Billy Collins Makes Me Happy
I went to find something on YouTube today and noticed that one of the featured videos was my favorite living poet reading one of my favorite poems. I thought I'd share.
A man should learn to detect and watch that gleam of light which flashes across his mind from within, more than the lustre of the firmament of bards and sages. [...] Else to-morrow a stranger will say with masterly good sense precisely what we have thought and felt all the time, and we shall be forced to take with shame our own opinion from another. --Ralph Waldo Emerson
