Reading...

Lately, I have been reading a lot, and am finding less books for me to read. So, I am calling for books to read or poetry. I have been re-reading Tolkien and Austen, lately. Also, I have been reading Maynard. So... here is my plea, what should I read next? Last week I read a book in three days.

I will leave you with some poems, since I found them very sweet or compelling to the mind.

Autumn Morning

An hour ago I could not see for mist

These hills that now are rich in green and gold-

Under a sky of palest amethyst,

And in an air benignant, shrewd and cold.

Hardly perceptible is any change:

Rime on the grass, and stillness as of prayer

Each morning; and it strikes the heart as strange

To find some branches are already bare.

Each tingling dawn the winter draws more near,

While time stands breathless, rapt in loveliness,

Staying awhile the passage of the year

To gaze upon the woods' brocaded dress;

And I, when one leaf flutters from a branch,

Think it the signal for an avalanche.

Blind

I cannnot see;

Yet God gives shining dreams to me

Of rainbow and of golden-fruited tree.

How many go

Who, seeing yet sightless, never know

How blue the ocean is, how white the snow.

And I shall gaze

Enraptured on the Ray of Rays-

Brighter, perhaps, for all my darkened days.

Both by Maynard.
