Ekphrastic April, Day 8: "A Summer Shower"

"A Summer Shower" (1883) by Edith Hayllar [1860-1948].

a summer shower
a blessed respite

from badminton

and the sty stink
emanating from those
who are playing it

Interesting Idea

I don’t use the term as an insult — the American idiot. I mean it in a precise way, as I try to remind people. For the Greeks, "idiot" carried a precise and special meaning. The person who was only interested in private life, private gain, private advantage. Who had no conception of a public good, common wealth, shared interest. To the Greeks, the pioneers of democracy, the creators of the demos, such a person was the most contemptible of all. Because even the Greeks seemed to understand: you can’t make a functioning democracy out of...idiots.
