- airstrike 9y agoI love how this is dated May 2018. Are we rounding months now?

- todd8 9y agoHmm... an account of a female Roman Catholic poet that should be better known. I personally don't understand this being on the front page of HN, but the diverse interests of HN readers is always surprising and makes this such an educational place.

- kwoff 9y agoNot sure why, but I was the one who waited in the garden Doubting the morning and the early light. I watched the mist lift off its own soft burden, Permitting not believing my own sight. reminded me (I guess it's kinda iambic pentameter) of this in the 1st act of Hamlet: But look, the morn, in russet mantle clad, Walks o'er the dew of yon high eastward hill. russet: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russet_(cloth) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russet_(cloth) mantle: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mantle_(clothing) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mantle_(clothing)
