  1. All of us do time in the gutter....dreamers learn to look at the stars.
  2. I need to get my blonde on. What do you need?
  3. They're amazing. If you like scifi and fantasy and have any interest in Celtic and Irish mythology then you will love them!! The series is called The Keltiad, Fantastic books! The Celtic mythology aspect is so well done! She uses so many Gaelic words and phrases in the story that there's a glossary in the back of the books so you can follow. I absolutely adored them!! Found the Gaelic stuff so fascinating that I bought a set of language tapes and tried to teach myself conversational Gaelic.
  4. Anyone else read Patricia Kennealy-Morrison's amazing scifi/fantasy books?
  5. Good on you for throwing Michael Moorcock in there! He's great!
  6. O Captain! My Captain! Walt Whitman O CAPTAIN! my Captain! our fearful trip is done The ship has weather'd every rack, the prize we sought is won The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting, While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring But O heart! heart! heart! O the bleeding drops of red, Where on the deck my Captain lies, Fallen cold and dead. O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells Rise up—for you the flag is flung—for you the bugle trills For you bouquets and ribbon'd wreaths—for you the shores a-crowding For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning Here Captain! dear father! This arm beneath your head It is some dream that on the deck, You've fallen cold and dead. My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will The ship is anchor'd safe and sound, its voyage closed and done From fearful trip, the victor ship, comes in with object won Exult, O shores, and ring, O bells! But I, with mournful tread, Walk the deck my Captain lies, Fallen cold and dead. Well done!!
  7. from A Midsummer Night's Dream Act V, Scene 1 If we shadows have offended, Think but this and all is mended - That you have but slumb'red here While these visions did appear. And this weak and idle theme, No more yielding than a dream. Gentles, do not reprehend. If you pardon, we will mend. And, as I am an honest Puck, If we have unearned luck Now to scape the serpent's tongue, We will make amends ere long; Else the Puck a liar call So, good night unto you all. Give me your hands if we be friends, And Robin shall restore amends. -- William Shakespeare One of my favorites of Shakespeare's. Incidentally, some of you might remember that the character Neal performs this soliloquy during a performance of the play in the movie Dead Poet's Society.
  8. excerpt from Ode: Intimations of Immortality Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting: The soul that rises with us our life's Star, Hath had elsewhere its setting And cometh from afar: Not in entire forgetfulness, And not in utter nakedness, But trailing clouds of glory do we come From God, who is our home: Heaven lies about us in our infancy! Shades of the prison-house begin to close Upon the growing Boy, But he beholds the light, and whence it flows, He sees it in his joy; The Youth, who daily farther from the east Must travel, still is Nature's Priest, And by the vision splendid Is on his way attended; At length the Man perceives it die away, And fade into the light of common day. -- William Wordsworth
  9. Song She sat and sang alway By the green margin of a stream Watching the fishes leap and play Beneath the glad sunbeam. I sat and wept away Beneath the moon's most shadowy beam, Watching the blossoms of the May Weap leaves into the stream. I wept for memory She sang for hop that is so fair: My tears were swallowed by the sea; Her songs died on the air. -- Christina Rosetti
  10. "They picked the golden flowers. The flowers that flooded the world, dripped off lawns onto brick streets, tapped softly at crystal cellar windows and agitated themselves so that on all sides lay the dazzle and glitter of molten sun." -- Ray Bradbury, Dandelion Wine
  11. Stromboli. So good! I ordered a small and it's still as big as a house. I'll be eating it for lunch all week long.
