Okay, I couldn't post the bad news without posting some good news, too. This was in yesterday's Writers' Almanac, as it was the anniversary of the day that poets Robert Browning and Elizabeth Barrett Browning eloped:

"On the morning of June 29, 1861, as Elizabeth lay dying, Robert fed her jelly with a spoon. 'Our lives are held by God,' she said. A short time later, she died in his arms."

What more can you say of that?

It is quite picturesque.

Of all things, the Browning library is located in Waco.

Really? That's fascinating. Next time I'm near Waco, I'll have to drop by and check it out.
