...most wonderful aspect of the night for me was the support and enthusiasm of the fans not only for the team, but for us, the band. As the third period drew to an end and the balcony of the arena was barren, nothing felt better than to look below and see a slew of Harvard fans screaming for the band to join them in a unified effort to cheer on our team. We did join them, and after security made us move (we had parked ourselves right behind the B.C. team), the fans moved with...
That conviction is what sustains the pilgrims as they toil up the barren, vertiginous slopes from the Great Rift Valley to the high, dusty plain where Axum lies. Many began their journey on the Julian New Year, back in September; even if one can afford to fly or drive, it is unseemly not to walk.

They scan too well, betraying too much of youthful impression-ability. Stevens endured nine barren years after graduation before, happily, returning to poetry...
...Spain, loving and tender toward her young husband Juan, and desiring nothing more than to have a child; it's a desire which has remained unfulfilled for the first two years of their marriage. As time passes and Yerma's age mates become pregnant and bear children, Yerma remains barren, "empty." Her desire for a baby becomes an obsession, her infertility a trauma that begins to blur the boundaries between psychological and physical pain until it becomes an unbearable torment to her ("Every woman has enough blood inside her for three or four children," she says despairingly...
