The white moths flutter about the lamp,             Enamoured with light; And a thousand creates softly sing             A song to the night! But I am alone, and how can I sing             Praises to thee? Come, Night! unveil the beautiful soul             That waiteth for me. —“A Summer Night” by Elizabeth Drew Stoddard This edition of the MIT Daily was brought to you by communing with nature on a MISTI adventure. 🦌 Thanks for reading, and have a lovely weekend! —MIT News Forward This Email Subscribe This email was sent to rh3252705.ikut@blogger.com because of your affiliation with MIT, or because you signed up for our newsletters. subscribe update preferences unsubscribe view in browser MIT News Office · 77 Massachusetts Avenue · Cambridge, MA 02139 · USA
