Two poems from my archives

med_cat: (woman reading)
As there have been numerous things--personal, professional, country-wide, in several other countries, and world-wide, that do not fill me with optimism--and I know many others feel similarly--

I thought I'd share two of my longtime favorite poems:

Say not the struggle nought availeth, by Arthur Hugh Clough

An Attempt at Consolation, by Yuri Levitanskiy
