Modern Educayshun


I wonder which of these two short films  is less frightening:


This one: 









Or this one:










On reflection I think the second one is less frightening, because in its very last frame it brings us that little thing with feathers....Emily Dickinson wrote a poem about it: 








 

“Hope’ is the thing with feathers” 







“Hope” is the thing with feathers —
That perches in the soul —
And sings the tune without the words —
And never stops — at all —




And sweetest — in the Gale — is heard —
And sore must be the storm —
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm —




I’ve heard it in the chillest land —
And on the strangest Sea —
Yet, never, in Extremity,
It asked a crumb — of Me.
