A grey cloudy day is sad and dull
Or is it one of soft dreamings?
Sunshine days mean happiness
Or are they cruel lights?
Stairways to heaven
Or obstacles?
Walls mean stop
Or care?
Glass?

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Like you, I'm online before our friends on the other side of the Atlantic. I'm working on the Monday Mural for today's poem.
I like the way you have stepped this poem and posed the the antithetical questions. I'm currently studying Yeats; otherwise I'd never have thought of it in terms of thesis and antithesis.
Greyscale, I am sorry for the confusion on what time I will be posting each day. I am on a -5 GMT and will post everyday in April at 8am, my time. I hope that helps. The post for today will be up in about 12 more minutes if you would like to stop by.
I love your nonet. The questions you pose are very good. I think you are off to a good start this April. Have a nice day.
