Please respect that these are Great Books sites. We far prefer
discussions along the following
lines:<P> <pre>
CXIV
Or whether doth my mind, being crown\'d with you,
Drink up the monarch\'s plague, this flattery?
Or whether shall I say, mine eye saith true,
And that your love taught it this alchemy,
To make of monsters and things indigest
Such cherubins as your sweet self resemble,
Creating every bad a perfect best,
As fast as objects to his beams assemble?
O! \'tis the first, \'tis flattery in my seeing,
And my great mind most kingly drinks it up:
Mine eye well knows what with his gust is \'greeing,
And to his palate doth prepare the cup:
If it be poison\'d, \'tis the lesser sin
That mine eye loves it and doth first begin.
--William Shakespeare</pre>
Every poem can be considered in two ways--as what the poet has to say, and as a thing which he makes.

T. S. Eliot<P><P>
We might come closer to balancing the Budget if all of us lived closer to
the Commandments and the Golden Rule.
