Welcome to Art & Verse! I’m Heather Arrington, and on January 14th, we’re celebrating:
- Albert Schweitzer (b. 1875), Nobel Prize-winning humanitarian and founder of a hospital in Africa.
- Faye Dunaway (b. 1941), acclaimed actress known for iconic films like Bonnie and Clyde and Network.
- Hugh Lofting (b. 1886), author of the beloved Dr. Doolittle series, enchanting readers with tales of a doctor who could talk to animals.
Today’s featured poem is “Hope is the Thing with Feathers” by Emily Dickinson, a timeless reflection on resilience and optimism, now in the public domain.
