it's Birthday.... Happy Birthday Danny














what I'm listening to:
Ketil Bjornstad: I had been hungry all the years

(lyrics by Emily Dickinson)
I had been hungry all the years-
My noon had come, to dine-
I, trembling, drew the table near
And touched the curious wine.






'T was this on tables I had seen
When turning, hungry, lone,
I looked in windows, for the wealth
I could not hope to own.






I did not know the ample bread,
'T was so unlike the crumb
The birds and I had often shared
In Nature's dining-room.







The plenty hurt me, 't was so new,--
Myself felt ill and odd,
As berry of a mountain bush
Transplanted to the road.






Nor was I hungry; so I found
That hunger was a way
Of persons outside windows,
The entering takes away.
