Touched by An Angel by Maya Angelou
We, unaccustomed to courage
exiles from delight
live coiled in shells of loneliness
until love leaves its high holy temple
and comes into our sight
to liberate us into life.
Love arrives
and in its train come ecstasies
old memories of pleasure
ancient histories of pain.
Yet if we are bold,
love strikes away the chains of fear
from our souls.
We are weaned from our timidity
In the flush of love's light
we dare be brave
And suddenly we see
that love costs all we are
and will ever be.
Yet it is only love
which sets us free.
александр сергеевич пушкин родился 6 июня 1799 г. в москве.
его отец, отставной майор сергей львович пушкин, принадлежал к старому, некогда богатому, дворянскому роду, а мать была внучкой ,,арапа петра великого” (позднее – генерала ).
отец и мать, захваченные великосветской жизнью, обращали мало внимания на детей, из которых выросли только трое: старшая дочь ольга, сыновья александр и лев. остальные дети умерли еще в детстве. их воспитанием занимались часто менявшиеся иностранные гувернеры, о которых у а. с. пушкина остались неприятные воспоминания. в детские годы его лучшим другом была няня арина родионовна, неграмотная крепостная крестьянка, песни и сказки которой привили ее воспитаннику любовь к народной поэзии.
Hello my cousin, I know that you want to come to me and meet my best friend and I decided to tell you a little about him.
He is of average height and mine is the same age, we study at the same college but at different faculties. As a person, he is kind but a little quick-witted. It is interesting to communicate with him and spend time! He is an extrovert.
He loves to play volleyball and video games. We often play together online or go to play volleyball in the town center. Sometimes we go to each other with an overnight stay.
Well, I would like to ask the same question to you, what is your best friend? I am waiting for an answer when you arrive or at the electronic version!
