Fall 2012 Prose & Poetry Recitation

For each season of the year, we endeavor to commit some verse or a prose selection to memory.  Thereʼs no better way to relish the beauty and power of our native tongue or reflect deeply on the truth that makes us free.

Past selections have included David Middletonʼs Of Magnanimity, Christina Rossettiʼs In the Bleak Midwinter, and a letter of moral counsel, “Few Words,” written by Thomas Jefferson to a little lad, the son of one of Jeffersonʼs friends. 

For the fall of 2012, our selection is William Cowperʼs God Moves in a Mysterious Way. Cowper (1731–1800) is generally regarded as the greatest evangelical poet of 18th-century England.

Families and friends are encouraged to join us in making poetry, rhyme, and eloquent expression an enjoyable aspect of life in American homes again.
