Say not the Struggle nought Availeth

Say not the struggle nought availeth,

The labour and the wounds are vain,

The enemy faints not, nor faileth,

And as things have been they remain.

If hopes were dupes, fears may be liars;

It may be, in yon smoke concealed,

Your comrades chase e'en now the fliers,

And, but for you, possess the field.

For while the tired waves, vainly breaking

Seem here no painful inch to gain,

Far back through creeks and inlets making,

Comes silent, flooding in, the main.

And not by eastern windows only,

When daylight comes, comes in the light,

In front the sun climbs slow, how slowly,

But westward, look, the land is bright.

one of my favorite poems

not much time

recommend a good movie...some nudity not gratuitous

"Kama Sutra" (1996) a love story directed by Mira Nair

this movie should be viewed with the directors commentary first

it gives some indication of the more than 3 thousand years of

the culture of the Indian subcontinent...magnificent

also...I know I'm a little behind the times but I recently bought

a DVD of the music videos for an entertainer named Biork

this is some of the most creative video I have ever seen...the music

is definitely overwhelmed by the video production...but the entire

collection of music videos is on one DVD and very good...but strange

i may have used this quote before...who cares
