in cars since the French drive on the right and the Brits on the wrong side of the road. They sorted it out, though.
From Lore Sjöberg:
I am told that the British version of crosswords are a different breed, although I've never been to Britishania to see for myself. If the rumors are true, the British have a masochistic streak of Chunnelesque proportions. Sample clue from Games magazine: "Tabloids covering premiere of Muppet Babies." The answer is "Pampers." Seriously. Isn't that insane? The answer is arrived at through a combination of anagrams, wordplay, and trafficking in the occult. It's wonderfully twisted.
