I went to the concert on Monday November 19th‚ 2012 titled “An Evening of Art Song and Opera”. The concert overall I felt was put together well and the singers Lori Hultgren‚ and Kyle Engler did a very good job singing each opera song.

“little” shows the speaker as an ordinary citizen who lives an ordinary and simple life with not so many luxuries.

WHEN I WAS TWENTY years of age I went through an evening with Howard Nemerov. He was the main "renowned" writer I had ever met‚ however I would later discover that he was profoundly disillusioned by what he saw to be an absence of admiration from commentators and different artists.
