//**C.S. Lewis **// Reaching out to those that support one's self in one of the greatest factors in a successful writer. C.S. Lewis made sure to imply who his audience was when writing his voluptuous poems and stories. His faith in God lead him down a road of righteousness and showed that through his works. By writing about what he believed in, he gained a certain audience that can't be gained by simply asking. In the many fantastic works he has created, he put his belief in God first, and from that many who believed what he believed became introduced to this never ending path he was leading. Gaining members of the same group that thinks the way he does, helped him get his name out and broaden his audience. He began to precisely see the kind of people he was attracting; so he kept doing what he was doing. In the following quote, this is an example of what kind of audience Lewis is attracting and his purpose of writing, "Arise my body, my small body, we have striven Enough, and He is merciful; we are forgiven" (Lewis After Prayers, Lie Cold). He had gained the perfect audience and became a extremely successful writer. Though many may think that he is only reaching out to those who believe in his beliefs, he does more than that. He strived to become a successful writer and reach out to as many as he could, believers in God or not.

//**__ First Famous Poem __**// //After Prayers, Lie Cold//

Arise my body, my small body, we have striven Enough, and He is merciful; we are forgiven. Arise small body, puppet-like and pale, and go, White as the bed-clothes into bed, and cold as snow, Undress with small, cold fingers and put out the light, And be alone, hush'd mortal, in the sacred night, -A meadow whipt flat with the rain, a cup Emptied and clean, a garment washed and folded up, Faded in colour, thinned almost to raggedness By dirt and by the washing of that dirtiness. Be not too quickly warm again. Lie cold; consent To weariness' and pardon's watery element. Drink up the bitter water, breathe the chilly death; Soon enough comes the riot of our blood and breath.

//**<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 20px;">Oliver Wendall Holmes **// <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 20px;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">Showing support in others in one thing Holmes was good at, he showed that through his poems and essays, and they knew it too. Holmes wrote to reach out to others, from a wide variety of angles of poems, from medical treatments and cures, to encouraging symbolic poems. C.S. Lewis, showed how support from those who believe in the same way you do helps you become successful, but Holmes showed support for others in his acts. Holmes was writing poems thinking that his audience was medically seeking answers, and he wrote poems for their benefit. Holmes showed support in other ways as well, in encouragement and advice. The following quote is a poem written by Holmes himself, it was called A Hymn of Peace, and shows how he tries to support others, "ANGEL of Peace, thou hast wandered too long! Spread thy white wings to the sunshine of love!" (Holmes). Showing someone that they have support can make all the difference in their lives. Holmes wrote for that purpose, but not that purpose only. Making others believe in one's self is also the purpose of many writings that Holmes has written over the years. He formed a following of people who believed not only what he wrote, but also in themselves.

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">WHO is the shepherd sent to lead, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">Through pastures green, the Master's sheep? <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">What guileless 'Israelite indeed' <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">The folded flock may watch and keep?

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">He who with manliest spirit joins <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">The heart of gentlest human mould, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">With burning light and girded loins, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">To guide the flock, or watch the fold;

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">True to all Truth the world denies, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">Not tongue-tied for its gilded sin; <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">Not always right in all men's eyes, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">But faithful to the light within;

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">Who asks no meed of earthly fame, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">Who knows no earthly master's call, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">Who hopes for man, through guilt and shame, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">Still answering, 'God is over all';

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">Who makes another's grief his own, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">Whose smile lends joy a double cheer; <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">Where lives the saint, if such be known?-- <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">Speak softly,--such an one is here!

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">O faithful shepherd! thou hast borne <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">The heat and burden of the clay; <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">Yet, o'er thee, bright with beams unshorn, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">The sun still shows thine onward way.

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">To thee our fragrant love we bring, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">In buds that April half displays, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">Sweet first-born angels of the spring, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">Caught in their opening hymn of praise.

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">What though our faltering accents fail, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">Our captives know their message well, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">Our words unbreathed their lips exhale, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">And sigh more love than ours can tell.

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">YES, write, if you want to, there's nothing like trying; <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">Who knows what a treasure your casket may hold? <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">I'll show you that rhyming's as easy as lying, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">If you'll listen to me while the art I unfold

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">Here's a book full of words; one can choose as he fancies, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">As a painter his tint, as a workman his tool; <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">Just think! all the poems and plays and romances <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">Were drawn out of this, like the fish from a pool!

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">You can wander at will through its syllabled mazes, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">And take all you want, not a copper they cost,-- <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">What is there to hinder your picking out phrases <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">For an epic as clever as "Paradise Lost"?

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">Don't mind if the index of sense is at zero, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">Use words that run smoothly, whatever they mean; <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">Leander and Lilian and Lillibullero <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">Are much the same thing in the rhyming machine.

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">There are words so delicious their sweetness will smother <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">That boarding-school flavor of which we're afraid, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">There is "lush"is a good one, and "swirl" is another,-- <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">Put both in one stanza, its fortune is made.

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">With musical murmurs and rhythmical closes <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">You can cheat us of smiles when you've nothing to tell <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">You hand us a nosegay of milliner's roses, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">And we cry with delight, "Oh, how sweet they do smell!"

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">Perhaps you will answer all needful conditions <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">For winning the laurels to which you aspire, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">By docking the tails of the two prepositions <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">I' the style o' the bards you so greatly admire.

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">As for subjects of verse, they are only too plenty <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">For ringing the changes on metrical chimes <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">A maiden, a moonbeam, a lover of twenty <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">Have filled that great basket with bushels of rhymes.

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">Let me show you a picture--'t is far from irrelevant-- <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">By a famous old hand in the arts of design; <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">'T is only a photographed sketch of an elephant,-- <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">The name of the draughtsman was Rembrandt of Rhine.

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">How easy! no troublesome colors to lay on, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">It can't have fatigued him,-- no, not in the least,-- <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">A dash here and there with a haphazard crayon, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">And there stands the wrinkled-skinned, baggy-limbed beast.

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">Just so with your verse,-- 't is as easy as sketching,-- <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">You can reel off a song without knitting your brow, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">As lightly as Rembrandt a drawing or etching; <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">It is nothing at all, if you only know how.

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">Well; imagine you've printed your volume of verses: <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">Your forehead is wreathed with the garland of fame, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">Your poems the eloquent school-boy rehearses, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">Her album the school-girl presents for your name;

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">Each morning the post brings you autograph letters; <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">You'll answer them promptly,-- an hour isn't much <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">For the honor of sharing a page with your betters, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">With magistrates, members of Congress, and such.

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">Of course you're delighted to serve the committees <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">That come with requests from the country all round, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">You would grace the occasion with poems and ditties <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">When they've got a new schoolhouse, or poorhouse, or pound.

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">With a hymn for the saints and a song for the sinners, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">You go and are welcome wherever you please; <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">You're a privileged guest at all manner of dinners, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">You've a seat on the platform among the grandees.

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">At length your mere presence becomes a sensation, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">Your cup of enjoyment is filled to its brim <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">With the pleasure Horatian of digitmonstration, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">As the whisper runs round of "That's he!" or "That's him!"

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">But remember, O dealer in phrases sonorous, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">So daintily chosen, so tunefully matched, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">Though you soar with the wings of the cherubim o'er us, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">The ovum was human from which you were hatched.

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">No will of your own with its puny compulsion <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">Can summon the spirit that quickens the lyre; <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">It comes, if at all, like the Sibyl's convulsion <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">And touches the brain with a finger of fire

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">So perhaps, after all, it's as well to he quiet <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">If you've nothing you think is worth saying in prose, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">As to furnish a meal of their cannibal diet <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">To the critics, by publishing, as you propose.

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">But it's all of no use, and I'm sorry I've written,-- <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">I shall see your thin volume some day on my shelf; <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">For the rhyming tarantula surely has bitten <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">And music must cure you, so pipe it yourself.

She reaches out to those who feel the same way she does through her poems. The many men and women she has affected through her poems is infinite. She wrote many poems dealing with grief and loss, showing her pain that she reaches out to her audience for. Considering how undeniably creative she is, she used that to let out all of the pain she had inside, which came through in her audience. In the following quote, Bishop explains how easy it is to express her thoughts on loss and how much it can effect someone, "the art of losing's not too hard to master, though it may look like a disaster" (Bishop One Art). In her terms, loss can affect many people in the same way, and she expresses that extravagantly through her work. Many things tried to get her down throughout her life, but she wrote poems expressing herself and gained an audience that felt the same way that she did, forming a community easily gathered, that conformed as one.

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">**//One Art//** <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">The art of losing isn't hard to master; <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">so many things seem filled with the intent <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">to be lost that their loss is no disaster,

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">Lose something every day. Accept the fluster <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">of lost door keys, the hour badly spent. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">The art of losing isn't hard to master.

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">Then practice losing farther, losing faster: <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">places, and names, and where it was you meant <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">to travel. None of these will bring disaster.

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">I lost my mother's watch. And look! my last, or <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">next-to-last, of three loved houses went. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">The art of losing isn't hard to master.

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">I lost two cities, lovely ones.

Here and there <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">his brown skin hung in strips <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">like ancient wallpaper, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">and its pattern of darker brown <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">was like wallpaper: <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">shapes like full-blown roses <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">stained and lost through age. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">He was speckled and barnacles, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">fine rosettes of lime, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">and infested <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">with tiny white sea-lice, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">and underneath two or three <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">rags of green weed hung down. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">While his gills were breathing in <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">the terrible oxygen <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">--the frightening gills, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">fresh and crisp with blood, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">that can cut so badly-- <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">I thought of the coarse white flesh <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">packed in like feathers, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">the big bones and the little bones, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">the dramatic reds and blacks <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">of his shiny entrails, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">and the pink swim-bladder <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">like a big peony. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">I looked into his eyes <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">which were far larger than mine <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">but shallower, and yellowed, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">the irises backed and packed <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">with tarnished tinfoil <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">seen through the lenses <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">of old scratched isinglass. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">They shifted a little, but not <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">to return my stare. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">--It was more like the tipping <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">of an object toward the light. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">I admired his sullen face, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">the mechanism of his jaw, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">and then I saw <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">that from his lower lip <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">--if you could call it a lip <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">grim, wet, and weaponlike, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">hung five old pieces of fish-line, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">or four and a wire leader <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">with the swivel still attached, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">with all their five big hooks <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">grown firmly in his mouth. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">A green line, frayed at the end <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">where he broke it, two heavier lines, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">and a fine black thread <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">still crimped from the strain and snap <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">when it broke and he got away. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">Like medals with their ribbons <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">frayed and wavering, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">a five-haired beard of wisdom <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">trailing from his aching jaw. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">I stared and stared <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">and victory filled up <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">the little rented boat, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">from the pool of bilge <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">where oil had spread a rainbow <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">around the rusted engine <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">to the bailer rusted orange, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">the sun-cracked thwarts, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">the oarlocks on their strings, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">the gunnels--until everything <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">was rainbow, rainbow, rainbow! <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">And I let the fish go.

__**<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 15px;">Third Famous Poem **__ //**<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22px;">Sestina **// <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">September rain falls on the house. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">In the failing light, the old grandmother <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">sits in the kitchen with the child <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">beside the Little Marvel Stove, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">reading the jokes from the almanac, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">laughing and talking to hide her tears.

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">She thinks that her equinoctial tears <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">and the rain that beats on the roof of the house <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">were both foretold by the almanac, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">but only known to a grandmother. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">The iron kettle sings on the stove. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">She cuts some bread and says to the child,

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">It's time for tea now; but the child <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">is watching the teakettle's small hard tears <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">dance like mad on the hot black stove, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">the way the rain must dance on the house. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">Tidying up, the old grandmother <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">hangs up the clever almanac

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">on its string. Birdlike, the almanac <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">hovers half open above the child, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">hovers above the old grandmother <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">and her teacup full of dark brown tears. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">She shivers and says she thinks the house <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">feels chilly, and puts more wood in the stove.

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">It was to be, says the Marvel Stove. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">I know what I know, says the almanac. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">With crayons the child draws a rigid house <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">and a winding pathway. Then the child <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">puts in a man with buttons like tears <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">and shows it proudly to the grandmother.

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">But secretly, while the grandmother <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">busies herself about the stove, <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">the little moons fall down like tears <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">from between the pages of the almanac <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">into the flower bed the child <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">has carefully placed in the front of the house.

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">Time to plant tears, says the almanac. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">The grandmother sings to the marvelous stove <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px;">and the child draws another inscrutable house.
