nypl: Chowder channels his inner Patience, while researching recipes for Roast Turkey. This little cat resides with one of our colleagues here at the Library, and is a perfect representative of a new project.  Share a pic of your own little lion striking their best library pose - Patience and Fortitude style - and we’ll  post it on our Pinterest board, “Little Lions“…  After all, there’s no reason why our pets shouldn’t show their support for the Library as well!  (Don’t forget to tag your picture “Little Lion”, so we can find it!)

"Rise, like lions after slumber,
In unvanquishable number,
Shake your chains to earth like dew,
Which in sleep had fall’n on you"

—

From “The Masque of Anarchy” by Percy Bysshe Shelley. First published in 1832, three years after Shelley’s death, the poem seems newly relevant in the Occupy Wall Street / Arab Spring era. You can read the full poem here to see what we mean.

Learn more about Shelley by visiting the exhibition “Shelley’s Ghost” at the Library through June.

Happy National Poetry Month!
