Good Morning Digital Neighbors and Friends! Happy Monday fellow travelers and explorers of the inter-webs! A few days ago I thought I came across a poem by e e cummings, but it in fact turned out to be Erin Hanson. Not familiar with her at all but I think I have seen her stuff floating around the internet for a few years now. I saw more of it on Pintrest before I dumped that platform.

Never close with his father or brother, Voltaire exhibited a rebellious attitude toward authority from his youth. His brilliant mind was fostered in the care of the Society of Jesus, who introduced him to the joys of literature and theater. Despite his later criticisms against the Church, Voltaire, throughout his life, fondly recalled his dedicated Jesuit teachers.
Although he spent time as a civil servant in the French embassy to the Hague, Voltaire’s main love was writing—an endeavor where he excelled in various genres, including poetry, which led to his appointment as the royal court poet for King Louis XV.
