So was I once myself a swinger of birches.
And so I dream of going back to be.
It's when I'm weary of considerations,
And life is too much like a pathless wood
Where your face burns and tickles with the cobwebs
Broken across it, and one eye is weeping
From a twig's having lashed across it open.
I'd like to get away from earth awhile
And then come back to it and begin over.
May no fate willfully misunderstand me
And half grant what I wish and snatch me away
Not to return. Earth's the right place for love:
I don't know where it's likely to go better.
I'd like to go by climbing a birch tree
And climb black branches up a snow-white trunk
Toward heaven, till the tree could bear no more,
But dipped its top and set me down again.
That would be good both going and coming back.
One could do worse than be a swinger of birches.

**The two profiles below came from my picking a particular piece of artwork, and an analysis based on that. True to form, I couldn't decide between two, so I picked both. *s* **
Romantic ~ Dreamy ~ Emotional
You are a very sensitive person. You refuse to view things only from
a sober, rational standpoint. What your feelings tell you is just
as important to you. In fact, you feel it is important to have
dreams in life, too.
You reject people who scorn romanticism and are guided only
by rationality. You refuse to let anything confine the rich variety of
your moods and emotions.
Introspective ~ Sensitive ~ Reflective
You come to grips more frequently and thoroughly with yourself
and your environment than do most people. You detest superficiality;
you'd rather be alone than have to suffer through small talk. But
your relationships with your friends are very strong, which gives
you the inner tranquility and harmony that you require. You do not
mind being alone for extended periods of time; you rarely become bored.

Section 1: How You Approach Life and How You Appear To Others You have a sensible and realistic outlook on life and your
two feet are always planted firmly on the ground (though you
may, on occasion, have your head in the clouds). Others often
see you as a rock of strength, solid, reliable, dependable, and
constant. You are, in fact, amazingly consistent for you possess
great powers of endurance and do not like to make changes or
adjustments in your regular routine. You do things deliberately
and methodically and do not easily accommodate the unexpected.
Though you have a gentle, even soft, appearance, you are
enormously strong-willed and stubborn. You go at your own pace
and refuse to be rushed or pushed into anything before you feel
sure about it. You can be coaxed and persuaded by charm, beauty,
love, or affection - but never forced. You won't fight either,
but simply stubbornly resist any attempt to coerce you to do
something you do not want to do.
When you have a purpose, you are extremely fixed, immovable,
and bull-headed about it. Your obstinance is often infuriating
to others, especially since it takes much provocation to make
you flare up or respond to their anger. You appear calm,
unruffled, and nonemotional most of the time, but behind your
easygoing and peaceable appearance there lies great strength.
When it comes to a contest of wills, you often win simply due to
your relentless persistence, your ability to outlast just about
anyone. Another reason for your slowness to make changes is your
very strong need for security. You are most comfortable in
stable, relatively unchanging conditions and you also have a
strong desire for tangible security - a home of your own, money
in the bank, job-security, etc. The other side of your
steadiness is that you easily get caught in a rut and will stay
in a familiar situation (be it job, marriage, or whatever) long
after it has lost its vitality and interest.
You have a keen appreciation of the natural world and get
much happiness from simple creature comforts and the physical
world, with all of its myriad delights. You are quite sensual in
a very natural, wholesome way and you know how to enjoy
yourself. You are appealing to the opposite sex in an earthy
way. You are also a great lover of beauty and your tastes are
basically conventional or classic - not modern.
Section 2: The Inner You: Your Real Motivation
You are a steadfast and patient soul, capable of tremendous
devotion, dedication, endurance, and constancy. The ability to
follow through and stick with things is one of your greatest
assets. Once your course is set, you pursue it tenaciously until
it is completed, stubbornly resisting any attempts to sway you
from your purpose.
You have a very practical nature and want to see concrete,
tangible results for your efforts, and you are not one for
spinning wild dreams that are unlikely to come into fruition.
Most of your "wild dreams" have to do with material
achievements, well-being, and security, for you have a great
love of the physical world and you want to experience and enjoy
it to the full. Though you will work long and persistently, you
also have a strong sensual and comfort-loving side, and you want
to enjoy what you have worked for. In fact, you can be
enormously lazy at times and have a tendency to overindulge in
good food and other earthly pleasures. You also love the beauty
of the natural world and probably prefer a serene country
setting rather than an urban life style.
At heart your needs are simple and you are easy to please.
You have a strong desire for security, stability, and peace, and
will rarely make changes unless you are forced to do so. You are
not very demanding emotionally, though you do crave lots of
physical closeness and affection. Because of your faithfulness,
emotional steadiness, and gentle strength, others often depend
upon you for support. Though you hate upheaval and sudden
changes, you usually maintain your poise and equanimity. You
also have an innate sense of harmonizing with nature, allowing
things to grow and unfold in their own time, and the patience to
nurture something into being - be it a garden, a child, or some
creative project. You make an excellent mother or father,
especially if you follow your instincts more often than "the
experts".
You have three major faults: one is your bull-headed
obstinacy. The second is your unwillingness to deviate from your
safe, predictable routine. And the third is your tendency to
always insist upon realism and undervalue the imaginative,
speculative, and fanciful - in other words, you lack the ability
to play with ideas and possibilities, to open your mind to the
new.
**First Name Analysis**
Your first name of Lark has given you energy, drive, and ambition, but also an almost excessively strong-willed and independent
nature. While you are creative, inventive, and ingenious in practical matters, and always ready to initiate and promote new
undertakings, you often experience difficulty in bringing your undertakings to a successful conclusion because of your own
changing interests or changing circumstances. You become intensely involved with everything you plan to do, but the stress arising
from frustrating obstacles or misunderstandings with others could prompt you to be intolerant and sarcastic in your expression,
with breakdowns in congenial relations with family and friends a possible end result. Any emotional outbursts or moods would
register as tension in your solar plexus, resulting in nervous indigestion and related problems. Tension could also centre in the head
affecting the eyes, ears, sinuses, or teeth. True relaxation and peace of mind are elusive under this name. ~ www.kabalarians.com
