So of course this post hit home for me on so many levels! The verse you quoted is actually my favorite, but may I just say, <br /><br />"Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing, <br />Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortals ever dared to dream before;<br />But the silence was unbroken, and the stillness gave no token,<br />And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, "Lenore!"<br />This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, "Lenore!"-<br />Merely this, and nothing more.<br /><br />Back at you! And I hope you made another pie! Sometimes I love and adore watching the birds outside my window, but the crows and the ravens really do creep me out!Leah Rubinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13748324754530747231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4569955034831489569.post-2884543403067220812009-10-31T21:14:18.896-04:002009-10-31T21:14:18.896-04:00I really LOVE reading your blogs.
