Anna Despoena Seraphimidou ’61

Mistily,

I remember from college,

long afternoons in the library

the smell of musty books,

winters with waist high snow

and drifts blocking the doors,

a magical sunrise after a thaw

trees shimmering crystal branches,

green lawns and tea time,

swims in the lake,

crew and canoeing ,

and rolling the hoops.

And most clearly of all,

I remember

the intellectual challenge,

the sense of the brain

stretching, stretching

to reach the stars.
