A Great Way to Start the Day: Literary Jukebox

Maria Popova from brainpickings.org has a great side project called Literary Jukebox.  She picks a song and a quote from a book that have thematic similarities.  Today's selection is "Do I Move You" by Nina Simone and "Sky Song" by Robert Desnos.  This is a great way to glean inspiration and discover some great literature as well as fantastic music.  Head on over and see what's up.
