Quoted in the Grove:
A fashionable milieu is one in which everybody’s is made up of the opinion of all the others. Has everybody a different opinion? Then it is a literary milieu.
~Marcel Proust
Literature is strewn with the wreckage of those who have minded beyond reason the opinions of others.
~Virginia Woolf
Nothing contributes more to peace of soul than having no opinion at all.
~Georg Christoph Lichtenberg

Posted from the Grove:
Honoring this newsletter’s annual tradition, this will be the last edition before the Wordgrove Post & Review goes on summer hiatus. This break gives the editor time to work on his current project. A twice monthly edition will appear on the 1st & 3rd Sun of each month during the three month break. Anyone interested in catching up on back issues can do so at: https://wordgrovepost.wordpress.com
WG’s weekly Word Games will continue thru’out the summer. Meeting notifications will go out to regular attendees (Tmail, not club mail) with details on the week’s Prewritten assignment and other events. Anyone not regularly attending who wishes to be included in this list please notify BarTalk
This would be a good time for those who want a part in keeping Wordgrove active during the break to schedule events of their own. Altho member houses are likely to be used, WG’s clubhouse is always available. Event hosts are welcome to redecorate Writers in Residence (Hermit 005) to suit their needs

Prewritten for Mon (06/17) 5 pm PT/8 ET is: carnival, chamber

~ReenRen: 1 out of 5 calls recorded
For those looking for a reason to be indignantly paranoid, link to a 50 second video with Shia LaBeouff on Jay Leno reporting his conversation with an FBI agent
Prewritten: science, whip
~Stejovis: a sonnet
Tho the mysteries fall one by one to the rigors of science, some escape; forever
~Piffin: Cricket Song
Send the Sun home, enter Dusk the twilight world with a glass of voluptuous red, languor’s nectar; a symphony of chirrs in chorus with a cool and benevolent moonlight to soothe away the weariness and the heedless hurt of friends
~BarTalk: haiku

Impromptu: shatterproof, beckon
~Hensonian: Shatterproof
The heart as a brilliant glass protected from love, boxed, in a cage, in a cave … grows dull; even armored, a delicate beauty dies without eyes to give it meaning
~Stejovis: Bits in a Bottle
All the memories of life jumbled in a bottle that holds only so much; ingredients in a recipe, memories like spices bubble to the surface releasing their fragrance, but only so many not to muddle the taste

I’d give up forever to touch you
Three quotes, each on love, three unquenchable thirstings; with a link to the Iris music video, containing the title lyrics
