(New to) Great Regulars: This week we pair "Veil"

with an excerpt from the Dec. 14, 2009, Metropolitan Diary column. (Metropolitan Diary is a weekly feature to which Times readers submit anecdotes about life in New York City.)

Read both and tell us what you think--or suggest other Times content that could be paired with the poem instead.

from Katherine Schulten: The New York Times: Poetry Pairing
