After Many A Summer
Sometimes it's good just to close the laptop and read a book. After Many A Summer is a great baseball book about the Dodgers and Giants history in NY and the teams move to the west coast.
I believe this is a book that most of us will enjoy and appreciate. |

From Tennyson's poem "Tithonus"
As the board's resident literature professor, I feel it's my duty to offer this thought for the day, which has a definite "Boys of Summer" quality, remembering past youth and meditating on the inevitability of aging and the experience of living beyond your moment:
The woods decay, the woods decay and fall, The vapours weep their burthen to the ground, Man comes and tills the field and lies beneath, And after many a summer dies the swan. Me only cruel immortality Consumes; I wither slowly in thine arms, Here at the quiet limit of the world, A white-hair’d shadow roaming like a dream The ever-silent spaces of the East, Far-folded mists, and gleaming halls of morn. The line "After many a summer dies the swan" was also used by Aldous Huxley (you remember, "Brave New World") as the title of one of his novels. [And now back to our regularly scheduled programming--] |
