Hi y'all. :)

Z's song reminded me of this from TS Eliot.




I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.

I do not think that they will sing to me.

I have seen them riding seaward on the waves
Combing the white hair of the waves blown back
When the wind blows the water white and black.

We have lingered in the chambers of the sea
By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown
Till human voices wake us, and we drown.
Ah, but do you dare to vape a peach?

Back to Jag's ts eliot

This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper

This last line alludes to, amongst some talk of war, the actual end of the Gunpowder Plot mentioned at the beginning: not with its planned bang, but with Guy Fawkes's whimper, as he was caught, tortured and executed on the gallows. (wiki)

We've come full circle so to speak - the Gunpowder Plot by the Levellers (look it up :) was a precursor to the Rye House Plot by Sidney, Locke, et. al...

Impressive to swing it around again. :laugh:


And Z...back to sea...where dolphins and mermaids play. Love it! :D

I still don't get that. The two things about smoking that I miss the least are the smell and the taste.

I don't miss the tar (maybe?) and smoke, but tobacco plants do have a flavor and I still like that. It's another plant like tea leaves and coffee beans. I smoked 30 years for the nic and the taste. :)
