I feel sad though when you mentioned that:<br />"whereas lines of poetry used to descend like meteor showers, poems aren’t coming to him nowadays"<br />- there are days like that.

I do hope the meteor showers descend upon him again. :)GatheringBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477710897574769648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9016603191533255832.post-7276479564546698512011-10-28T16:10:27.987-04:002011-10-28T16:10:27.987-04:00I enjoyed that clip you posted (and poem, too!).
