The Best things in the World-
My overactive imagination has always left me with very idealistic visions of a perfect world, one of them being the perfect world of studying-
I always thought I could possibly enjoying studying. If I were in a cool, specious environment, and a large, uncluttered table all to myself. I'd sit with my back straight, listen to good music and have sips of coffee along the way. I'd also be concentrating so intensely that I don't even notice time flying by.
Of course, that is the ideal world. It doesn't exit. The situation described above has been replicated for me now-
But all I want to do is sleep, exercise, or play piano.
I attended Lit lecture this morning, first Lit lecture in 4 years. Everything was skimped through... but still, I miss the feeling of studying Lit. And so, I end with one of my favourite poems:
The Best Thing in the World?
Elizabeth Barrett Broning
What's the best thing in the world?
June-rose, by May-dew impearled;
Sweet south-wind, that means no rain;
Truth, not cruel to a friend;
Pleasure, not in haste to end;
Beauty, not self-decked and curled
Till its pride is over-plain;
Light, that never makes you wink;
Memory, that gives no pain;
Love, when, so, you're loved again.
What's the best thing in the world?
—Something out of it, I think.
