Today is one of those "Hamlet" days. You know the type:
I have of late—but wherefore I know not—lost all my mirth, forgone all custom of exercises; and indeed it goes so heavily with my disposition that this goodly frame, the earth, seems to me a sterile promontory, this most excellent canopy, the air, look you, this brave o'erhanging firmament, this majestical roof fretted with golden fire, why, it appears no other thing to me than a foul and pestilent congregation of vapors.
bah.

That strange flower, the sun,
Is just what you say.
Have it your way.
The world is ugly,
And the people are sad.
That tuft of jungle feathers,
That animal eye,
Is just what you say.
That savage of fire,
That seed,
Have it your way.
The world is ugly,
And the people are sad.

Date: 2012-10-04 10:29 pm (UTC)I'm blaming this, personally. It's been freakin' grey and overcast for over a week now. Oh sure, it was all poetic and romantic at first, the mists blurring the outlines of the green and golden trees...but it's gotten to be a bit more damp, and dreary. I'm very much looking forward to the sunshine that is due tomorrow.
I also blame the change in weather. I also blame school starting its annual exchange of germs which are disseminating throughout the populace.
So I am there, sistah, I am RIGHT THERE with you.
It's times like this that I'm torn between Resumé and Sympton Recital
