Morning Work September 23, 2013 Poetry SCIENCE Broadway This is the quiet hour; the theaters Have gathered in their crowds, and steadily The million lights blaze on for few to see, Robbing the sky of stars that should be hers. A woman waits with bag and shabby furs, A somber man drifts by, and only we Pass up the street unwearied, warm and free, For over us the olden magic stirs. Beneath the liquid splendor of the lights We live a little ere the charm is spent; This night is ours, of all the golden nights, The pavement an enchanted palace floor, And Youth the player on the viol, who sent A strain of music through and open door. ~Algernon Charles Swinburne A n s w e r MATH A n s w e r

Morning Work September 24, 2013 Poetry SCIENCE The Fairies (Excerpt) …Up the airy mountain Down the rushy glen, We daren’t go a-hunting, For fear of little men; Wee folk, good folk, Trooping all together: Green jacket, red cap, And white owl’s feather. Down along the rocky shore Some make their home, They live on crispy pancakes Of yellow tide-foam; Some in the reeds Of the black mountain-lake, With frogs for their watch-dogs, All night awake. ~William Allingham A n s w e r MATH A n s w e r

In summer quite the other way, I have to got to bed by day. I have to go to bed and see The birds still hopping on the tree, Or hear the grown-up people’s feet Still going past me in the street. And does it not seem hard to you, When all the ski is clear and blue, And I should like too much to play, To have to go to bed by day? ~Robert Louis Stevenson A n s w e r MATH A n s w e r

Poetry SCIENCE A Birthday Poem Just past dawn, the sun stands with its heavy red head in a black stanchion of trees, waiting for someone to come with his bucket for the foamy white light and then a long day in the pasture. I too spend my days grazing, feasting on every green moment till darkness calls, and with the others I walk away into the night, swinging the little tin bell of my name. ~ Ted Kooser A n s w e r MATH A n s w e r
