Great mind. Good friend. Shall miss.
Maybe instead of "mice" read "ice" -- isn't the Scandinavian Hel cold rather than hotter than?
And most of Emily Dickinson can be sung to "The Yellow Rose of Texas."
BTW, the tune to the version of "Dives & Lazarus" that Royston Wood sang on the first Young Tradition album belongs to the family of tunes known as "The Star of the COunty Down."
I am tired of 9/11 wittering.
Tired of hearing the families of victims whine about the memorial. Which they expect me (and you) to pay for.
London was blitzed in WWII. Londoners mourned and moved on and rebuilt. Given how long there has been a city in that place, it's probable that every square inch is someone's dying-place. So what?
What troubled me most after 9/11 was that I didn't hear any American politicians asking what went wrong, to make people hate us so, and what could we do to fix it.
I'm still not hearing this. Anyone who as much as mentions talking with "terrorists" is labeled as unpatriotic.
Yes, it was a disaster, and horrible. Follow the example of the Duke of Wellington: tie a knot, and move on.
