places to go || people to see
angelfire and angel dreams
It is always we who are
to entertain the angels,
and never they us.
-- Samuel Butler

_.oOo._.oOo._.oOo._.oOo._

Not angels, but ghosts;
curling like pink tea cups
on any pillow, or kicking,
showing their innocent bottoms, wailing
for Lucifer.
-- Anne Sexton, "Ghosts"

_.oOo._.oOo._.oOo._.oOo._

The angels are stooping
Above your bed;
They weary of trooping
With the whimpering dead.
-- Yeats, "A Cradle Song"

_.oOo._.oOo._.oOo._.oOo._

While the angels, all pallid and wan,
Uprising, unveiling, affirm
That the play is the tragedy "Man",
And its hero the Conqueror Worm.
-- Edgar Allen Poe, from "Ligeia"

_.oOo._.oOo._.oOo._.oOo._

Men would be angels,
angels would be gods.
Aspiring to be gods, if angels fell,
Aspiring to be angels, men rebel.
-- Alexander Pope, from "An Essay on Man"

_.oOo._.oOo._.oOo._.oOo._

If men were angels,
no government would be necessary.
-- James Madison

_.oOo._.oOo._.oOo._.oOo._

There are so many intellectual and moral angels battling for rationalism, good citizenship, and pure spirituality; so many and such eminent ones, so very vocal and authoritative! The poor devil in man needs all the support and advocacy he can get. The artist is his natural champion. When an artist deserts to the side of the angels, it is the most odious of treasons.
-- Aldus Huxley

_.oOo._.oOo._.oOo._.oOo._

[Children] still believe in God, the family, angels, devils, witches, goblins, logic, clarity, punctuation, and other such obsolete stuff.... When a book is boring, they yawn openly. They don’t expect their writer to redeem humanity, but leave to adults such childish illusions.
-- Isaac Bashevis Singer

    Things you take for granted...
    Green means go.
    Red means stop.
    Devil duckies will not take over the world (no matter how many of them there are).
    Tiny Dragon Egg is mighty.
    Loved ones and pets will always be there.

    Unfortunately... not every thing you take for granted is true.

    Current Mood: melancholy

    Mrs. Peacock: So, what do you do in Washington D.C., Mr Green? Come on! What do you do? I mean, how are we to get acquainted if we don't say anything about ourselves.
    Miss Scarlet: Perhaps he doesn't wanna get acquainted with you.
    Mrs. Peacock: Well, I'm sure I don't know. But if I wasn't trying to keep the conversation going, we'd all be sitting here in an embarrassed silence.
    Professor Plum: Are you afraid of silence, Mrs. Peacock?
    Mrs. Peacock: Yes... What? No!... Why?
    Professor Plum: Well, it seems to me that you are. You seem to suffer from what we call "Pressure of Speech".
    Miss Scarlet: We? Who's we? Are you a shrink?
    Professor Plum: I do know a little about psychological medicine yes.

    According to my spam...
    My woman wants a replica.

    Dude... I've got a woman? Where the hell is she? And why is she telling some spammer that this is what she wants? Why didn't she just tell me?

    Wait. Maybe she doesn't know she's my woman. Or maybe she does, but she's trapped somewhere, like a message in a bottle or a genie in a lamp or something. Maybe her message to the spammer is a desperate plea for help, a long shot, a "Well, here goes nothing, maybe Aynjel will get my message and rescue me because it's really cramped in here and I have sand between my toes!".

    Maybe I just need more caffeine.

    An open letter to the internet. Subject: Punctuation
    None of the following items are punctuation: LOL, lol, lolz, rolflercopter, lolercopter, lollipop, or any acronym or variant of these that indicates laughter.

    You may use a period (.), a comma (,), an exclamation point (!), a question mark (?), heaven forbid, an ellipsis (...), or any other Chicago Manual of Style recognized punctuation in order to, well, punctuate your statements.

    Can you imagine what an idiot you would look like if someone gave you a useful tip and you said, "That will come in handy," and then laughed out loud when the situation was not even remotely amusing?

    Current Mood: cranky and most assuredly *not* LOL
