I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud ~W. Wordsworth
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced; but they
Outdid the sparkling waves in glee;
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company;
I gazed -- and gazed -- but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

cafegroundzero on January 1, 2006I am still reviewing your manifesto, or Mr. Crowley's i am not sure which.
You wrote:
6. The idea of female equality. - Women should be the economic and moral equals of men. They should have the same pay, the same working conditions, the same opportunity for drinking, smoking, taking or dismissing lovers.
I would amend this to "They should have the same pay for the same amount of work." I have witnessed too many womyn who take advantatge of the ability of certain men to let the men do more work. Then the womyn sit or stand around and gossip. I have seen this. I'm not saying all womyn are like this, but a few bad apples can bring disrepute to their colleagues. -
Annalise on September 5, 2005I hope you don't mind, but your "Love Papers" write has loosely inspired a write for a contest I was a bit stuck on. I just wanted to let you know, in case you happened upon it and realized that it had a similar theme (in a way). If it bothers you, let me know and I'll remove it.
On another note...the Bohemian Credo by Malcolm Cowley...I find that fascinating. What is the story behind it? Who exactly is Malcolm Cowley ( I know I may sound a bit ignorant with that question
)
Best wishes ~Meli~ -
abernaith on August 30, 2005P.S. I see you like David Sedaris. I have only had the chance to read one of his books, "Me Talk Pretty One Day". I read through it all day straight. I couldn't put it down, he does talk pretty
