Beloved, gaze in thine own heart The holy tree is growing there From joy the holy branches start And all the trembling flowers they bear The changing colours of its fruit Have dowered the stars with merry light The surety of its hidden root Has planted quiet in the night The shaking of its leafy head Has given the waves their melody And made my lips and music wed Murmuring a wizard song for thee There the Loves a circle go The flaming circle of our days Gyring, spiring to and fro In those great ignorant leafy ways Remembering all that shaken hair And how the winged sandals dart Thine eyes grow full of tender care Beloved, gaze in thine own heart
Gaze no more in the bitter glass The demons, with their subtle guile Lift up before to when they pass Or only gaze a little while For there a fatal image grows That the stormy night receives Roots half hidden under snows Broken boughs and blackened leaves
For all thing turn to barenness In the dim glass the demons hold The glass of outer weariness Made when God slept in times of old There, through the broken branches, go The ravens of unresting thought Flying, crying, to and fro Cruel claw and hungry throat Or else they stand and sniff the wind And shake their ragged wings: alas! Thy tender eyes grow all unkind Gaze no more in the bitter glass
Beloved, gaze in thine own heart The holy tree is growing there From joy and holy branches start And all the trembling flowers they bear Remembering all that shaken hair And how the winged sandals dart Thine eyes grow full of tender care Beloved, gaze in thine own heart
I'm sorry. Were I there, I'd make you baked apples and cinnamon toast. Doesn't make the suckiness go away, but it is tasty. Maybe a hot toddy, too. Gangsta kitty agrees.
Um... want to hear a joke? That's about all I'm good for.
A man, wearing very tight pants (esp. in the crotchular area and yes, I just made that up) goes into the pharmacy. He wanders around, trying to be casual and finally gets up the nerve to approach the pharmacist, a no-nonsense older lady. "Yes, young man?" He stammers a bit. "Do you, ah, do you have... er, Viagra here?" She nods slowly. He finally gets up the nerve to go on. "Can I, ah, get it over the counter?" he asks. The pharmacist takes off her glasses, studying him. Finally she looks down at his crotch and nods thoughtfully. "Maybe after seven or eight."
My dentist told me this! I embellished it but you get the idea.

Date: 2007-02-15 06:22 pm (UTC)Beloved, gaze in thine own heart
The holy tree is growing there
From joy the holy branches start
And all the trembling flowers they bear
The changing colours of its fruit
Have dowered the stars with merry light
The surety of its hidden root
Has planted quiet in the night
The shaking of its leafy head
Has given the waves their melody
And made my lips and music wed
Murmuring a wizard song for thee
There the Loves a circle go
The flaming circle of our days
Gyring, spiring to and fro
In those great ignorant leafy ways
Remembering all that shaken hair
And how the winged sandals dart
Thine eyes grow full of tender care
Beloved, gaze in thine own heart
Gaze no more in the bitter glass
The demons, with their subtle guile
Lift up before to when they pass
Or only gaze a little while
For there a fatal image grows
That the stormy night receives
Roots half hidden under snows
Broken boughs and blackened leaves
For all thing turn to barenness
In the dim glass the demons hold
The glass of outer weariness
Made when God slept in times of old
There, through the broken branches, go
The ravens of unresting thought
Flying, crying, to and fro
Cruel claw and hungry throat
Or else they stand and sniff the wind
And shake their ragged wings: alas!
Thy tender eyes grow all unkind
Gaze no more in the bitter glass
Beloved, gaze in thine own heart
The holy tree is growing there
From joy and holy branches start
And all the trembling flowers they bear
Remembering all that shaken hair
And how the winged sandals dart
Thine eyes grow full of tender care
Beloved, gaze in thine own heart
