(1) Write an essay on Hamlet that will make the angels weep (in a good way). You will hand this masterpiece to me on Jan. 6, when I will see you again for the first time in 26 days. Hopefully we will still remember one another.
(2) Engage in the discussion on "Mr. Green" -- many of you have not yet done so. Remember -- participation will make up 15% of your final grade this term.
(3) If you are one of the eight students who has not yet dazzled us with your mastery of a soliloquy, plan on doing so on Jan. 6
(4) Play a great deal -- I miss you!
Following is a poem by RG Gregory -- enjoy!
Images of snow - february 1996
snow is a thousand flowers
the chinese probably said
hundreds and thousands this morning
drop their garlands on my head
last night the festoons started
long before we went to bed
snow is a white-furred rabbit
the chinese probably wrote
hedgerows and fields this morning
wear a similar fluffy coat
last night the winter danced back
with a white fur round its throat
snow is a treacherous fox-face
the chinese probably thought
it lurks in wait this morning
for the weak and overwrought
last night it laughed its head off
loving the fear it's brought
the chinese probably said
hundreds and thousands this morning
drop their garlands on my head
last night the festoons started
long before we went to bed
snow is a white-furred rabbit

hedgerows and fields this morning

with a white fur round its throat
