Put up a bit of a poem and you get taken apart! |
So in reply to postings -
- It is not my poem. It is a quotation. Well, nearly. I couldn't remember the original so the English got updated a bit.
- "When to the new eyes of thee - All things by immortal power, Near or far, Hiddenly - To each other linked are, That thou canst not stir a flower - Without troubling of a star". From "The Mistress of Vision" by Francis Thompson, a 19th century opium head - and poet. (Thanks to Frank Key for finding it for me again.)
- Did Thompson foresee the nature of what was to become the World Wide Web on the Internet 100 years on?
- Was my comment some reference to the interlinked nature of the universe and how small events far away can have disproportionate effects on other things, and people (like me).
- Do you get the link yet?
- Do you care?
- Well, why pester me then!
