So, how do we ENDAT Krollglish...???? We DON’T!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Duh!!!) Movie Night is May 9th!! OK, well, think back to the beginning of the year… …FORM and CONTENT…
The oldest literary form of forms is the circle, the cycle… Because it’s comforting, right? And true… For every end, there is a beginning: For every death, there is a birth… For every darkness, there is a dawn… For every winter, a spring…

Huh…? Translation, please…? • When April comes, with all of her sweet showers, and bathes the flowers with rain… • And the spring breezes blow, with their sweet breath, into all the tender shoots and buds… • And the birds are singing and the sun is shining… • People want to go on PILGRIMAGES….
