ugh.

I'm just not going to share my 
   self-criticism with you 
                       if you're just going to            criticize me for criticizing 
          myself.

Matthew 7:7

J'aime lire

quiet boys who use
                  .pretty words
and sketch on the desk
and play piano or maybe
guitar and
brush my hand XXK with their
fingertips
I found a chubby kitty on the sidewalk today.... my heart is complete for the day! OH da cuteness!

Brontë

Tell me, if with wandering bands
I roam full far away,
Wilt thou to those distant lands
In spirit ever stray?

Wild, long, a trumpet sounds afar;
Bid me--bid me go
Where Seik and Briton meet in war,
On Indian Sutlej's flow.

Blood has dyed the Sutlej's waves
With scarlet stain, I know;
Indus' borders yawn with graves,
Yet, command me go!

Though rank and high the holocaust
Of nations steams to heaven,
Glad I'd join the death-doomed host,
Were but the mandate given.

Passion's strength should nerve my arm,
Its ardour stir my life,
Till human force to that dread charm
Should yield and sink in wild alarm,
Like trees to tempest-strife.

If, hot from war, I seek thy love,
Darest thou turn aside?
Darest thou then my fire reprove,
By scorn, and maddening pride?

No--my will shall yet control
Thy will, so high and free,
And love shall tame that haughty soul--
Yes--tenderest love for me.
