interesting connection

I've loved this poem since I was in middle school, and it reminds me so much of Timeheart (especially the last two lines) that I figured someone else here might appreciate it.

from Madeleine L'Engle's A Ring of Endless Light:

The earth will never be the same again.
Rock, water, tree, iron share this grief
As distant stars participate in pain.
A candle snuffed, a falling star or leaf,
A dolphin death, O this particular loss
Is Heaven-mourned; for if no angel cried,
If this small one was tossed away as dross,
The very galaxies then would have lied.
How shall we sing our love's song now
In this strange land where all are born to die?
Each tree and leaf and star show how
The universe is part of this one cry,
That every life is noted and cherished,
And nothing loved is ever lost or perished.

I had something up here earlier with a question/remark about Tom and Carl’s names, and in response allasomething pointed me towards the ( IMDB page ) of the real Tom Swale. In trying to edit the original post to include the link I accidentally deleted it (which is what happens when I’m not paying attention/have several windows going at once and click the wrong button), so I thought I’d do a new entry just because it’s a cool thing to see.

Plus he wrote on a Scooby-Doo series, which is cool in it’s own right and totally something I could see the YW!verse Tom doing.
