'The burden of dead faces. Out of sight
And out of love, beyond the reach of hands,
Changed in the changing of the dark and light,
They walk and weep about the barren lands
Where no seed is nor any garner stands,
Where in short breaths the doubtful days respire,
And time's turned glass lets through the sighing sands;
This is the end of every man's desire.'

and

Yet may love, sore wounded scarce recover
Strength and spirit again, with life receding:
Hope and joy, wind-winged, about him hover:
Love lies bleeding.


Oscar Wilde said of him this:

He was a braggart in matters of vice, who had done everything he could to convince his fellow citizens of his homosexuality and bestiality without being in the slightest degree a homosexual or a bestializer

It's a bit like 'Continent cut off - Fog in Channel'

a year ago, the dollar had fallen against the pound, drastically, then, compared with the euro, the pound began to follow (you can check the graphs) so the euro was then 80p (against the 7 years of 66p since its creation) and the dollar and pound stayed on par. Now, the dollar is recovering against the euro as the US economy seems to be improving. The pound is not. So it's not so much the pound falling (still the same vs the euro) it's the dollar coming up - and not bringing the pound with it. Why? Because the UK has many banking and loan companies owned by US companies, and they both made the same mistakes in overloaning and poor security.

If our government is so good, why can't they do as good as good 'ol GeeDubblya?]]> e-griff Discuss everything else (mods Ailsa/Delph) Sun, 07 Sep 2008 08:58:22 +0100 http://ukauthors.com/phorum5/read.php?1,135229,135229#msg-135229 http://ukauthors.com/phorum5/read.php?1,135229,135229#msg-135229

we fade

then sometimes bloom again
then find ourselves
waiting for the rain,
in someone else’s shade.

we are not trees
waiting for centuries
to see their children
flourish from below.
we are but flowers
blooming, fading,
buried by

Also, while change is in the air, is it possible to integrate the forum and the main site so that when you log into one you're logged into the other? It would be terrific if you stayed logged in to the main site when you called up a new copy of Explorer (or any other browser), which works for the forum at the moment but not for the main site.
