Acquainted with the Night BY ROBERT FROST I have been one acquainted with the night.I have walked out in rain—and back in rain.I have outwalked the furthest city light. I have looked down the saddest city lane.I have passed by the watchman on his beatAnd dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain. I have stood still and stopped the sound of feetWhen far away an interrupted cryCame over houses from another street, But not to call me back or say good-bye;And further still at an unearthly height,One luminary clock against the sky Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right. I have been one acquainted with the night.

What amazing talent she has and she made history today. One to listen to in the years to come. Gorman made history on Wednesday by becoming the youngest person ever to write and recite a poem during an inauguration. The Los Angeles native described her background in the powerful composition as a “skinny Black girl, descended from slaves and raised by a single mother [who] can dream of becoming president, only to find herself reciting for one.”ET Online article by Desiree Murphy Cover image credit: CONVIRON ALTATIS

Imagine walking in an alleyway in Shanghai where people are passing, windows are full of residents going about everyday chores, and shops are busy when you hear a “Miaow”. You can’t locate its source anywhere until you finally look upwards to see a cat perched atop a fruit shop. Marcel Heijnen, a Dutch photographer, experienced this very thing last fall and took the stealthy kitty’s photo. It’s now included in his latest book Spot the Shop Cat that came out this month. Along with Australian illustrator Stephen Case, the duo tells the tale of Spot, a cartoon cat who lives in a dried goods shop. Hong Kong-based Australian illustrator Stephen Case (left) and Dutch photographer Marcel Heijnen show off their new book Spot the Shop Cat in Tsing Yi, Hong Kong.

https://youtu.be/Kq8zqhqjUIo Steven McRae as the Mad Hatter The Mad Hatter’s Tea Party is as wildly fun as you’ve imagined in this scene from the Royal Opera House in London. Steven McRae stars as the fabled Mad Hatter in this 2017 clip of the tea party from The Royal Ballet’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Exciting news! The ballet was on stage in 2017, however, it’s now being streamed online in January 2021! Streaming: Friday, January 1, 2021, 7:00 GMT, broadcast online as part of the Royal Opera House’s #OurHouseToYourHouse series. Available to watch until January 31, 2021. Christopher Wheeldon’s exuberant Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland transports audiences to the riotous world of Lewis Carroll’s characters, including a tap-dancing Mad Hatter and a comically wicked Queen of Hearts. Bob Crowley’s ingenious mixture of traditional and innovative stagecraft together with the pace and colour of Joby Talbot’s score make Alice a gloriously vibrant experience. Packed with clever choreography…

Recently, my friends came through when I asked them about their favorite podcasts. I have only been into podcasts for the past year. Didn’t care for them at first, but now I regularly listen to a few. I received so many recommendations that I am breaking them down into a series of posts. Good problem to have, huh? So, I’ll break the list up to avoid a never-ending single post. The categories are Trashy Fun, Comedy, Murder and True Crime, Supernatural and Bizarre, Racial Injustice, History, Book Reviewers, Film, and Dolly Parton’s America. Podcast definition Simply put, a podcast is an audio programme, just like Talk Radio, but you subscribe to it on your smartphone and listen to it whenever you like.…

The night is darkening round me,The wild winds coldly blow;But a tyrant spell has bound me,And I cannot, cannot go. The giant trees are bendingTheir bare boughs weighed with snow;The storm is fast descending,And yet I cannot go. Clouds beyond clouds above me,Wastes beyond wastes below;But nothing drear can move me;I will not, cannot go.

Ever been puzzled why the words fall and autumn are exchanged at times during this wondrous season of the year? It’s my favorite with cooler days/nights, firepits, football, pumpkin pies, and comfy clothes. I really live for it. I get regular email newsletters from one of my favorite online magazines: AtlasObscura.com, and they published this piece by Dan Nosowitz again today. He wrote it in November 2017, but of course, nothing’s changed as far as the roots and meanings of these two words. So, let’s read Dan’s own words so the next time this pops up we’ll know! This post contains affiliate links. If you click a link and make a purchase, Poe in Wonderland will earn a small commission for the referral at no cost to you. Usage of the word “fall” first appeared in England in the mid-16th century; “autumn” pre-dates it to sometime in the late 14th…
