JULY THIRTY-FIRST

JULY THIRTIETH

When I arose and saw the dawn,

I sighed for thee;

When light rode high, and the dew was gone,

And noon lay heavy on flower and tree,

And the weary Day turned to his rest,

Lingering like an unloved guest,

I sighed for thee.

To Night

Percy Bysshe Shelley

Linkblog πŸ”—: David Harewood on Blackface - a shocking, deeply moving piece of television

"A little discomfort is a price worth paying to see Harewood, Lester, Linton and Olusoga speak truth to power on the same channel that was once broadcasting minstrels into their living rooms."

Great catch by Ben Stokes to end the day and Australia’s innings 🏏
