Constant Sorrow

From the Ballad of Reading Gaol:

"The loftiest place is that seat of grace
...For which all worldlings try:
But who would stand in hempen band
...Upon a scaffold high,
and through a murderer's collar take
...His last look at the sky?

I never saw a man who looked
...with such a wistful eye
Upon that little tent of blue
...Which prisoners call the sky,
And every drifting cloud that went
...With sails of silver by."

By Oscar Wilde

Not quite the same 'sentiment' as the original post Peter! I think you're turning the post into something more, well, 'serious'!

I think these boards are full of closet Arty types. Out with ye! :lol:

It was meant to be HILARIOUSLY funny Seanie.

After all:

"Life is far too important to be taken seriously".....Oscar Wilde.

"We are all in the gutter,but some of us are looking at the stars"..Oscar Wilde.

well, what can you say to that, this miserable weather is driving you all to writing poetry, not the expected result :lol:
