Live Art
The great painter
paints the baker’s sign
the great sculptor
designs a car
the great architect
designs the president’s
house
the great poet
writes popular songs
the great musician
writes music for
the poet’s song
a civilized population
lives
in the midst of its art.

100 Years Ago
On December 15, 1910, Norwegian Roald Amudsen’s party reached the South Pole. They left a note and mittens for Robert F. Scott’s party who had yet to arrive. They ate most of their sled dogs and returned home safely.
Robert F. Scott’s party had no dogs to eat and died of starvation on their way home, less than 20 miles from food.
