David Foster Wallace 2nd Gromit - early snow, 2019 // how do I love thee? - elizabeth barret browning // euphoria (2019-) // Whenever, Wherever - Shakira 

[kosans]

It seems to me, to myself, that no man was ever before to any woman what you are to me--the fullness must be in proportion, you know, to the vacancy...and only I know what was behind--the long wilderness without the blossoming rose...and the capacity for happiness, like a black gaping hole, before this silver flooding.  Is it wonderful that I should stand as in a dream, and disbelieve--not you--but my own fate? Was ever any one taken suddenly from a lampless dungeon and placed upon the pinnacle of a mountain, without the head turning round and the heart turning faint, as mine do? And you love me more, you say?  Shall I thank you or God? Both, indeed, and there is no possible return from me to either of you!  I thank you as the unworthy may…and as we all thank God.  How shall I ever prove what my heart is to you?  How will you ever see it as I feel it?…

Elizabeth Barrett Browning in a letter to Robert Browning

So I get to the Post Game Live section of my recording...

and during the highlights, I hear:

"But it leaves it up to Juan Pierre, who works the count here on Barret Browning-- who's not gonna write a poem after this game, by the way."

I DIED.

THEY MADE A POETRY REFERENCE IN PHILLIES BASEBALL COMMENTARY.

I KNOW I SOUND DUMB AS HELL, BUT MY LIFE IS COMPLETE.

MY TWO LOVES.

Please tell me I'm not the only one who got the Browning joke...
