lilac season fast approaches...

#TSEliot #TheWasteLand #Poetry #ModernistPoetry #LiteraryQuote #AprilQuote #ClassicLiterature
The image shows a quote from T.S. Eliot's poem "The Waste Land" displayed in a minimalist black text on white background format. The quote reads: "April is the cruellest month, breeding lilacs out of the dead land, mixing memory and desire, stirring dull roots with spring rain." The author's name "T. S. Eliot" appears beneath the quote.

A favorite poem for this month...

www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/44728/...

#EdnaStVincentMillay #Poetry #Spring
An image of the poem "Spring" by Edna St. Vincent Millay. The poem begins with the question "To what purpose, April, do you return again?" and reflects on how spring's beauty cannot quiet existential questions. The poem contrasts the renewal of spring with darker meditations on mortality, ending with the line "April comes like an idiot, babbling and strewing flowers." Spring By Edna St. Vincent Millay To what purpose, April, do you return again? Beauty is not enough. You can no longer quiet me with the redness Of little leaves opening stickily. I know what I know. The sun is hot on my neck as I observe The spikes of the crocus. The smell of the earth is good. It is apparent that there is no death. But what does that signify? Not only under ground are the brains of men Eaten by maggots. Life in itself Is nothing, An empty cup, a flight of uncarpeted stairs. It is not enough that yearly, down this hill, April Comes like an idiot, babbling and strewing flowers.

it isn’t simple, but more than ever it feels important to imagine something better and make a practice of bringing it into being.

…things don’t always go perfectly, but I’ve come to view it in some ways as a lab for experimenting with how we might build structures with other people outside of the current ones that dominate our society.
