I was at your kitchen table doing homework and I said "Oh!" and you said "What?" and I said, "Well . . . wait, I don't know, I'll tell you when I've thought about it some more"? This was it: When I have my own house I'm going to make a pillow for my couch that says this line from W.H. Auden's "As I Walked Out One Evening":
Perhaps it doesn't sound as nice out-of-context so here's the whole thing: http://www.poets.org/viewmedia.php/prmMID/15551
It will go along with all my inevitable vinyl-lettered wooden boards that say "Live Laugh Love" and "Life is about . . . learning to dance in the rain or something, etc." You know.

I really like this poem.
