No sun - no moon! No morn - no noon -
No dawn - no dusk - no proper time of day.
No warmth, no cheerfulness, no healthful ease,
No comfortable feel in any member -
No shade, no shine, no butterflies, no bees,
No fruits, no flowers, no leaves, no birds,
November!

Es tan corto el amor, y tan largo el olvido.
(Love is so short, and forgetting is so long.)
|
Don’t worry about a thing,
’cause every little thing gonna be all right.

O would some power the giftie gie us to see ourselves as others see us.
(O would some power the gift to give us to see ourselves as others see us.)

What though the radiance which was once so bright
Be not forever taken from my sight,
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;
Grief not, rather find,
Strength in what remains behind,
In the primal sympathy
Which having been must ever be,
In the soothing thoughts that spring
Out of Human suffering,
In the faith that looks through death
In years that bring philophic mind.
|
Music, when soft voices die,
Vibrates in the memory;
Odors, when sweet violets sicken,
Live within the sense they quicken.
|
No one worth possessing
Can be quite possessed.
|
Candy
Is dandy
But liquor
Is quicker.
|
If you lose money you lose much,
If you lose friends you lose more,
If you lose faith you lose all.
|
And come he slow, or come he fast,
It is but death who comes at last.
|
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery,
None but ourselves can free our minds.
|
There is no greater sorrow
Than to be mindful of the happy time
In misery.
|
Through me you pass into the city of woe:
Through me you pass into eternal pain:
Through me among the people lost for aye.
Justice the founder of my fabric moved:
To rear me was the task of power divine,
Supremest wisdom, and primeval love.
Before me things create were none, save things
Eternal, and eternal I shall endure.
All hope abandon, ye who enter here.
|
Avarice, envy, pride,
Three fatal sparks, have set the hearts of all
On Fire.

(KJV)
|
(i do not know what it is about you that closes
and opens; only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
|
I make the most of all that comes,
And the least of all that goes.
|

When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.
(KJV)
|
Cease, every joy, to glimmer on my mind,
But leave---oh! leave the light of Hope behind.
|
So many Gods, so many creeds
So many ways that wind and wind,
While just the art of being kind
is all this sad world needs.
|
The fog comes
on little cat feet.
It sits looking
over harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then moves on.
|
Cowardice asks the question - is it safe?
Expediency asks the question - is it politic?
Vanity asks the question - is it popular?
But conscience asks the question - is it right?
And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular; but one must take it because it is right.
|
To all, to each, a fair good night,
And pleasing dreams, and slumbers light.
|

Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
(KJV)

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A DOE
Unbearably lovely music is heard as the curtain rises, and we see the woods on a summer afternoon. A fawn dances on and nibbles slowly at some leaves. He drifts lazily through the soft foliage. Soon he starts coughing and drops dead.
|
Oh what a tangled web we weave,
When first we practise to deceive!
|
James 5:12:
Above all, my brothers and sisters, do not swear – not by heaven or by earth or by anything else. All you need to say is a simple 'Yes' or 'No.' Otherwise you will be condemned.

But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.
