George Herbert, ‘“The Flower”
Here at the Library, looking forward to spring and our new programs, “recovered greenness” is what I feel. Reaching out to the writers, poets, biographers, scholars all, in our community whose programs had to be cancelled due to the pandemic, I feel a sense of renewal and hope for new beginnings.
In his memorial tribute to Elizabeth Bishop, James Merrill quoted the Italian poet and essayist Eugenio Montale “The ancients said poetry is a staircase to God” maybe with our 21st century sensitivity we might say it is a staircase to new ways of seeing.
It is this new way of seeing that stands out as a theme in all that is happening around books old and new and friends old and new here at the Stonington Free Library.
