However, to your point, wouldn't it be nice if all blogging/tweets/txts fell as softly on the eye as-- "The foolish fears of what might happen. I cast them all away Among the clover-scented grass, Among the new-mown hay, Among the husking of the corn, Where drowsy poppies nod Where ill thoughts die and good are born— Out in the fields with God." Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Wishful thinking on my part.

Where drowsy poppies nod
Where ill thoughts die and good are born—
Out in the fields with God.”
