a typical ploy.
We were great fools let loose in the No Name bar
on Sausalito's bay.
In San Francisco we'd perch on a wa...Read more of this...

Hosannah to the royal Son
Of David's ancient line!
His natures two, his person one,
Mysterious and divine.
The root of David here, we find,
And offspring is the same:

Of dancing water under a torrent of light;
And the purer part of the genius of Jean Rousseau
Was the silent music of all we ...Read more of this...
