i have always liked this poem. written by robert browning, this poem perfectly captures the longing for one's homeland while traveling abroad. lonely hardworking expats can just substitute philippines for england, and presto–
Now that April 's there,
And whoever wakes in England
Sees, some morning, unaware,
That the lowest boughs and the brushwood sheaf
Round the elm-tree bole are in tiny leaf,
While the chaffinch sings on the orchard bough
In England—now!
And after April, when May follows,
And the whitethroat builds, and all the swallows!
Hark, where my blossom'd pear-tree in the hedge
Leans to the field and scatters on the clover
Blossoms and dewdrops—at the bent spray's edge—
That 's the wise thrush; he sings each song twice over,
Lest you should think he never could recapture
The first fine careless rapture!
And though the fields look rough with hoary dew,
All will be gay when noontide wakes anew
The buttercups, the little children's dower
—Far brighter than this gaudy melon-flower!
a nurse-in-waiting hoping to pass my time in comfortable and relative obscurity. in the meantime, i'm turning to blogging...
stinelli is in the house -- when she's not too busy somewhere else. i'm still focusing on my board exams (please wish me luck), so until then i'll just be mostly concentrating on my other interests: reading & travel.
To acquire the habit of reading
is to construct for yourself a refuge
from almost all of the miseries of life.
-- W. Somerset Maugham
