Amenities

I know Rio de Janeiro devoids basic amenities for the dwellers, but take a look at these people! There should be good transportation everywhere, but, have you pondered over why politicians always promise but do nothing? Unfortunately, that's the world we live in...

Here's a poem by the florid English poet William Blake. Hope you savour it!

To the evening star

Thou fair-haired angel of the evening,
Now, whilst the sun rests on the mountains, light
Thy bright torch of love; thy radiant crown
Put on, and smile upon our evening bed!
Smile on our loves, and while thou drawest the
Blue curtains of the sky, scatter thy silver dew
On every flower that shuts its sweet eyes
In timely sleep. Let thy west wing sleep on
The lake; speak silence with thy glimmering eyes,
And wash the dusk with silver. Soon, full soon,
Dost thou withdraw; then the wolf rages wide,
And the lion glares through the dun forest.
The fleeces of our flocks are covered with
Thy sacred dew; protect with them with thine influence.
