Which lines of poetry live rent-free in your head?

The heart asks pleasure first,
And then, excuse from pain;
And then, those little anodynes
That deaden suffering,
...
Which lines of poetry live rent-free in your head?

While with an eye made quiet by the power
Of harmony, and the deep power of joy,
We see into the life of things.
And if the Babe is born a Boy
He's given to a Woman Old
Who nails him down upon a rock
Catches his Shrieks in Cups of gold

🎬 The Best Movie I Watched Today:
"The Chase" (1946)
Directed by Arthur Ripley

A strange noir from 1946 that I happened to find
on Kanopy. It was one of two noirs I watched
that were based on stories by Cornell Woolrich.

🎬 The Best Movie I Watched Today:
"No Regrets For Our Youth" (1946)
Directed by Akira Kurosawa

Kurosawa is one my favorite directors, and it was my first time
seeing his first postwar film. It begins with young people protesting
Japan's descent into fascism in the 1930s. Does that sound familiar?

Matthew 25:40
I saw Grace Pettis perform in Omaha recently and she sang this song.
I told her afterward that it was similar to something I had included
in a poetry page on my website. (It quoted the same Bible passage.)
I later added her insightful lyric to my commentary.

The American president, who desperately wants a Nobel Peace Prize and brags about ending a bunch of wars, now thinks he can just kill you if he suspects you might have drugs on you.
