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

Interesting
While reading articles about Arthur Miller's recent death, I noticed that his daughter Rebecca is married to Daniel Day-Lewis, which I didn't know. They met while D-L was at Miller's house doing preliminary work on The Crucible, which we recently studied, and Death of a Salesman is on the summer reading list assigned for my honors English III class.
Fortunately, while I was looking up things on the movie internet database, I noticed that the BAFTA awards will be shown tonight on BBC-America. I would have missed it and really do like that awards show. First of all, Stephen Fry is the host which makes it hilarious. I'm looking forward to watching it. So British! (which is always a good thing)
I just tuned into BBC-A and discovered the BAFTA awards are on now (time difference and all). Here is a list of the winners.
