Thou art a sparke
Yn the darke
And my weedes
Have caughte all a-flame
Wolde thou koude feele
What Ich feele
Whanne a person sayeth thy name
Ich am a cart
Fallinge ovir the ramparts
To burste and breake
And Ich wante thee more

On this date in 1891, the saints used to name Toronto's wards were replaced with numbers. The saints would endure in the names of ridings and TTC stations.

Gould all in black. He’s leaning back in a wooden chair, & he’s only wearing one shoe.

I found a gem - from 1966. Gould & Menuhin playing Bach. Two of the greatest musicians that ever lived.

More than half a million Americans registered or updated their registration in 1 day last week. That’s what happens when people refuse to let Trump, his EOs, or voter-suppression games decide who gets a voice.
Check your status, make a plan, and vote blue. #BlueWaveIn40Days
