A Poet!

 


A poet!—He hath put his heart to school,
Nor dares to move unpropped upon the staff
Which art hath lodged within his hand—must laugh
By precept only, and shed tears by rule.
Thy Art be Nature; the live current quaff,
And let the groveller sip his stagnant pool,
In fear that else, when Critics grave and cool
Have killed him, Scorn should write his epitaph.
How does the Meadow-flower its bloom unfold?
Because the lovely little flower is free
Down to its root, and, in that freedom, bold;
And so the grandeur of the Forest-tree
Comes not by casting in a formal mould,
But from its own divine vitality.

William Wordsworth

XVII Seconds

 XVII


My poet, thou canst touch on all the notes
God set between his After and Before,
And strike up and strike off the general roar
Of the rushing worlds a melody that floats
In a serene air purely. Antidotes
Of medicated music, answering for
Mankind's forlornest uses, thou canst pour
From thence into their ears. God's will devotes
Thine to such ends, and mine to wait on thine.
How, Dearest, wilt thou have me for most use?
A hope, to sing by gladly? or a fine
Sad memory, with thy songs to interfuse?
A shade, in which to sing—of palm or pine?
A grave, on which to rest from singing? Choose.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Magnesium Moments


                                                                      I live on emotion

                                                                      And comic relief

Exultate

 


After the horrid result of the 2024 US Presidential election, I haven't had much of an interest in doing anything online. I am becoming more of a misanthrope than ever. This election cemented my feelings.

I wanted to congratulate Our Moz on a very successful US Tour. From Houston to Waukegan, Morrissey delivered a marvelous sold-out tour to his legions of devoted fans. He looks and sounds fantastic. The future is bright. Hopefully more tour dates and releases of albums are on the way. Bravo!

Trick Or Treat

 Our Moz has returned to the stage at the 713 Music Hall in Houston Texas on Halloween for the start of his latest US tour. I'm very happy to see Morrissey back in concert offering a treat to his fans of another wonderful show. He debuted a new song "I Ex-Love You", also he sang a very emotional "Dear God Please Help Me". All in all a marvelous beginning to his tour. We wish him good health and continued success for this tour.

In The Corner Of Your Room

Can you hear me?


 


                                                                    Where could I go?
                                                             With a soul full of loathing
                                                              For stinging bureaucracy


                                                             I won't vote Republican
