Helen Keller

Today I was a Helen Keller.

I blasted music into my ears and took off my glasses.
Instantly, this crowded college became a sea of moving colors and lights---like being drugged while at the circus. Wonderful.

I think I shall try this more often.

Your quote:

These violent delights have violent ends

and in their triumph die, like fire and powder,

which as they kiss, consume.
