Featured Poetry- From Walden Pond
Our first feature, based off of Walden Pond, is entitled "The Sun" and is written by Emily York
Standing in a calm slight haze,
Makes the opposite indistinct
I have seen you invert your head
Against the distant stratum of the atmosphere
As it were by mistake.
As you look you are obliged to employ both your hands to defend your eyes as well as the true sun
For they are equally bright
And if between the two is as smooth as glass in the sun it may be that the distance is like molten glass, pure and beautiful.
You often, a dark water, we are separated-this simple fact is advertised for we are two diverting lines
The warmth of the sun was fully appreciated
The thrills of pain are the phenomena of love!
A mirror which no stone can crack, whose gliding nature continually repairs;
No storms, no dust, can dim its purity.
The sky was still completely overcast, and it no longer reflected the bright tints of colors produced by me.
When it was dark he cut off the ends
It was very clumsy, but lasted a great year before it sank.
But when you went,
I fell,
Then I disappeared
But since we left those great years, she is silent, henceforth.
How can you expect the birds to sing?
Our second feature, also based off of Walden Pond, is entitled "You" and is written by Torben Massat
I have seen
You, like
A distant opposite
You, look
Pure and beautiful.
You, separated
From the rest
As if by wonderful
Elaborateness
You, ceaselessly can
ripple and calm
one.
Beauty, welling up,
Pulsing
How beautiful,
The phenomena of you!
Nothing so fair,
So pure, as the
impurity presented.
As I was looking,
I saw a faint glimmer,
As if spring
Surrounded me.
I have spent many
An hour dreaming,
To see the most,
attractive and valued
hours spent with you
