He kindly stopped for me --
The carriage held but just ourselves
And immortality."

| 2. Do you mean Brewster McLoud? |
|
Brewster is an owlish, intellectual boy who lives in a fallout shelter of the Houston Astrodome. He has a dream: to take flight within the confines of the stadium. Brewster tells those he trusts of his dream, but displays a unique way of treating others who do not fit within his plans. When the fateful day arrives, and he enters the dome with his fanciful construction of bird wings, Brewster is surrounded by the police. Will he be caught before he attempts to fly?
Along with Bud Cort, it stars Shelly Duvall and Stacy Keach.
Huh? Aren't I clever?

About 90% of Emily Dickinson poems can be sung to the tune of "The Yellow Rose of Texas."
Go ahead. Try it.
...I've ruined Emily Dickinson for so-o-o many people by imparting that little bit of knowledge.
