I enjoyed these poems and Sara Teasdale‘s style. The introduction mentioned that it was a bit old-fashioned for the early 20th century, but I quite enjoyed it for whatever time it was in. Definitely an overall melancholy tone and a lot of repeated themes. She really loved the month of April, the star Arcturus, and Sappho. I liked 48 of the poems. Pictured is one of them.

Finished my current slow poetry read this morning. Spending the last 5 weeks with these 200 pages was like coming home. This made me cry, but it‘s is one of those volumes I‘ll be rereading all my life. #MarvellousMarch @Andrew65

With a windchill of -10 🥶💨 I‘m resolved to ignore everything I ought to be doing and stay in my blanket nest. I easily have enough books here to last until spring, so the necessities are covered.

I can‘t say I usually get too excited about bookplates, but I just noticed the one in my current used volume of poetry for the first time and it‘s so epic! It‘s really giving me a sense of the personality of the previous owner.

The Flight
by Sarah Teasdale

@LazyDays

This poem has some of the most beautiful lines I‘ve ever read. “You are my deepening skies, / Give me your stars to hold.” Thought it was appropriate for the #peace prompt. #quotsy #quotsydec17

"I may not sorrow for I saw the light,
Tho' I shall walk in valley ways for long,
I still shall hear the echo of the song,-
My life is measured by its one great height.
Joy holds more grace than pain can ever give,
And by my glimpse of joy my soul shall live.
