Austin's Funnies Corner

    I spend hours practicing the cello part to the symphony. Then I go and listen to the actual song. And suddenly, my life makes sense.

    Ah, cello humor.

I love this show. Witty humor, inspiring innovation and intellect, and a song in every episode. :)

The Grave and the Rose

By: Victor Hugo

The Grave said to the Rose,

"What of the dews of dawn,
Love's flower, what end is theirs?"
"And what of spirits flown,
The souls whereon doth close
The tomb's mouth unawares?"
The Rose said to the Grave.

The Rose said, "In the shade
From the dawn's tears is made
A perfume faint and strange,
Amber and honey sweet."
"And all the spirits fleet
Do suffer a sky-change,
More strangely than the dew,
To God's own angels new,"
The Grave said to the Rose.


This is such a beautiful poem, and of course it is by French poet, author, and philosopher Victor Hugo, who is someone I greatly admire and look up to.

I recently fell in love with this piece. It has such a melancholy feel to it, and yet it's so passionate. There's so much you can imagine with it.
