Milton watching Florida lose at home
Down the great river to the
opening gulf,
And there take root an island
salt and bare,
The haunt of seals, and orcs,
and sea-mews' clang:
To teach thee that God
attributes to place
No sanctity, if none be
thither brought
XI, 833-837

Wish that I was on ol' Rocky Top
Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes the sun,
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
I have been changed for good.

Among the many celebrations planned for #America250, I did not anticipate that a Minor League baseball team would adopt the name Seminquincentennials but as far as bits go this is catnip for the historian/baseball fan crossover demographic. www.milb.com/news/patriot...
