Hither and Yon

"'Allo Bard who you after?"
"There was a tapestry, an old one-where's it gone?"
"What tapestry are you talking about?"
"This one!"
Hilda Bianca: "They're were dwarves I tell you-'peared out of no where-full beards-fierce eyes. I've never seen the like!"
Fisherman 1: "What are dwarves doing in these parts?" 
Fisherman 2: "It's the prophecy"
Fisherman 1: "Prophecy?"
Fisherman 2: "The prophecy of Durin's Folk."
Bard: "Prophecy. Prophecy."
Durin Folk 1: "The old tales will come true-"
Durin Folk 2: "Vast, hopes of treasure!-"
Durin Folk 3: "Can it really be true?-"
Durin Folk 4: "The Lord of Silver Fountains-"
Bard: "The Lord of Silver Fountains. The King of Carvenstone-the King beneath the mountain-shall come into his own! And the bell shall ring in gladness-at the Mountain King's return, but all shall fail in sadness and the Lake will shine and burn.

Ed Sheeran "I See Fire"
"I See Fire"

Oh, misty eye of the mountain below
Keep careful watch of my brothers' souls
And should the sky be filled with fire and smoke
Keep watching over Durin's sons

If this is to end in fire
Then we should all burn together
Watch the flames climb high into the night

Calling out father oh
Stand by and we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on
The mountain side

And if we should die tonight
Then we should all die together
Raise a glass of wine for the last time

Calling out father oh
Prepare as we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on
The mountain side
Desolation comes upon the sky

Now I see fire
Inside the mountain
I see fire
Burning the trees
And I see fire
Hollowing souls
I see fire
Blood in the breeze
And I hope that you remember me

Oh, should my people fall
Then surely I'll do the same
Confined in mountain halls
We got too close to the flame

Calling out father oh
Hold fast and we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on
The mountain side
Desolation comes upon the sky

Now I see fire
Inside the mountain
I see fire
Burning the trees
I see fire
Hollowing souls
I see fire
Blood in the breeze
And I hope that you remember me

And if the night is burning
I will cover my eyes
For if the dark returns
Then my brothers will die
And as the sky is falling down
It crashed into this lonely town
And with that shadow upon the ground
I hear my people screaming out

Now I see fire
Inside the mountains
I see fire
Burning the trees
I see fire
Hollowing souls
I see fire
Blood in the breeze

I see fire (oh you know I saw a city burning out) (fire)
And I see fire (feel the heat upon my skin, yeah) (fire)
And I see fire (uh-uh-uh-uh) (fire)
And I see fire burn auburn on the mountain side

play a little kiss and tell
with poison pills
bitten in the valley of thirst
the body kills

i-i-i-i've got an ocean pearl
i-i-i see an open world
ocean pearl

you just have to whisper

promising the moon
if she dares to dream
make it true

i-i-i-i've got an ocean pearl
i-i-i see an open world
ocean pearl

it's what i wanted
cause i'm only going to this once
gonna wash me in your water
and put the "vive" back in "la difference"
yeah

i-i-i-i've got an ocean pearl
i-i-i-i'd die without my
ocean pearl

Electric Light Orchestra Last Train to London

It's always no it isn't.

The Shut-Eye Train

Come, mylittle one, with me!

There are wondrous sights to see

As the evening shadows fall;

In your pretty cap and gown,

Don't detain

The Shut-Eye train--

"Ting-a-ling!" the bell it goeth,

"Toot-toot!" the whistle bloweth,

And we hear the warning call:

"All aboard for Shut-Eye Town!"

Over hill and over plain

Soon will speed the Shut-Eye train!

Through the blue where bloom the stars 

And the Mother Moon looks down

We'll away

To land of Fay--

Oh, the sights that we shall see there!

Come, my little one, with me there--

'Tis a goodly train of cars--

All aboard for Shut-Eye Town!

Swifter than a wild bird's flight

Through the realms of fleecy light

We shall speed and speed away!

Let the Night in envy frown--

What care we

How wroth she be!

To the Balow-land above us,

To the Balow-folk who love us,

Let us hasten while we may--

All aboard for Shut-Eye Town!

Shut-Eye Town is passing fair--

Golden dreams await us there;

We shall dram those dreams, my dear,

Till the Mother Moon goes down--

See unfold

Delights untold!

And in those mysterious places

We shall see beloved faces

And beloved voices hear

In the grace of Shut-Eye Town,

Heavy are your eyes, my sweet,

Weary are your little feet--

Nestle closer up to me

In your pretty cap and gown;

Don't detain

The Shut-Eye Train!

"Ting-a-ling!" the bell it goeth,

"Toot-toot!" the whistle bloweth,

Oh, the sights that we shall see!

All aboard for Shut-Eye Town!

Poems of Childhood

I'm grateful today. My Son's don't drink.

The Wedding Ring

"Where to Mam?" 

"Figuero, Figuero and Temple"

"Yes, Mam"

"Edie's Bar, indian territory"

"Delorca's territory too Mam"

"The Family owned almost all that section in the old days, but that's the way it goes with the old families bit by bit they sell off the land, but I never would of thought I'd see the last of the Delorca's to the grave-that I didn't, and me with seven grandchildren, all boys"

"And his only son died"

"Mam?"

"I said Mr. Delorca's only son died"

"Mam there's been no child born or died in the Delorca family boy or girl that I know of"

"Huh, course that was twenty years ago"
"Twenty years ago Mam? It's been forty years or more I've been driving the Delorca family, if they'd had a child I'd a known about it"

"They never had a child, a boy, when they were first married?"

"They certainly did not Mam"

"Well perhaps they were away, when it happened"

"No, Mam that first year, the first 2 or 3 years, after they were married as I remember well, they never left here, Mr. Delorca said he's shifted around enough in the service to last him quite a while"

"Thank you very much."

"Your welcome Mam."

Shaekspeare's Sonnets

27

Weary with toil, I haste me to my bed,

The dear repose for limbs with travel tir'd;

But then begins a journey in my head

To work my mind, when body's works' expir'd:

For then my thoughts--from far where I abide--

Intend a zealous pilgrimage to thee,

And keep my drooping eyelids open wide,

Looking on  darkness which the blind do see;

Save that my soul's imaginary sight

Presents thy shadow to my sightless view,

Which, like a jewel hung in ghastly night,

Makes black night beauteous and her old face new.

Lo! thus, by day my limbs, by night my mind,

For thee, and for myself, no quiet find.

28

How can I then return in happy plight,

That am debarr'd the benefit of rest?

When day's oppression is not eas'd by night,

But day by night, and night by day oppress'd,

And each, though enemies to either's reign,

Do in consent shake hands to torture me,

The one by toil, the other to complain

How far I toil, still further off from thee.

I tell the day, to please him, thou art bright

And dost him grace when clouds do blot the heaven:

So flatter I the swart-complexion'd night,

When sparkling stars twire not thou gild'st the even.

But day doth daily draw my sorrows longer,

And night doth nightly make grief's strength seem stronger.

Life, n. A spiritual pickel preserving the body form decay. We live in daily apprehension of its loss; yet when lost it is not missed. The question, "Is life worth living?" has been much discussed; particularly by those who think it is not, many of whom have written at great lenght in support of their view and by careful observance of the laws of health enjoyed for long terms of years the honors of successful controversy. 

"Life's not worth living, and that's the truth,"

Carelessly caroled the golden youth,

In manhood still he maintatined that view

And held it more strongly the older he grew,

When kicked by a jackass at eighty-three,

"Go fetch me a surgeon at once!" cried he. 

Han Soper.

Devil's Dictionary by 

Ambrose Bierce

Hobson's Kiss

A DAILY DISCIPLINE

When they [self-examination , meditation and prayer] are logically related and interwove, the result is an unshakable foundation for life.

TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS p 98

The last tree steps of the program invoke God's loving discipline upon my willful nature. If I devote just a few moments every night ot a review of the highlights of my day, along with an acknowledgement of those aspects that didn't please me so much. I agin a personal history of myself, one that is essential to my journey into self-discover. I was able to note my growth, or lack of it, and to ask in prayerful meditation to be relieved of those continuing shortcomings that cause me pain. Meditation and prayer also teach me the art of focusing and listening. I find that the turmoil of the day gets tuned out as I pray for His will and guidance. The practice of asking Him to help me in my strivings for perfection puts a new slant on the tedium of any day, because I know there is honor in any job done well. The daily discipline of prayer and meditation will keep me in fit spiritual condition, able to face whatever the day brings--without the thought of a drink.

Focusing and Listening
There is a direct linkage among self-examination meditation, and prayer. Taken separately, these practices can bring much relief and benefit.
TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, p 98

If I do my self-examination first, then surely, I'll have enough humility to pray and meditate--because I'll see and feel my need for them. Some wish to begin an dend with prayer, leaving the self-examination and meditation to tak e place in between, whereas others start with meditation, listening for advise from God about their still hidden or unacknowledged defects. Still others engage in written and verbal work on their defects, ending with a prayer of praise and thanksgiving. These three--self-examination, meditation and prayer--form a circle, without a beginning or an end. No matter where, or how, I start, I eventually arrive at my destination: a better life.

Shakespeare's Sonnets

25

Let those who are in favour with their stars

Of public honour and proud titles boast, 

While I, whom fortune of such triumph bars,

Unlook'd for joy in that I honour most.

Great princes' favourites their fair leaves spread

But as the marigold at the sun's eye,

And in themselves their pride lies buried,

For at a frown they in their glory die.

The painful warrior famoused for fight,

After a thousand victories once foil'ed,

Is from the book of honour razed quite,

And all the rest forgot for which he toil'd:

Then happy I, that love and am belov'd,

Where I may not remove nor be remov'd.

26

Lord of my love, to whom in vassalage

Thy merit hath my duty strongly knit,

To thee I send this written ambassage,

To witness duty, no to show my wit:

Duty so great, which wit so poor as mine

May make seem bare, in wanting words to show it,

But that I hope some good conceit of thine

In thy soul's thought, all naked, will bestow it;

Till whatsoever star that guides my moving

Points on me graciously with fair aspect,

And puts apparel on my tatter'd loving,

To show me worthy of thy sweet respect:

Then may I dare to baost how I do love thee;

Till then, not show my head where thou mayst prove

me.
