A Luminous Halo

"Life is not a series of gig lamps symmetrically arranged; life is a luminous halo, a semi-transparent envelope surrounding us from the beginning of consciousness to the end." --Virginia Woolf

Bad Poetry: How Strange Are Dreams!



Here's another gem from J. Gordon Coogler, Southern Sunday School teacher and poet. I wish I could find the complete text. Those afficionados not lucky enough to own one of his books have to content themselves with this excerpt from How Strange Are Dreams!:

How strange are dreams! I dreamed the other night
A dream that made me tremble,
Not with fear, but with a kind of strange reality;
My supper, though late, consisted of no cheese.
