some good writing!

So I was reading in Upper Herrick which made me think of a poem I read junior year called "Christ Climbed Down" and then while I was looking for my copy of that I found this really cool piece by George Orwell called "Politics and the English Language" which I read in the same class!

the latter is located at

Orwell dissects passages that he finds to have a poor use of the English language. When I read it in that class it was funny, so...it might be still?

the former at

and it's by Lawrence Ferlinghetti...
