TV Poem

I am not feeling particularly melancholy* right now but thought to post this poem anyway. It is the epigram in Hardy's Return of the Native. This truncated passage is very nice and I hope you like it.

"To sorrow
I bade good morrow,
And thought to leave her far away behind;
But cheerly, cheerly,
She loves me dearly;
She is so constant to me, and so kind.
I would deceive her,
And so leave her,
But ah! she is so constant and so kind."

- John Keats

* In fact, truth be told, I am feeling quite joyous as I have a date with the Time Warner cable guy this weekend! That's right, folks! I am finally getting cable. I don't care- I love TV and consummerism and not (absolutely not) American Idol but I do love some VH1 shows, and Bewitched and that finance girl on one of those MSNBC/ CNN shows where she's always telling you to
1) contribute to your 401K to its match ptn. and then
2) pay off your debts, and then
3) save for a down payment for a house
do you know who i am referring to!? isn't she so full of crack but also so charismatic!? i just can't take my eyes off of her.
Anyway, back to TV. So i am finally getting it and no one can stop me and i am soo excited and whatever shall i wear on this extraordinary date?!? Thoughts?
