Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire,
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To know that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

One down
Well I managed to conquer one of my new year's resolutions... I memorized a poem! However, the journey is not complete, because I am going to try to memorize several this year. Here is the one I have so far.

Oh, good for you! Memorizing poetry is a wonderful thing. Edgar Allen Poe is the absolute easiest to memorize, but he may be a bit dark for your taste. Kipling's good, too, though when he writes in dialect it can be difficult. My husband travels, and often when he comes through the door I am moved to say, "Home is the sailor, home from the sea / And the hunter is home from the hill." He probably thinks I'm nuts, but RL Stevenson will stay with you.
hi ann, thanks for your comment on my blog! i love your 'sojochick' name - looking forward to reading more of your blog - congrats on the memory thing. i think that 'use it or loose it' really applies here. i used to have such a great memory - now things just seem to evaporate up there... keep it up!
