Mei Lin's "cover+mashup" poem of Edna St Vincent Millay's poem: Upon our gifted age in our dark hour Falls from the sky a meteoric shower of stories of beauty and compassion that go unremarked and unrecognized Wisdom enough to nurture lives and grow joy is daily spun So let us conceive the loom to weave this wisdom into the fabric of our daily lives
Upon this gifted age, in its dark hour, Rains from the sky a meteoric shower, Of facts... they lie unquestioned, uncombined. Wisdom enough to leech us of our ill, Is daily spun; but there exists no loom, To weave it into fabric – Edna St Vincent Millay
