Welcome to Such Sweet Things!
Hi, I’m Sandra! A recent college graduate from St. Michael’s College. In May of 2018, I received my Bachelor’s Degree in English with a minor in Media Studies. My writing here is about the things that I’ve done, the experiences I’ve had, and the beautiful places that I’ve seen. I’m a lover of such sweet things in life – and the not so sweet, so follow to find out more. Thank you!
“Now I am terrified at the Earth, it is that calm and patient,
It grows such sweet things out of such corruptions,
It turns harmless and stainless on its axis, with such endless
successions of diseas’d corpses,
successions of diseas’d corpses,
It distills such exquisite winds out of such infused fetor,
It renews with such unwitting looks its prodigal, annual, sumptu-
ous crops,
ous crops,
It gives such divine materials to men, and accepts such leavings
from them at last.”
from them at last.”
– From Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman
