POPSThe Plath Legacy Lives "Sylvia Plath, who killed herself at the age of 30, was one of the great American poets of the 20th century. No other poet in English except Keats, and no American poet, produced so much enduring work in such a brief lifetime. Sylvia understood. She tapped into the place from which arise dreams, mythology, the collective consciousness, and allowed herself to be a conduit for some primordial soup lurking in the deepest recesses of us all. Now her son has killed himself, after a long battle with depression. It’s sad to think that in this time of psychopharmacological and cognitive-behavioral wonders, he was not able to get above his illness."

POPS An Unlooked-For Solace In April 1782, the British merchant/philanthropist John Thornton, a cherished Christian friend of Cowper’s, sent a gift to Benjamin Franklin—then in France as part of the American diplomatic delegation. The gift was a copy of Poems by William Cowper of the Inner Temple. Thornton’s gift to Franklin was accompanied with a letter, which read in part: “Permit me to request your acceptance of some poems of a friend of mine who has been many years excluded from the World, as not being in his right Mind & considers himself as a Non Entity & reads nothing beyond a News paper, & yet he wrote the most of these poems last Year.” Just over one month later, in May 1782, Franklin wrote a remarkable letter in reply.

POPSOde to Autumn (John Keats) Where are the songs of Spring? Ay, where are they? Think not of them, thou hast thy music too,— While barrèd clouds bloom the soft-dying day 25 And touch the stubble-plains with rosy hue; Then in a wailful choir the small gnats mourn Among the river-sallows, borne aloft Or sinking as the light wind lives or dies; And full-grown lambs loud bleat from hilly bourn; 30 Hedge-crickets sing; and now with treble soft The redbreast whistles from a garden-croft; And gathering swallows twitter in the skies. Guess I'm missing . . well, seasons!
