Poem about Self-Pity

Self-pity

I never saw a wild thing
sorry for itself.
A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough
without ever having felt sorry for itself.

DH Lawrence

 Wikipedia article about DH Lawrence: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D._H._Lawrence

 Quoted several times in the movie G.I. Jane.

 

Another poem:

O the stale old dogs who pretend to guard
the morals of the masses,
how smelly they make the great back-yard
wetting after everyone that passes.

— excerpt, The Young and Their Moral Guardians

The number one page on this site is my “Hindi Resources on the web”

https://www.gadgetnate.com/index.php/hindi/hindi-resources-on-the-web/

And the number one place I get hits from is India.  I find this to be pretty amazing!

 

I was thinking about doing a daily blog like the http://www.japanesepod101.com/ but around Hindi instead.  My mother-in-law is a Hindi teacher.  It could be a lot of fun.  And I’m already getting a lot of hits for content like this.  Maybe it would be a good way to learn Hindi, provide a service, increase the number of hits my site gets, earn some additional ad revenue (which is really, really nice!), and potentially have some value added services.
