GOOD NEWS


GOOD NEWS
There is a local Florida publication

called Good News

which comes out freshly  every week.

It's not about our State or Nation

and I rarely it peruse

except for an occasional peek.


But those few times I scan it

I wonder. is it about   a different pLanet?


Mine these days seems much more  alien,

lacking in Peace and Clarity;

A disorganized, discontented, and often tatterdemalion 

place

with Malice for all

and Sympathy ,  Charity

or Grace

for none or at least very few,

be they Christian, Muslim, Hindu or Jew.


Whatever Religion or Belief,

it always seems to end in grief. 



Welcome to that place of Mirth,

Our  Planet....Earth.

    The House of Mirth is the fourth novel by Edith Wharton, published in 1905. It sold 140,000 copies between October and the end of December, adding to Wharton's existing fortune. The House of Mirth was written while Edith Wharton lived at The Mount, her home in Lenox, Massachusetts.
    Although The House of Mirth is written in the style of a novel of manners, set against the backdrop of 1890s New York upper-class society, it is considered American literary naturalism. Wharton places her tragic heroine, Lily Bart, in a society that she describes as a "hot-house of traditions and conventions".[1]

    Title[edit]

    The title derives from Ecclesiastes 7:4: The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.
