Ubi Desinit Philosophus, Ibi Incipit Medicus

About Me



"As kingfishers catch fire, dragonflies dráw fláme;
As tumbled over rim in roundy wells
Stones ring; like each tucked string tells, each hung bell’s
Bow swung finds tongue to fling out broad its name;
Each mortal thing does one thing and the same:
Deals out that being indoors each one dwells;
Selves—goes itself; myself it speaks and spells,
Crying Whát I do is me: for that I came."

Dear Loved Ones,William Shakespeare--not surprisingly--said best what I need to say to each of you. His 30th Sonnet is one of loves lost, not necessarily in a romantic sense. I want you to read every ...
