“Unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder; and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” — ISAIAH IX : 6.

O MOST illustrious of the days of time!
Day full of joy and benison to earth,
When Thou wast born, sweet babe of Bethlehem!
With dazzling pomp descending, angels sung
Good will and peace to men, to God due praise,
Who on the errand of salvation sent
Thee, Son Beloved! of plural Unity
Essential part, made flesh that mad'st all worlds.

Ay, well and gloriously didst Thou achieve
Thy god-like mission, both by life and death.
Light broke upon the nations; at Thy word
Roused from the sleep of ages. Truths long lost,
Man's immortality and higher life,
The unity and fatherhood of God,
The splendid verities of Christian Faith,
Ran swiftly and were glorified in every land.

Thy Universal Empire, whose sole law
Is Love, rose silently, and without violence
Freeing from old oppression. Ne'er till them
Did man know aught of Freedom, or could know.
The sensual and depraved are slaves perforce.
The free of soul, the pure, the sanctified,
Alone are free, the Freemen of the Lord, —
True King of Christendom, whose gracious sway,
None shares.

 * * * * * *

One is your Master, saith our Head, even Christ,
And there results to you equality
Of brotherhood. Humility is rank;
The least is greatest and the greatest least.

¤ ~~•~~•~~•~~ ¤ ~~•~~•~~•~~ ¤ ~~•~~•~~•~~ ¤

True ease in writing comes from art, not chance,
As those move easiest who have learned to dance.

~
Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
An Essay on Criticism, Part II (1711)

¤ ~~•~~•~~•~~ ¤ ~~•~~•~~•~~ ¤ ~~•~~•~~•~~ ¤

You write with ease, to show your breeding,
But easy writing's curst hard reading.

~
Richard Brinsley Sheridan (1751–1816)
Clio's Protest (1819)

¤ ~~•~~•~~•~~ ¤ ~~•~~•~~•~~ ¤ ~~•~~•~~•~~ ¤

But words are things, and a small drop of ink,
Falling, like dew, upon a thought, produces
That which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think.

~
Lord George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
Don Juan, Canto III (1819–1824)

¤ ~~•~~•~~•~~ ¤ ~~•~~•~~•~~ ¤ ~~•~~•~~•~~ ¤

The sentiment of art like the religious sentiment, like scientific curiosity, is born of wonder; the man who wonders at nothing lives in a state of imbecility and stupidity.
~
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770-1831)
Lectures on Aesthetics: Symbolic Art (1826)

¤ ~~•~~•~~•~~ ¤ ~~•~~•~~•~~ ¤ ~~•~~•~~•~~ ¤

If we have chosen the position in life in which we can most of all work for mankind, no burdens can bow us down, because they are sacrifices for the benefit of all;
...
Experience acclaims as happiest the man who has made the greatest number of people happy.
~
Karl Heinrich Marx (1818-1883)
Letter to His Father (1837)

If you tremble with indignation at every injustice, then you are a comrade of mine.

You are all geniuses, and you are all beautiful. You don't need anyone to tell you who you are. You are what you are. Get out there and get peace, think peace, live peace, and breathe peace, and you'll get it as soon as you like.

John Lennon (1940–1980)
Statement to the press in July 1969 after the release of the Plastic Ono Band's single "Give Peace a Chance"

When the child was a child, it didn’t know that it was a child, everything was soulful, and all souls were one.

About me

[edit]

What about me? ~ lol ~ Well, it's far too complicated to explain, and I don't like to talk about me because I'm not the best person to ask about this (^__^). I have so many interests, and, "probably", some skills. I am trying to be open-minded and as objective as I can. I am not only willing to consider new and different ideas and opinions, but, I am also ready to change my own ones. I hope to be an all-round good person. Well, this is all for now. Thank you for taking the time to read these "silly things" (^__^).

Easter, 1916 by William Butler Yeats

I have met them at close of day
Coming with vivid faces
From counter or desk among grey
Eighteenth-century houses.
I have passed with a nod of the head
Or polite meaningless words,
Or have lingered awhile and said
Polite meaningless words,
And thought before I had done
Of a mocking tale or a gibe
To please a companion
Around the fire at the club,
Being certain that they and I
But lived where motley is worn:
All changed, changed utterly:
A terrible beauty is born.

That woman's days were spent
In ignorant good will,
Her nights in argument
Until her voice grew shrill.
What voice more sweet than hers
When young and beautiful,
She rode to harriers?
This man had kept a school
And rode our winged horse.
This other his helper and friend
Was coming into his force;
He might have won fame in the end,
So sensitive his nature seemed,
So daring and sweet his thought.
This other man I had dreamed
A drunken, vain-glorious lout.
He had done most bitter wrong
To some who are near my heart,
Yet I number him in the song;
He, too, has resigned his part
In the casual comedy;
He, too, has been changed in his turn,
Transformed utterly:
A terrible beauty is born.

Hearts with one purpose alone
Through summer and winter, seem
Enchanted to a stone
To trouble the living stream.
The horse that comes from the road,
The rider, the birds that range
From cloud to tumbling cloud,
Minute by minute change.
A shadow of cloud on the stream
Changes minute by minute;
A horse-hoof slides on the brim;
And a horse plashes within it
Where long-legged moor-hens dive
And hens to moor-cocks call.
Minute by minute they live:
The stone's in the midst of all.

Too long a sacrifice
Can make a stone of the heart.
O when may it suffice?
That is heaven's part, our part
To murmur name upon name,
As a mother names her child
When sleep at last has come
On limbs that had run wild.
What is it but nightfall?
No, no, not night but death.
Was it needless death after all?
For England may keep faith
For all that is done and said.
We know their dream; enough
To know they dreamed and are dead.
And what if excess of love
Bewildered them till they died?
I write it out in a verse --
MacDonagh and MacBride
And Connolly and Pearse
Now and in time to be,
Wherever green is worn,
Are changed, changed utterly:
A terrible beauty is born.

Skeletal diagram of Mimodactylus
Skeletal diagram of Mimodactylus

Mimodactylus is a genus of istiodactyliform pterosaur that lived in what is now Lebanon during the Late Cretaceous, 95 million years ago. The only known specimen was discovered in a limestone quarry near the town of Hjoula. The owner of the quarry allowed the specimen to be prepared by researchers, and it was donated to the MIM Museum in Beirut. In 2019, the researchers named the new genus and species Mimodactylus libanensis, referring to the MIM Museum, with the Greek word daktylos for 'digit', and the specific name refers to Lebanon. The well-preserved holotype specimen is the first complete pterosaur from the Afro-Arabian continent (which consisted of the then joined Arabian Peninsula and Africa), and the third pterosaur fossil known from Lebanon. The marine deposits of Hjoula are late Cenomanian in age and are well-known for fish fossils. The holotype specimen is comparatively small, with a wingspan of 1.32 metres (4.3 ft), and was probably young. (Full article...)

Fall of man

The fall of man is a term used in Christianity to describe the transition of the first man and woman from a state of innocent obedience to God to a state of guilty disobedience. The doctrine of the Fall comes from a biblical interpretation of Genesis, chapters 1–3. At first, Adam and Eve lived with God in the Garden of Eden, but a serpent tempted them into eating the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, which God had forbidden. After doing so, they became ashamed of their nakedness and God expelled them from the Garden to prevent them from eating the fruit of the tree of life and becoming immortal. The narrative of the Garden of Eden and the fall of humanity constitute a mythological tradition shared by all the Abrahamic religions. The fall of man has been depicted many times in art and literature. This 1828 oil-on-canvas painting, titled Expulsion from the Garden of Eden, by Thomas Cole (1801–1848), is now in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, United States.
