  3. My Step Father's brother was a famous Poet. He taught at Harvard and did a very nice book of poems about owls. A distant cousin of mine is Harry Crosby a great poet as well. I consider myself naturally talented in the coupling art... you Sir are no poet! ~stoney

    "The Owl

    Downhill I came, hungry, and yet not starved;
    Cold, yet had heat within me that was proof
    Against the North wind; tired, yet so that rest
    Had seemed the sweetest thing under a roof.

    Then at the inn I had food, fire, and rest,
    Knowing how hungry, cold, and tired was I.
    All of the night was quite barred out except
    An owl’s cry, a most melancholy cry

    Shaken out long and clear upon the hill,
    No merry note, nor cause of merriment,
    But one telling me plain what I escaped
    And others could not, that night, as in I went.

    And salted was my food, and my repose,
    Salted and sobered, too, by the bird’s voice
    Speaking for all who lay under the stars,
    Soldiers and poor, unable to rejoice."

    Is that more or less than a schilling?

  10. You are gathering proof that you are right.

    I am gathering thoughts that rubs others mind.

    Thoughts are like breeze that penetrates with ease.

    Like a whisper of knowledge with double edge.
