wolfinthewoodMatthew Arnold anticipates Twitter:
And we are here as on a darkling plain
Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight,
Where ignorant armies clash by night.
Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
from ‘Dover Beach’ (1851)

Date: July 8th, 2017 12:16 am (UTC)Let in thy voice a whisper often come,
To chase fatigue and fear:
Why faintest thou? I wander’d till I died.
Roam on! the light we sought is shining still.
Dost thou ask proof? Our Tree yet crowns the hill,
Our Scholar travels yet the loved hillside.
-Thyrsis (1861)
