We read a poem named, “Sweet and Low.” Seriously. But it was not about the fake type of sugar. (It was written before that was invented.) It was describing the western wind. I assure you, it was weird, but it was short at least.
Today we read about sad things in history. We read about the storming of Bastille and the rein of terror that followed. We also read about Catherine the great. She was really great. The guillotines of France were horrible. Sometimes when people get put in a position of power they get scared and accuse everyone around them of treason, it is sad.
