to bobby, about a very little sphinx...

a google search will tell you that it is the title of a cycle of I believe 7 poems written for young people by Edna St. Vincent Millay...

as to why I chose the name, that part is not so well deciferable, perhaps a trip to the library or bookstore will illucidate things.

Well, look what the cat dragged up! I was just about ready to take the flags down and go home and lo' and behold it's my pal with the mysterious name. I'll have to research that name. Did something good happen today? You sound much better for some reason. Hey i read the lyrics about a departed father on above post. It must have been(and probably still is) hard for you to lose your dad at such a young age. I really feel for you there sphinx. I hope to be there for my children--so i gotta stop smoking and eat right. Though i like to think there's a better place.

Ah--a literary mystery. You are intriguing! You might have just piqued my curiosity, too.

I am totally unfamiliar with Edna St. Vincent Millay, I'm ashamed to say. My knowledge of any classics is limited, and poetry is hard for me.

But hmmm...I might have to take a look at Ms. Millay's work.
