“Next morn a peasant from the mountainside,
Came midst the drizzle telling how last night,
Two mazed shepherds perished in the tide,
But further down the valley, left and right,
Down splintered rocks, crushed cottages, drear sight,
An endless appeasing round of solitude“

- The Escorial (Poem from the book)

A great article about gratitude.

Been thinking about this poem recently—one of my favorites. I had plans to sneak it into a class, but the occasion didn't present itself. #poetrymatters
