"Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat." -- Theodore Roosevelt

Rolling Stones - Plundered My Soul


I can't believe this song got cut from the original 1972 album release...its awesome. To hear Jagger lament over his broken heart is amazing considering his track record in the breaking dept.
 
i love this

Citizen Cope - Sideways


You know it ain't easy
For these thoughts here to leave me
There's no words to describe it
In French or in English
Well, diamonds they fade
And flowers they bloom
And I'm telling you
These feelings won't go away
They've been knockin' me sideways
They've been knockin' me out lately
Whenever you come around me
These feelings won't go away
They've been knockin' me sideways
I keep thinking in a moment that
Time will take them away
But these feelings won't go away
These feelings won't go away
It ain't easy
For these thoughts that she leave me
there's no words to describe it in french or in english
Diamonds they fade
flowers they bloom
I'm telling you
These feelings won't go away
They've been knocking me sideways
They been knocking me out babe
Whenever you come around me
These feelings won't go away
 
I can't deny my Irish heritage

Clannad - Theme from Harry's Game

Imtheochaidh soir is siar
** I will go east and go west
A dtáinig ariamh an ghealach is an ghrian
** From whence came the moon and the sun

Fol lol the doh, fol the day
Fol the doh, fol the day

Imtheochaidh an ghealach's an ghrian
** The moon and the sun will go
An duine óg is a cháil 'na dhiadh
** And the young man with his reputation behind him

Imtheochaidh a dtáinig ariamh
** I will go wherever he came from
An duine óg is a cháil ne dhiadh
** The young man with his reputation behind him

:kiss::kiss::kiss:

Going to bed with a smile is like feeding happiness to your brain. :rose:
 
poetry anyone?

I Am Much Too Alone in This World, Yet Not Alone

- Rainer Maria Rilke



I am much too alone in this world, yet not alone
enough to truly consecrate the hour.

I am much too small in this world, yet not small
enough to be to you just object and thing,
dark and smart.

I want my free will and want it accompanying
the path which leads to action;

and want during times that beg questions,
where something is up,

to be among those in the know,
or else be alone.

I want to mirror your image to its fullest perfection,
never be blind or too old to uphold your weighty wavering reflection.

I want to unfold.

Nowhere I wish to stay crooked, bent;

for there I would be dishonest, untrue.

I want my conscience to be true before you;

want to describe myself like a picture I observed
for a long time, one close up,

like a new word I learned and embraced,

like the everday jug,

like my mother's face,

like a ship that carried me along
through the deadliest storm.

A Love Song

- William Carlos Williams



What have I to say to you
When we shall meet?
Yet—
I lie here thinking of you.

The stain of love
Is upon the world.
Yellow, yellow, yellow,
It eats into the leaves,
Smears with saffron
The horned branches that lean
Heavily
Against a smooth purple sky.

There is no light—
Only a honey-thick stain
That drips from leaf to leaf
And limb to limb
Spoiling the colours
Of the whole world.

I am alone.
The weight of love
Has buoyed me up
Till my head
Knocks against the sky.

See me!
My hair is dripping with nectar—
Starlings carry it
On their black wings.
See, at last
My arms and my hands
Are lying idle.

How can I tell
If I shall ever love you again
As I do now?
 
I love Clannad. Was just discussing them with girlfriends today and I did not know Enya was a member of the group before going solo!

Re: Plundered My Soul- It is on the remastered Exile on Main Street! Yay!

I love the lyrics to Sideways and the acoustic guitar!

Naked As We Came- I love the acoustic, once again, and the lyrics are profound and sad.

A poem for you by Wallace Stevens

FINAL SOLILOQUY OF THE INTERIOR PARAMOUR

Light the first light of evening, as in a room
In which we rest and, for small reason, think
The world imagined is the ultimate good.
This is, therefore, the intensest rendezvous.
It is in that thought that we collect ourselves,
Out of all the indifferences, into one thing:
Within a single thing, a single shawl
Wrapped tightly round us, since we are poor, a warmth,
A light, a power, the miraculous influence.
Here, now, we forget each other and ourselves.
We feel the obscurity of an order, a whole,
A knowledge, that which arranged the rendezvous.
Within its vital boundary, in the mind.
We say God and the imagination are one . . .
How high that highest candle lights the dark.
Out of this same light, out of the central mind,
We make a dwelling in the evening air,
In which being there together is enough.
