Join us at our new registration-only forums at:<P> <a href==http://jollyrogerwest.com>jollyrogerwest.com Great Books forums</a>, <a href=http://22philosophyforums.com>Philosophy Forums</a>, and <a href=http://booksliterature.com>booksliterature.com Great Books forums</a>. <P> Please respect that these are Great Books sites. We far prefer discussions along the following lines:<P> <pre> CXXVI O thou, my lovely boy, who in thy power Dost hold Time\'s fickle glass, his fickle hour; Who hast by waning grown, and therein show\'st Thy lovers withering, as thy sweet self grow\'st. If Nature, sovereign mistress over wrack, As thou goest onwards, still will pluck thee back, She keeps thee to this purpose, that her skill May time disgrace and wretched minutes kill. Yet fear her, O thou minion of her pleasure! She may detain, but not still keep, her treasure: Her audit (though delayed) answered must be, And her quietus is to render thee. --William Shakespeare</pre> Mr Gorbachev, tear down this wall! Ronald Reagan <P>100 per cent of us die, and the percentage cannot be increased. - C.S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory, In Death<P><P><pre> XXII My glass shall not persuade me I am old, So long as youth and thou are of one date; But when in thee time\'s furrows I behold, Then look I death my days should expiate. For all that beauty that doth cover thee, Is but the seemly raiment of my heart, Which in thy breast doth live, as thine in me: How can I then be elder than thou art? O! therefore love, be of thyself so wary As I, not for myself, but for thee will; Bearing thy heart, which I will keep so chary As tender nurse her babe from faring ill. Presume not on th;heart when mine is slain, Thou gav\'st me thine not to give back again. --William Shakespeare</pre> <P>
