Haiku


Poetry is the essence of clarity and brevity in literature. Haiku is the essence of clarity and brevity in poetry. I found a beautiful Haiku Photography site by Ray Rasmussen that pairs Haikus with photography. So far, my favorite Haiku there is under the Fall Photography section.

Wow. Did you write that? I like it.
Very appropriately autumnal.

I think you are right! Haiku is an ingenious method of expression!

Dymphna's favorite quotes


"Slavery ended in medieval Europe only because the church extended its sacraments to all slaves and then managed to impose a ban on the enslavement of Christians (and of Jews). Within the context of medieval Europe, that prohibition was effectively a rule of universal abolition. "— Rodney Stark
