There's a certain slant of light

Emily Dickinson
There's a certain slant of light,
On winter afternoons,
That oppresses, like the weight
Of cathedral tunes.
Heavenly hurt it gives us;
We can find no scar,
But internal difference
Where the meanings are.
None may teach it anything,
'T is the seal, despair,--
An imperial affliction
Sent us of the air.
When it comes, the landscape listens,
Shadows hold their breath;
When it goes, 't is like the distance
On the look of death.
from The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson(Little, Brown, 1924), available online at Bartleby.com.

****HUMAN RIGHTS CAMPAIGN INTERNSHIP****
Posted on December 21, 2007 2:23 PM |Permalink |Comments (0)
This from a recent UMBC Alum and Media Studies Certificate student:
I'm just finishing up an internship with the Human Rights Campaign and they are searching for a new intern. I was hoping you could pass along this opportunity to those you think might be interested. I've spent the last six months here and it's a great place to work. They have a fully outfitted production studio. You learn multiple aspects of production and post-production (learn to use Avid Adrenaline!) with a lot of hands-on experience, all while contributing to a great non-profit group. Charlie Nordstrom, the Media Center coordinator, has been a good teacher and a lot of fun to work with. Below is a link for more information about the internship and how to apply. Generally they target undergraduates, but also take recent grads.
