Coniuratio:
I like your posting name; "Conspiracy". Very interesting--how and why did you pick it?
I like this poem as well--thought you might, too:
"The Second Coming"
"Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart, the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in the sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?"
I just love this age we live in; don't you? At least it's interesting--isn't that a Chinese curse?--"may the days you live in be interesting"?
Oh, well--the darkness makes the light all the brighter, as least by contrast!
:-)
Sincerely,
OT2 (OldtimerToo)
