To this generation I would say:
Memorize some bit of verse of truth or beauty.
Memorize some bit of verse of truth or beauty.
Edgar Lee Masters
August 23, 1868: Edgar Lee Masters published over 50 volumes of work, but he is known for just one—Spoon River Anthology, a moving book of poetry that tells the stories of ordinary people in a small Illinois town. He was born in Kansas, 145 years ago today.
No matter what he does, every person on earth plays a central role in the history of the world. And normally he doesn't know it.
Paulo Coelho
August 24, 1947: Popular Brazilian novelist Paulo Coelho often writes about spiritual journeys. The turning point in his life was trekking the road to Santiago de Compostela in Spain—his book, The Pilgrimage, is about that long walk. Happy 66th birthday!
