Hamlet Limerick

Hamlet said "Yo Ma, the King's a sleaze,
a pestilent, arrogant disease.
He calls you his dove,
offers wonton love,
yet he's Danish, not even Chinese."

Quotation of the Day

In terms of the universe, what we do every day matters not at all; but in the realm of the human heart, it matters terribly.

Voltaire

something romantic for a rainy day

somewhere i have never travelled,gladly beyond
by E. E. Cummings
somewhere i have never travelled,gladly beyond any experience,your eyes have their silence: in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me, or which i cannot touch because they are too near your slightest look easily will unclose me though i have closed myself as fingers, you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens (touching skilfully,mysteriously)her first rose or if your wish be to close me, i and my life will shut very beautifully ,suddenly, as when the heart of this flower imagines the snow carefully everywhere descending; nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals the power of your intense fragility:whose texture compels me with the color of its countries, rendering death and forever with each breathing (i do not know what it is about you that closes and opens;only something in me understands the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses) nobody,not even the rain,has such small hands

Quotation for a Rainy Day

It is important that students bring a certain ragamuffin, barefoot irreverence to their studies; they are not here to worship what is known, but to question it.
