Although not entirely sad, the loss of such a great talent to war is extremely sad.<BR/><BR/>I love the linking of Thomas and Frost, too. Well done.

And I'm pleased to have introduced you to a new poem. Thomas has long held place in my heart for his love of nature and books. He was a quiet conflicted man who wrote beautifully.Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15888298679182871669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14162585.post-81611106752494723402008-03-07T12:10:00.000+00:002008-03-07T12:10:00.000+00:00WOW.
