Fri Sept 28

We got through a fair number of poems today. Was very happy about that. We learned about what a Blazon poem was about and read from the Song of Songs 4:1-7

I mentioned one of the original poems in Western Literature today, too. It was "The Iliad" by Homer, and the film version of a part of it stars Brad Pitt and Eric Bana, and we HAD to watch a bit of the epic fight between Achilles and Hector






We then got to the work for homework we had to do and we got this assigned:

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening

BY ROBERT FROST

Whose woods these are I think I know.   

His house is in the village though;   

He will not see me stopping here   

To watch his woods fill up with snow.   

My little horse must think it queer   

To stop without a farmhouse near   

Between the woods and frozen lake   

The darkest evening of the year.   

He gives his harness bells a shake   

To ask if there is some mistake.   

The only other sound’s the sweep   

Of easy wind and downy flake.   

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,   

But I have promises to keep,   

And miles to go before I sleep,   

And miles to go before I sleep.
