XXXIII



Full many a glorious morning have I seen

Flatter the mountain tops with sovereign eye,

Kissing with golden face the meadows green,

Gilding pale streams with heavenly alchemy;

Anon permit the basest clouds to ride

With ugly rack on his celestial face,

And from the forlorn world his visage hide,

Stealing unseen to west with this disgrace: 

Even so my sun one early morn did shine,

With all triumphant splendour on my brow;

But out! alack! he was but one hour mine,

The region cloud hath mask\'d him from me now.

  Yet him for this my love no whit disdaineth;

  Suns of the world may stain when heaven\'s sun staineth.

 	--William Shakespeare

Government is like a baby. An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one
end and no sense of responsibility at the other.
Ronald Reagan

To draw, you must close your eyes and sing.
