I just
found this poem the other
night, and
i decided that i love
it, so i'm
typing it in orange! :)
My Star
By Robert Browning
All that I know
Of a certain star
Is, it can throw
(Like the angled spar)
Now a dart of red,
Now a dart of blue;
Till my friends have said
They would fain see, too
My star that dartles the red and the blue;
Then it stops like a bird; like a flower, hangs furled;
They must solace themselves with the Saturn above it.
What matter to me if their star is a world?
Mine has opened its soul to me; therefore I love it.
