Ulysses brings back memories of my late MIL saying to me that there so much I want to do but my body won’t let me! She had a hard time accepting the human condition as most of us do. Keep doing what you’re doing. I’m learning a lot. Great job on BK!
Ah, Tennyson! I have to admit that I haven't paid him much mind since college and I should! This was perfection. John Gielgud: only a master could go from "Ulysses" to "Arthur." "I suppose you'd like me to come in there and wash your dick for you? You little shit!" I miss him.
Kavanaugh: it's great that these sorts of things keep coming up and I hope he's sweating beer-bullets as they happen. We haven't forgotten, and it's VERY good that he knows that. And now with even T**** tearing him down in the latest books about the raging dumpster fire of his administration, he's got to be feeling the heat. Good. Where'd that money come from, Brett? Hmmm?
I missed the Kavanaugh news, but I LOVE this: "Because there is a level of public pressure that will compel the Biden Administration and/or Congress to act to remove this hideous wart on the nose of our judicial system. We may never get there, but we have to keep trying."
Great, great poem. Also the mention of Y&R grabbed my attention. My father ran the PR division of the Rochester, New York office. The pandemic has given me the opportunity to go through his papers personal and business. One discovery was the letters his father wrote home to his mother from France during World War I and the fledgling Spanish Flu pandemic. One line that pierced me through the heart was “I pray nothing happens to you. My grandfather made it back to the Catskills
but died two months after my father was born in 1925.
"I am a part of all that I have met" really resonates with me, reminds me of that Radiohead lyric from Pyramid song, "All my loves were there with me, all my past & future..."
"The long day wanes: the slow moon climbs: the deep
Moans round with many voices. Come, my friends,
’Tis not too late to seek a newer world."
A simple, yet curious question in this newer world...
Somehow, the older I get, the better Tennyson gets. A wonderful choice! Thank you, Greg!
Yes!
“…I cannot rest from travel: I will drink life to the lees…”
One of my favorites! Thanks for bringing it back to our notice. Have a good day!
Perfect! Stay strong and well.

Love me some Lord Tennyson in the morning
