Welcome To The RC

 

RC students in the world

RC Instructor Janet Hegman Shier is escorting her class on a study trip to Berlin this spring, where they'll attend theater and visit many cultural and historic sites. Each student will keep a journal of the trip, but the class is also keeping a "live" blog. Follow it here.

Love, We're Going Home Now

Love, we're going home now,
Where the vines clamber over the trellis:
Even before you, the summer will arrive,
On its honeysuckle feet, in your bedroom.

Our nomadic kisses wandered over all the world:
Armenia, dollop of disinterred honey:
Ceylon, green dove: and the YangTse with its old
Old patience, dividing the day from the night.

And now, dearest, we return, across the crackling sea
Like two blind birds to their wall,
To their nest in a distant spring:

Because love cannot always fly without resting,
Our lives return to the wall, to the rocks of the sea:
Our kisses head back home where they belong.
-- Pablo Neruda

 Please join the RC faculty, staff, current students, alumni and the incoming RC class of 2017 as we read Pablo Neruda's Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair, this year's RC Community Summer Read.
