Beautiful Poem

Let us walk in the white snow
In a soundless space;
With footsteps quiet and slow,
At a tranquil pace,
Under veils of white lace.

I shall go shod in silk
And you in wool,
White as white cow's milk,
More beautiful
Than the breast of a gull.

We shall walk through the still town
In a windless peace;
We shall step upon white down,
Upon silver fleece,
Upon softer than these.

We shall walk in velvet shoes;
Wherever we go
Silence will fall lika dews
On white silence below.
We shall walk in the snow.

                                               a poem by Elinor Wyle


The message of this poet is trying to get across is that if the people take care of their world it will protect, shelter and nurture them. That's only if they do not go around destroying it. The poem has a very quiet mood and creates a soft, gentle image in the readers mind.

Basuki: Beda "Dong" Bang Yos dengan Kami

Mendapat kritikan dari mantan Gubernur DKI Jakarta Sutiyoso, Wagub DKI Basuki Tjahaja Purnama menanggapinya santai. Menurut dia, Jokowi-Basuki dipilih rakyat, sementara Sutiyoso tidak.

"Bang Yos kan tidak dipilih secara langsung, ya dulu enggak perlu blusukan, cuma perlu ke DPRD saja. Kalau sekarang kan dipilih langsung, jadi beda dong. Era Bang Yos kan bukan pemilihan langsung, kalau DPRD dulu beda, masih wajarlah Pak Gubernur," kata pria yang akrab disapa Ahok itu di Balaikota DKI Jakarta, Senin (19/11/2012).

Karena dipilih rakyat langsung, tutur Basuki, wajar jika Jokowi blusukan ke kampung-kampung. Hal itu untuk lebih mendekatkan pemimpin dengan warganya.
