There's a reason some people win the Pulitzer Prize

Wow! Pearls Before Breakfast from the Washington Post. From the article:

The poet Billy Collins once laughingly observed that all babies are born with a knowledge of poetry, because the lub-dub of the mother's heart is in iambic meter. Then, Collins said, life slowly starts to choke the poetry out of us. It may be true with music, too.

It's the sort of article that maybe, just maybe, can change a life.
