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

Quizzling
Here it is - another quiz! Exams are this week, so I'll be doing this professionally. Some interesting questions on the cards I drew from the Know-it-All edition of Trivial Pursuit. I missed Michael on the last one and hope he'll be here for this. I also hoped we'd find out if he knew about the blue feathers. I can't believe no one commented on that amazing piece of information. Thanks to all of you who answer the quizzes and make comments. It's all about my entertainment, you know. :-)
1. People and Places - What famous sister said, "I have never hated a man enough to give back the diamonds"? (hmm, I never attracted one who gave me any)
2. P&P - What vanishing American sect is credited with inventing the circular saw and the clothespin?
3. Arts & Entertainment - Whose Sonnets from the Portuguese contains the romantic sonnet, "How Do I Love Thee?"
4. A&E - What was the name of Citizen Kane's mansion?
5. History - Which of the original thirteen colonies was the only one not founded in the 17th century?
6. History - What fraternity, established at William and Mary Smith College in 1776, is considered the first American fraternity? (I didn't know William and Mary College had a last name)
7. Science & Nature - Who was the only scientist to win Nobel Prizes in both physics and chemistry?
8. S&N - What may appear elevated when tested during a visit to a doctor's office? (besides the bill?)

10. S&L - What pitcher was sent down to the minors a month after he was acquired by the New York Yankees for twelve million dollars?
