Rhapsody

I have miles to go, and tears to weep
Before this child within me sleeps

Like Heidi up the mountain climb
To rearrange mind space, mind time

Jupiter and Saturn chime

The old woman who lives up high
Cold Mountain, Heidi climb!

Austen and Vonnegut
Fire up, but nothing of it

Refuse to marry, Titan plan
Heidi run, as fast you can

Train to space where tears erase
Falling stars and human race

Little girl with sun burnt face
Precious dress lined with lace

Hurry now and quicken pace

Sun is shading we are fading
Heaven holds and Hell is waiting

Closer now to the peak
So close but beyond reach

Old man smoking, fast as your poking
Books are burning, people earning

Pope and free men
Wonder where they’ve been

Innocent children

Can’t survive without the other
Father sister mother brother

Split asunder

Farther now you must cast
Past the sky and cosmos vast

Heidi if you do not reach your goal
All is lost, heart and soul

Monet Renoir Degas all in the same sentence! This is the first time
I've seen this.
I would add Cezanne, Manet,
Lautrec, and Russeau.
