I am Sam
Sam I am
That Sam I am
That Sam I am
I do not like that Sam I am
Do you like green eggs and ham?
I do not like them Sam I am...
Just kidding
...because I think the first Dr. Seuss that was read to me was "One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish..."
But for real, in high school:
Bright star! would I were steadfast as thou art—
Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night,
And watching, with eternal lids apart,
Like Nature’s patient sleepless Eremite,
The moving waters at their priestlike task
Of pure ablution round earth’s human shores,
Or gazing on the new soft fallen mask
Of snow upon the mountains and the moors—
No—yet still steadfast, still unchangeable,
Pillow’d upon my fair love’s ripening breast,
To feel for ever its soft fall and swell,
Awake for ever in a sweet unrest,
Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath,
And so live ever—or else swoon to death.
John Keats
I loved that poem, because it embodied a cherishing of a feminine aspect in love and romance that I deeply related to and that seemed to be becoming extinct as a result of "feminism" at that time (the 80's).
