@atlantic59 She's very "niche" but I've come to love a lot of Ms. Shire's work.

@LucyFuhr Definitely someone I would like to experience. Thanks

There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not man the less, but Nature more,
From these our interviews, in which I steal
From all I may be, or have been before,
To mingle with the Universe, and feel
What I can ne'er express, yet cannot all conceal.

Lord Byron (1812)

@badminton As someone who lives in nature, I love it!
Tell me not, in mournful numbers, Life is but an empty dream;
For the soul is dead that slumbers, And things are not what they seem.
Life is real! life is earnest! And the grave is not its goal;
Dust thou art, to dust returnest, Was not spoken of the soul!

- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
A Psalm of Life

@atlantic59 My pleasure. An all time favorite from youth.

“down these mean streets a man must go who is not himself mean, who is neither tarnished nor afraid. He is the hero; he is everything. He must be a complete man and a common man and yet an unusual man. He must be, to use a rather weathered phrase, a man of honor—by instinct, by inevitability, without thought of it, and certainly without saying it. He must be the best man in his world and a good enough man for any world.

“He will take no man’s money dishonestly and no man’s insolence without a due and dispassionate revenge. He is a lonely man and his pride is that you will treat him as a proud man or be very sorry you ever saw him.

“The story is this man’s adventure in search of a hidden truth, and it would be no adventure if it did not happen to a man fit for adventure. If there were enough like him, the world would be a very safe place to live in, without becoming too dull to be worth living in.”

― Raymond Chandler

Spring has sprung
The grass has riz.
I wonder where
The flowers is.

@exexec still snow here

@atlantic59 I'm sorry. It's 80 here. You can feel sorry for us in July when it's 98 with 80% humidity.

Slob on my knob
Like corn on the cob
Check in with me, and do your job

@SW-User I appreciate your candor, and am, strangely aroused
atlantic59 · 61-69, M
@SW-User I can't stop the visuals that your words evoke. I can't run from your words. I need guidance or remonstrations or, at least another beer.
