3D The Sheridan – Tampa FL, Waterproof Dive Site Card $9.95 Twenty miles off Indian Rocks Beach you will find the rusting hulk of a 383-ton tugboat, the Sheridan. She lies within the Pinellas #2 Artificial Reef Site. The Sheridan is a fantastic wreck dive. The 180-foot tugboat lies upright and fully intact in about 75-80 feet of water. The tug lists to starboard with its prop in place. The top of the wreck can be reached at 25-30 feet. The wreck is surrounded by concrete culverts and tires. Many consider the Sheridan to be one of the best wreck dives in the Tampa/Clearwater area. The Sheridan is home to several Goliath Grouper and barracuda and always has lots of marine life to observe. Spanish mackerel,amberjack, crevelle jack, trigger fish, snapper, and even the occasional shark frequent the reef site. This is a great spot to take pictures of some large grouper. Advanced wreck divers will enjoy exploring the open compartments. |

Adventures Of Apple & Banana $10.95 The flashing blue and white lights and thunderous sounds continued. A new and strange world began to take form. It seemed to be painted by some unseen magical hand. On the outside of the store the appearance was normal but on the inside the store kept on growing and taking on a life of its own, until suddenly a explosion of light transformed part of the store into a magical land. Inside this new land the items of the grocery store began to come to life but at the back of the store was very quiet untouched yet by the magical light.Towards the back of the store a dim yellowish light could be seen. There were still some aisles left in the grocery story. Out of the blue the silence at the back of the store was broken by a loud crash and laughter as the magical light swept through the last parts of the Safe& Fresh Grocery. The sound of the crash and laughter was coming from where the fruit and produce section used to be. Near the fruit and produce section was several overturned trays of pies and doughnuts. “Shh! You will wake up the bread,” a voice said in a hushed tone.The laughter stopped.”Yeah whatever lets wake up the bread! Yippee! Said a banana swinging on a make shift rope and crashing into another tray of doughnuts and pies.”Banana Slick stop goofing off you are going to get us caught,” a plump red apple with short stubby legs said.Banana with a big cheesy grin strolled over to the apple.”Relax Apple Edison. Why you so uptight? You are always uptight. Let’s have some fun,” the brash Banana said as he slapped Apple on his back.Apple looked at Banana and shook his head and smiled.”I am not that upright.”"Yeah right you are as tight as a jar of pickles and look at your shirt.”"What about my shirt. I think it’s nice,” Apple said in a defensive voice.”Must you have your last name printed on it? EDISON,” Banana said as he laughed.”Whatever, what do you want to do today?” Apple asked.Banana picked up a large doughnut and |

During my short nights my dreams of life in England were so extraordinarily vivid that the sense of the unreality of my life in the heart of Africa was heightened. When the sun rose and I saw the fine, athletic figures of naked men, with upright bearing and easy carriage, driving their cattle up to the hills, and the equally nude tall women carrying water from the lake, I rubbed my eyes and thought to myself, ” This must surely be a Garden of Eden, where men and women, young and old, all walk about naked and unashamed, untroubled by any of our conventional ideas of decency and untrammelled by dictates of fashion.” They are a happy, cheerful race, living in a state of nature, and at the same time with a high standard of morality1—in marked contrast to neighbouring tribes of negroes ; and they are steadily increasing 1 It is almost sufficient to state that syphilis is still unknown among the Kavirondo.

An Attempt at a Glossary of Some Words Used in Cheshire– $14.03 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.This is an OCR edition with typos.Excerpt from book:A. Achorn, or rather Aitchorn, s. to go aitchorning is to go gathering Acorns. The pigs are gone o’ aitchorning. Ackersprit, part. said of potatoes, when the roots have germinated before the time of gathering them, and consequently are of little value. Corn, and particularly barley, which has germinated before it is malted, is said by the maltsters in the eastern counties of England to be acrespired or eagerspired, i. e. early grown. Bailey’s Diet. Skinner derives this word from the A.S. .flicer, seges, satum, and nostro spire, spica. Ackerspyre, v. to sprout, to germinate. Jam. Affrodile, s. a daffodil. Aftbrings, s. the last milk that can be drawn from a cow : the same as Strokings. AoaTE, adverbial expression, means not only a person up and recovered from a sick-bed, but also one that is employed ; ” he is agate marling” or “ploughing.” A convalescent is said to be on his legs again. Agate is also used in the sense of, employed with, or setting about awork. I have been agate a woman, directing her in the road. I am agate a new cart, I am making a ne.w cart. Ago, or Egg, v. to incite or provoke, from the Danish word Egger, to provoke. Wolf. part. Agging. Egging. Aitch, Aitches, s. so pronounced; ache, aches, pain, pains. It is also used for a paroxysm in an intermitting disorder. This seems to be the same word in an extended sense. Hot aitches are flushings in the face. A.S. Ace, dolor; pain. ach. Som.

PRIMITIVE INFANT SCHOOL. In neighbour Mistress Vane’s Infant School I early became a pupil, where things went on pretty much in accordance with the reputation borne by these humble establishments. Mistress Vane was no great stickler for formalities : it was rarely that anything like order was preserved among us. The boys did pretty much as they pleased. Some of them exhibited no little ingenuity. One, a wiry shock-headed fellow, would beguile the morning with a lump of clay, shaping it into bricks upon the boards ; another would divide his dinner into a number of morsels, and spread out a miniature feast before a dozen imaginary guests, who, however, were not at all required to assist the owner in disposing of his meal. One owned a piece of string, of which he made many uses—among others, in imitation of the jail people, to hang a doll belonging to one of the girls. The champion’ of the boys, however, was distinguished by the possession of a knife, with which he cut his dinner and anything else that offered itself to his notice, so that in the end there was hardly a thing in the room that he had not cut. He even had the temerity to reduce the length of the governess’s wand. Most of the children were too poor to have anything about them save the garments in which they stood upright; yet though their pockets were empty, they took immense pride in having pockets, and spent part of their time in turning them inside out, in a triumphant way, to the envy of those whochapter{Section 4had none. The boy with a piece of string was considered fortunate: the brick maker with his lump of clay not badly off; but, greater than a king, he of the knife kept his ground against all comers. The knife was the very wonder of the establishment, and it was seldom out of |

PRIMITIVE INFANT SCHOOL. In neighbour Mistress Vane’s Infant School I early became a pupil, where things went on pretty much in accordance with the reputation borne by these humble establishments. Mistress Vane was no great stickler for formalities : it was rarely that anything like order was preserved among us. The boys did pretty much as they pleased. Some of them exhibited no little ingenuity. One, a wiry shock-headed fellow, would beguile the morning with a lump of clay, shaping it into bricks upon the boards ; another would divide his dinner into a number of morsels, and spread out a miniature feast before a dozen imaginary guests, who, however, were not at all required to assist the owner in disposing of his meal. One owned a piece of string, of which he made many uses—among others, in imitation of the jail people, to hang a doll belonging to one of the girls. The champion’ of the boys, however, was distinguished by the possession of a knife, with which he cut his dinner and anything else that offered itself to his notice, so that in the end there was hardly a thing in the room that he had not cut. He even had the temerity to reduce the length of the governess’s wand. Most of the children were too poor to have anything about them save the garments in which they stood upright; yet though their pockets were empty, they took immense pride in having pockets, and spent part of their time in turning them inside out, in a triumphant way, to the envy of those whochapter{Section 4had none. The boy with a piece of string was considered fortunate: the brick maker with his lump of clay not badly off; but, greater than a king, he of the knife kept his ground against all comers. The knife was the very wonder of the establishment, and it was seldom out of |

Ashes To Alleluias $12.19 Have you ever been touched by an angel? I think that we all have been touched by angels in some way, even though we might not have recognized it at the time. I have always been fascinated with angels. When I was a little girl, my mother taught me the angel prayer: “Angel of God, my guardian dear, for whom God’s love commits me here . . .”My mother’s mother, my grandmother, was a self-taught artist with many wonderful talents. I was always entranced with her painting of a guardian angel watching over two small children. I followed in my grandmother’s footsteps,and I am also a self-taught artist. She always encouraged me to follow that dream. For as long as I can remember, drawing and painting, along with other art forms, have been an important part of my life.A number of years ago, I started collecting angels, so I guess it was appropriate that they would come to me in a dream that would change my life. It was in the late summer of 2002. I had been going through some diffi cult personal problems, and there was one incident in my life that left me in a very troubled state of mind. One evening, after I had been asleep for several hours, I experienced a powerful dream about angels who were watching over me. It was so real that it woke me out of a sound sleep, and I sat bolt upright.The effects from that dream stayed with me for several days. I decided to write down what I was feeling while it was still fresh in my mind. As I started to write, I realized that it was taking the form of a poem. It was as if a door to my soul had been opened. That poem is called “Life.” |

Barranca $60.08 Legendary curmudgeon and hustler extraordinaire Eddie Caminetti has taken on the Ryder Cup ( The Green), unrepentant sinners ( The Fourseome), and the entire golf equipment industry ( Scratch). But enough with the small stuff: In Barranaca, Eddie is called upon by the U.S. government to go after a South American economic terrorist threatening the only commodity capable of destabilizing the entire Western Hemisphere. Yes, Manuel Villa Lobos de Barranca is out to corner the market on coffee. When a grande (medium) cup of Starbucks hits $20, riots break out in cities and towns all over America, worker productivity plummets, and the very fabric of society begins unraveling. But there’s nothing the government can do about it because the scrupulously honest and upright de Barranca (Standford, ’96) is running his revolution without firing a shot or breaking any laws, which makes him the most dangerous subversive since Gandhi. But he’s nuts about golf, positively fanatic about betting, and that’s where Eddie Caminetti comes in. Armed with only fourteen weapons of mass destruction (the most you’re allowed to carry in your bag), he sets up a match against de Barranca on which hangs the very fate of Western civilization. In the hands of master storyteller Troon McAllister, impending doom has never been more fun. |

Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 32. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: The Sri Lanka Frogmouth, Batrachostomus moniliger, is a relatively small frogmouth. The frogmouths are a group of tropical nocturnal birds related to the nightjars. This species is found only in the Western Ghats in southwest India and Sri Lanka. Its habitat is dense tropical forest. A single white egg is laid in the fork of a tree and incubated by the female at night and the male in the day. The Sri Lanka Frogmouth is about 23 cm long. It looks large-headed, and has a large flattened hooked bill and huge frog-like gape. The female is rufous, lightly spotted with white. The male is grey and more heavily spotted. Like other frogmouths, this species rests upright on branches during the day, camouflaged by its cryptic plumage and appearing like a broken branch. At night, it hunts insects with its large gape. The flight appears weak and fluttery, but they are capable of flying quietly under the forest canopy. The Sri Lanka Frogmouth is best located at night by its song, which is a loud descending cackly and frog-like series of Klock-klock-klock-klock-klock calls. It has the quality of sound produced by rattling pebbles. This is the call of the male and it is often answered by the female whose call is low long harsh Krrshhhh. …More: http://booksllc.net/?id=498683 |

Biomechanical analysis of thoracolumbar spine fractures in Indianapolis-type racing car drivers during frontal impacts. $49.99 Measurements taken from real-world Indianapolis-type racing car crashes indicate a high injury risk for the thoracolumbar spine. Hybrid III, 50 th percentile male dummy model predictions obtained from CART HANS RTM MADYMO simulations confirm that high load levels are found in the thoracolumbar region. However, simulations using the MADYMO Human Facet Model (HFM) have raised concern about the predictability of the multi-segmented ellipsoid spine model. This study analyzes the ability of a newly developed MADYMO Race Car Driver occupant model, with an adapted ellipsoid spine from the HFM, to predict occupant kinematics, intervertebral loads and moments in the thoracolumbar spinal region. Potential factors influencing spinal loads and moments in Indianapolis-type racing car drivers during frontal impacts were also analyzed. These include spinal curvature, seat back angle, shoulder belt mounting locations and under thigh seat pans referred to as a leg hump. Analysis of the results from this study suggest that alterations in restraint and seat geometry, particularly reducing the seatback angle from 45- to 25-degrees from vertical and raising shoulder belt anchors 75 mm above horizontal, would reduce the risk of thoracolumbar spine injury in Indianapolis-type racing car drivers during frontal impacts. The simulations conducted in this study demonstrate the strong influence of spinal geometry and seating position on injury prediction outcomes. Additionally, a six-point restraint system, helmeted head and C-shaped spinal geometry significantly influence neck flexibility kinematics predicted by the driver model. When the driver model maintains the natural spinal curvatures in an upright seating configuration, the neck does not flex or whip excessively and spinal compression and flexion decreases. In contrast, the C-shaped spine in a 45-degree reclined seating position produces more compression and flexion on the anterior portion of the vertebral body thus |

Body Hunter $0.99 THE SEX KILLER NEXT DOORTo the people of Olney, Texas, 39-year-old Faryion Wardrip was an upright citizen-a happily married man, a valued employee, and a respected Sunday school teacher. But everyone in Olney would soon learn the chilling truth about the man they thought they knew.HIS BRUTAL RAPE-MURDER SPREEIn January, 1999, investigators reviewing the files of three unsolved murders dating back 15 years came across information linking Wardrip to the attractive young female victims-Terry Sims, 20, who had been bound, raped and stabbed to death; Toni Gibbs, 23, who was found slashed and sexually assaulted in a deserted bus shell; and Ellen Blau, 21, who disappeared after working a night shift, her badly decomposed body found a month later.THE MOUNTING BODY COUNTSmart police work snared a sample of Wardrip’s DNA, matching it with semen found in the Sims case. Wardrip confessed to the three murders, and one more-the strangulation death of Debra Taylor, 25-though it was Sims’ murder that put him on Texas’s death row and made him the prime suspect in 10 other similar unsolved murders in Fort Worth.INCLUDES 16 PAGES OF PHOTOS! |

Book of Arda Viraf $43.99 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Book of Arda Viraf is a Zoroastrian religious text of Sassanid era in Middle Persian language,contains about 8,800 words. It describes the dream-journey of a devout Zoroastrian (the ‘Viraf’ of the story) through the next world. Due to the ambiguity inherent to Pahlavi script, ‘Viraf’ (the name of the protagonist) may also be transliterated as ‘Wiraf’, ‘Wiraz’ or ‘Viraz’. The ‘Arda’ of the name (cf. Asha; cognate with Gk. orthós, “straight, upright, correct”, Skt. urdhvah, “high, lofty, steep,”, and more recognizably Latin arduus, “high, steep”) is an epithet of Viraf and is approximately translatable as “truthful” or “righteous.” “Viraz” is probably akin to Proto-Indo-European *wer-, “man”. |

Bootleg $18.99 It began with the best of intentions. Worried about the effects of alcohol on American families, mothers and civic leaders started a movement to outlaw drinking in public places. Over time, their protests, petitions, and activism paid off–when a Constitional Amendment banning the sale and consumption of alcohol was ratified, it was hailed as the end of public drunkenness, alcoholism, and a host of other social ills related to booze. Instead, it began a decade of lawlessness, when children smuggled (and drank) illegal alcohol, the most upright citizens casually broke the law, and a host of notorious gangsters entered the public eye. Filled with period art and photographs, anecdotes, and portraits of unique characters from the era, this fascinating book looks at the rise and fall of the disastrous social experiment known as Prohibition. |

Can’T Buy Me Love $64.6 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! “Can’t Buy Me Love” is a song composed by Paul McCartney (credited to Lennon/McCartney) and released by The Beatles on the A-side of their sixth British single, “Can’t Buy Me Love”/”You Can’t Do That”. When pressed by American journalists in 1966 to reveal the song’s “true” meaning, McCartney denied that “Can’t Buy Me Love” was about prostitution, stating that, although it was open to interpretation, that suggestion was going too far, saying: “The idea behind it was that all these material possessions are all very well, but they won’t buy me what I really want.” Although he was to later comment: “It should have been ‘Can Buy Me Love’ ” when reflecting on the perks that money and fame had brought him. While in Paris, The Beatles stayed at the five star George V hotel and had an upright piano moved into one of their suites so that song writing could continue. |

Candy in the Sand: Life’s Bittersweet Journey: A Genealogical Saga of My Ancestors $12.95 A loud boom exploded into the early dawn’s quiet calm. It was Thursday morning, September 25, 1941, in Winnsboro, South Carolina. Daylight was just beginning to peek through the window shades of the Holmes family farmhouse. Inside, all six children were sleeping soundly, except one, Thelma, who was so frightened by the boom sound, she lay cowering under her bed quilt, holding closely her baby brother, Donald. Thelma’s mother, Gladys, was standing outside at the pigpen and jumped when she heard the loud boom sound. She took off running towards the house. “Lord, Jesus,” Gladys prayed as she ran, “please don’t let nothing else bad happen, please.” Seems her family was being hit by one calamity after another. Gladys entered the house calling out to her husband Will, asking if everything was all right. Not waiting for an answer, she proceeded to the kitchen to check the pot-bellied cook stove. Seeing that it was fine, she continued down the hall to the children’s bedrooms to check on them. All were sleeping soundly except Thelma, who raised her head from under the quilt holding baby Donald, when she heard her mother come in the room. “Daddy gave you the baby?” Gladys asked her daughter. Thelma shook her head yes. At that moment, a horrible thought crossed Gladys’ mind that maybe Will had been hopping around in their bedroom without his crutches, as he often did, and had fallen into the heavy chifferobe, knocking it over on himself. She flew into the bedroom, her heart racing something fierce, but the chifferobe was still standing upright in the corner and Will was not there. It couldn’t have been more than ten minutes ago, long enough for her to get down to the pig pen, that she left her husband sitting on the edge of the bed, holding their six month old son. Gladys found herself standing outside the door to the back bedroom, the last one at the end of the hall. Gladys turned the doorknob and let the door swing open. She took a quick look inside and was about to pull |

Carpet Pro Commercial CPU 2T Upright Vacuum Cleaner w/ On-Board Tools $249.95 The Carpet Pro CPU-2T is a true commercial machine and includes many conveniences not found in a typical commercial machine including an Easy Bag Change System and a By-Pass Motor System. The Carpet Pro CPU-2T also uses a Motor By-Pass System which means all of the dirt goes directly into the bag and NOT through the motor. This means you can pick up a nickel or screw and not worry about braking a set of fans which is a common problem in many other commercial machines. Instead of using plastic or wood for the brushroll or plastic for the baseplate, the Carpet Pro CPU-2T uses metal for both part increasing durability and preventing a broken brushroll or baseplate. The brushroll is sealed off with rubber end caps preventing hair and debris from getting caught in the brushroll and melting either the side wall of the machine or the brushroll; a problem commonly found many other vacuum cleaners. The Carpet Pro CPU-2T’s brushroll uses Commercial-Grade Stiff Gold Bristles to ensure you are getting the most dirt out of your rugs as possible. The Carpet Pro CPU-2T uses a commercial grade 40-foot cord so you can plug in once and clean an entire floor in many cases! The cord is heavy duty and yellow so the user is aware of the cord at all times. This allows for simple hassle-free cord removal. Since the handle takes a lot of stress when used the Carpet Pro CPU-2T has a metal handle for increased durability. The User has to be comfortable while using the machine which is why the handle has been fitted with foam for comfort. The Foam also prevents slippage while the machine is in use. The Built-In Furniture Guard helps protect furniture and walls if the this vacuum were to ever bump into walls or furniture. he Carpet Pro CPU-2T has a built-in stretch hose which allows you to use the on board tools without using the hose inlet. Use the On-Board Dusting Brush, Crevice Tool and Wands to clean hard to reach places such as tables, bookcases, wall crevices and much more! |

Clan Macaulay Of Lewis $11.12 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Chapters: Thomas Babington Macaulay, 1st Baron Macaulay, Olvir Rosta, Stac Dhòmhnaill Chaim, Thomas Bassett Macaulay, Zachary Macaulay, Uig, Lewis, Colin Macaulay, Robertson Macaulay, Clach an Trushal. Excerpt: Clach an Trushal (Scottish Gaelic : Clach an Truiseil, translated to English “Stone of Compassion”) is the tallest standing stone (Menhir ) in Scotland at 5.8 metres tall. It is sited in the village of Ballantrushal on the west side of Lewis . Like many standing stones, it has been said that it marks the site of a great battle, the last one fought between the feuding clans of the Macaulays and Morrisons – however it is actually the solitary upright stone remaining from a stone circle built about 5,000 years ago. It occupied a place within the circle, although its placement was not central. The second last standing stone was removed in 1914, and used as a lintel . From the base the stone circle at Steinacleit is clearly visible to the north east. The Callanish standing stones are 20 miles to the south west.

Macaulay was a son of the rev. John Macaulay (1720-1789), minister in the Church of Scotland and Margaret Campbell. He had two brothers: rev. Aulay Macaulay, scholar and antiquary, and Zachary Macaulay , colonial governor. Macaulay served for thirty years in India, in the Company’s army. He was present at Seringapatam , and was one of Sir David Bird’s companions in the two years imprisonment in Trippoo Saib. He was for many years on intimate terms with the Duke of Wellington .

Comparative Politics $22.59 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.This is an OCR edition with typos.Excerpt from book:III ‘ ‘”J ‘ THE STATE In my two former lectures we have, I trust, seen somewhat of the general nature of that common political heritage a share in which probably belongs to every member of the great Aryan family, and most certainly/ belongs to each of its three most illustrious branches. Our earliest glimpses of the life of our forefathers and kinsfolk set them before us as already gathered together in organized societies, as having already developed the first principles of political government, and, what is more, as already showing the germs of the three great forms of political government, — as showing the germs of monarchy, of aristocracy, and of democracy. Wherever we find, in however rude a shape, the King or other chief, , the Council of elders or nobles, and the general Assembly of the people, the substance of all three is there. Nor must we in this matter be led away by mere names. The first element, that of the King or other chief, may remain after the kingship in the ordinary sense has been abolished, just as the forms and titles of kingship may remain after the real kingly power has ‘ p’assed away. The aristocratic element again, the Council, may or may not take the form of an hereditary body. Aristocracy, I need hardly say, in its strict sense, is the rule of the best : indeed aristocracy would be the rule of the ideally best, those who are really wisest, bravest, and most upright. Any other standard, be it that of age, of birth, or of wealth, is simply a substitute which /is accepted because, in an imperfect world, the rule of the ideally best is something which may be talked about, , but which will never be found in actual being (1).

Corn Plants $28.86 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.This is an OCR edition with typos.Excerpt from book:unnatural position. So long as the axis points upwards the power of growth is not awakened ; but let it point for a while in any other direction and the undermost part of the ring is stimulated to elongate. This one-sided growth produces a bend in the stalk where the ring comes. The stem at this point, following the same curve as the sheath ring, causes the parts above to come gradually into an upright position. That is to say, the stalk rises as if by a self-acting hinge. Figure 14 III. shows part of an oat stalk which has become erect in this way. All corn plants, at least when their stalks are growing vigorously, have much the same power of recovery from the effects of violent storms. With maize, however, there is this difference, that instead of having a sheath ring play the most important part in bending the stalk, it depends in this matter mainly upon its stout lower inter- nodes. These retain for a considerable time the same power of curving in case of need as displayed by a sheath ring. Defenses against Drought. Rainstorms, for all their violence, are not so hard a trial for field plants as drought. It has been estimated that wheat, under ordinarily favorable conditions, absorbs from the earth, and transpires, or breathes out through its foliage each day, an amount of water about equal to the weight of the plant. In an acre of wheat, during the course of the growing season, this would mean a loss of two hundred and fifty tons. Long continuance of dry wind and hot sun, by promoting loss of moisture from the foliage, would increase very much the amount thus withdrawn each day.

Crossing the Water $10.99 Wuthering Heights The horizons ring me like fag-gots, Tilted and disparate, and always unstable. Touched by a match, they might warm me, And their fine lines singe The air to orange Before the distances they pin evaporate, Weighting the pale sky with a solider color. But they only dissolve and dissolve Like a series of promises, as I step forward. There is no life higher than the grasstops Or the hearts of sheep, and the wind Pours by like destiny, bending Everything in one direction. I can feel it trying To funnel my heat away. If I pay the roots of the heather Too close attention, they will invite me To whiten my bones among them. The sheep know where they are, Browsing in their dirty wool-clouds, Grey as the weather. The black slots of their pupils take me in. It is like being mailed into space, A thin, silly message. They stand about in grandmotherly disguise, All wig curls and yellow teeth And hard, marbly baas. I come to wheel ruts, and water Limpid as the solitudes That flee through my fingers. Hollow doorsteps go from grass to grass; Lintel and sill have unhinged themselves. Of people the air only Remembers a few odd syllables. It rehearses them moaningly: Black stone, black stone. The sky leans on me, me, the one upright Among all horizontals. The grass is beating its bead distractedly. It is too delicate For a life in such company; Darkness terrifies it. Now, in valleys narrow And black as purses, the house lights Gleam like smallchange. |
