From childhood's hour I have not been
As others were -- I have not seen
As others saw -- I could not bring
My passions from a common spring --
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow -- I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone --
And all I lov'd -- I lov'd alone --
Then -- in my childhood -- in the dawn
Of a most stormy life -- was drawn
From ev'ry depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still --
From the torrent, or the fountain --
From the red cliff of the mountain --
From the sun that 'round me roll'd
In its autumn tint of gold --
From the lightning in the sky
As it pass'd me flying by --
From the thunder, and the storm --
And the cloud that took the form
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)
Of a demon in my view --

Radical Fun is coming in hot — our art show-meets-spectacle is crashing onto the scene soon, and it’s bringing The Grape Rebellion with it. We’re talking boundary-pushing visuals, bold voices, and a wine bar in a damn vault.
Get ready to sip something subversive, soak in the electricity, and celebrate the opening of a space where rebellion tastes like cab sauv and looks like a molotov cocktail of creative fury. Witness the witnessing on May 10th, at 139 Main Street, Beacon, NY.
