Culture Club

[Valley Oak]

Hello everyone. How about if we have lively conversations about our favorite books, poems, musical lyrics, or other forms of literature? You can pick any book you please for discussion and new insights from other folks who have also read it or will benefit from your recommendations.

Some of my favorite books are "War and Peace" by Leo Tolstoy, "The Count of Monte Cristo" by Alexander Dumas, "Mrs. Dalloway" by Virginia Woolf, and many others.

Do you have a favorite book or poem, etc, that you would like to share?

Here is a poem that I have loved over the years. Does anyone know who the author is?


Tears on the outside fall on the ground and are slowly swept away

Tears on the inside fall on the soul and stay, and stay, and stay

[Shandi]

My research indicates that the author is anonymous:
