Yes indeed!

Sunday, November 4th is the birthday of humorist Will Rogers<\/a>, journalist Walter Cronkite<\/a>, comedienne Kathy Griffin<\/a> and actor Matthew McConaughey<\/a>.\r\n\r\nWilliam Cullen Bryant’s most famous work is Thanatopsis<\/a>, a meditation on death. After writing the poem at age 17, he returned to it more than 20 years later and added some final lines:\r\n\r\n[stextbox id=”custom”]So live, that when thy summons comes to join\r\nThe innumerable caravan, which moves\r\nTo that mysterious realm, where each shall take\r\nHis chamber in the silent halls of death,\r\nThou go not, like the quarry-slave at night,\r\nScourged to his dungeon, but, sustained and soothed\r\nBy an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave\r\nLike one who wraps the drapery of his couch\r\nAbout him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.[\/stextbox]","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
