Across The Stars

'Across The Stars' from the Star Wars Episode 2: Attack of the Clones, always manages to make me feel fuzzy inside with teenage love and romance. I'm just taken to this beautiful place full of autumn light, delicate abundance nature, a wash of soft sounds.

For some reason, I was randomly searching YouTube, for the actual song, but came across the piano version, which I liked even more, because it was a variation of the usual MP3 song I had played over and over on the Ipod, CD Player, etc.

Here it is, just beautiful. My favourite version.

Feature Poem

Today's feature poem is 'When I Have Fears That I May Cease To Be' by John Keats, this poem was written as Keats was going through a very rough patch in his health, addressing his love for his fair lady, and loss of fame. Keats died a very young age. It speaks for itself. The strongest lines are the two last ones for me, they resonate well, so sad, but expresses it well.


When I Have Fears That I May Cease To Be

When I have fears that I may cease to be
Before my pen has glean'd my teeming brain,
Before high piled books, in charact'ry,
Hold like rich garners the full-ripen'd grain;
When I behold, upon the night's starr'd face,
Huge cloudy symbols of a high romance,
And think that I may never live to trace
Their shadows, with the magic hand of chance;
And when I feel, fair creature of an hour,
That I shall never look upon thee more,
Never have relish in the faery power
Of unreflecting love!—then on the shore
Of the wide world I stand alone, and think
Till Love and Fame to Nothingness do sink.
