Tumbling cloud (4th of July 2011)
I'm thinking of freedom and fireworks so before we head out the door, here is something from Yeats and something with fireworks — Happy 4th of July!
I will not be clapped in a hood,
Nor a cage, nor alight upon wrist,
Now I have learnt to be proud
Hovering over the wood
In the broken mist
...Or tumbling cloud.
— from The Hawk by William Butler Yeats

Have fun, be safe!

Nor a cage, nor alight upon wrist,
