  1. Shel Silverstein is famous for his children’s poetry and illustrations.

    In poem Lazy Jane the word "rain" hovers just above Jane’s open mouth, as the string of words above it seems to represent the trickle of water she longs for.

  2. An excerpt from "Camas Lilies" by Lynn Ungar:

    And you—what of your rushed
    and useful life? Imagine setting it all down—
    papers, plans, appointments, everything—
    leaving only a note: “Gone
    to the fields to be lovely. Be back
    when I’m through with blooming.”
