It was a lovely sunrise today. Ever so slightly cold and windy up there 😂 but worth it. Portrait format so might need a click.

There are claims that poetry doesn’t matter in crisis.
Do these claims matter in crisis?
As for poetry: a friend in Kiev bombshelter is translating Komunyakaa:
“We weren’t there. The river ran
through our bones. Small animals took refuge
against our bodies; we held our breath”

Folly is an endless maze;
Tangled roots perplex her ways;
How many have fallen there!
They stumble all night over bones of the dead;
And feel—they know not what but care;
And wish to lead others, when they should be led.

"I can feel the cold earth upon me – the daisies growing over me – O for this quiet – it will be my first.”
—John Keats, who died 200 years ago #OTD in 1821
