"Why did I laugh tonight? No voice will tell: No God, no Demon of severe response, Deigns to reply from Heaven or from Hell. Then to my human heart I turn at once. Heart! Thou and I are here, sad and alone; I say, why did I laugh? O mortal pain! O Darkness! Darkness! ever must I moan, To question Heaven and Hell and Heart in vain."
yes, of course I was an English major - that's why I still don't have a real job! And, for God's sake, please fix the Johm Keats typo.
does anyone remember the Partridge Family episode where that girl sings a really out-of-tune, "I left my heart in San Francisco," but Keith Partridge still loves her? I can't get that BAD song out of my head!
Are the "?" marks of any significance? Do you really know where you are? Does your GPS? ;-)
ReplyDeleteaaah.. so that's where you are. was looking all over at 1?16.484's, 103?60.179'E for you.
ReplyDeleteEric, good question. :)
ReplyDeleteGwynne, for some reason blogger doesn't recognise the degree symbol, hence the question marks. But regarding your other question, well... :)
Smole, where are you???
more importantly, where is your heart?

Heart! Thou and I are here, sad and alone;

O Darkness! Darkness! ever must I moan,
