| The Capitol Building, Washington DC, Wednesday, 6 January 2021. |
The day is almost done.
Be at my side, behold the sight
Of evening on the land.
The life, my love, is hard
And heavy is my heart.
How should I live if you should leave
And we should be apart?
Come, let me hold you tight
Upon the edge of night.
The shadow falls and darkness calls,
The sun has sunk from sight.
The world hangs by a thread
And all the heroes fled.
Like weathered stone, we stand alone
And watch the east in dread.
Be with me in the storm
When angry gods are born.
When flesh is rent and love is spent
And bloody is the dawn.
Oh, come, my little one, come.
The day is almost done.
Be at my side, behold the sight
Of evening on the land.

Very good Chris.

Fancy quoting Ronald Reagan with gravitas. He was a well-known raconteur.
ReplyDeleteHere is one that sounds rational for a neo liberal POV. Followed by another that indicates a certain flightiness of mind waiting for the comedy call.
Surround yourself with the best people you can find, delegate authority, and don't interfere as long as the policy you've decided upon is being carried out.
Ronald Reagan
You can tell a lot about a fellow's character by his way of eating jellybeans.

A lot of his quotes are anti-government, pro-robust individualism, and calling on God as an authority. The USA can't afford to do that; they nailed their religious principles to a tree centuries ago, and left them there.
