This poem has long been a favorite of mine. In playful verse‚ Hardy manages to make a life of sin seem more attractive than one of virtue. By contrasting Audrey and her grubby country life of drudgery with that of Amelia‚ the fallen woman with fine clothes and leisure‚ he suggests that virtue is its own reward. Audrey’s parting comment about wishing she could enjoy such a life is countered by Amelia pointing out that she cannot unless she is also ruined. One wonders if Audrey follows in her friends

The seven elements and various claims for its discovery reveal many of the nationalistic traits that we have seen in the case of other elements‚ most notably the controversy surrounding the discovery of hafnium‚ element 72.

ONE. INIZIO. Amongst the fallen it walks. A dense haze of dust renders the consequences indiscernible. Sirens resonate across the terrain‚ the summer breeze purifying the air. The indiscernible becomes the discernible‚ allowing it to enter the consequences. It passes through the fallen‚ gathering each man.

By the time I heard Timothy Leary chant “Turn on‚ tune in‚ drop out” from the stage of New York’s Fillmore East‚ I had already quit college. The year was 1967‚ and Leary’s battle cry was for me more a confirmation of what I already believed than a call to action. I had never been much good at doing things that didn’t arouse my passion. Even when I was a young girl‚ it was obvious that I had been born without the stick-to-it‚ nose-to-the-grindstone gene. I was stubborn‚ tenacious in my devotion to
