Yes! A protagonist who NEVER learns from his mistakes and never gives up. That is true heroism.

My actual hero.

I’m childishly excited to see this. Wile E. Coyote taught me everything I know about resourcefulness, resilience and hope.

"... the heart that is low now
will be at the full to-morrow."

Behold, another second coming. But this one is Donald Trump – WAY BETTER than that Jesus guy | Marina Hyde The Middle East on fire, a spat with the pope – and he posts himself as Potus Almighty. Will his disciples now see that their messiah has feet of clay, asks Guardian columnist Marina Hyde

As loud people say loud things, here’s this by George Eliot:
For the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs.

To feel the light, and hear the hum
Of bees, and smell the drying grass
And the sweet mint."

Remembering the poet Edward Thomas, who was killed in action on this day in 1917 in The Battle of Arras.

Never interrupt your mistakes when you’re making enemies.

Take a little moment for yourself, and read this quintessential poem for the month of April.

He must be pythed (pissed, pythia, geddit)

That reminds me - last night I put the cat out.

The Day My Dog Spontaneously Combusted there he was – chasing sticks, doing tricks, and all that stuff next minute, woof Brian Bilston

tweet from Imagine A Guy guy who only knew jesus professionally: Honey, did you hear they CRUCIFIED our CARPENTER???

One of my favourite RS Thomas poems.

That looks amazing!

'Police gave chase hoping to retrieve the haul, but the thieves just gave them two fingers'

Am now heading out on a cheese quest.

This is brilliant!

Wonderful film of Paul Robeson's solidarity in action, and of his beautiful voice.
