Daily I search the realms of Hades
For the soul of the hawk,
That I may offer him the friendship
Of one whom life wounded and caged.
(The Unknown)
More Quotes from Edgar Lee Masters:
But in taking life for myself,In seizing and crushing their souls,
As a child crushes grapes and drinks
From its palms the purple juice,
I came to this wingless void,
Where neither red, nor gold, nor wine,
Nor the rhythm of life are known.
Edgar Lee Masters
After wandering afar, over the world,
Life in cities, marriages, motehrhood--
(They all married, and I am homeless, alone.
Edgar Lee Masters
If the excursion train to Peoria
Had just been wrecked, I might have escaped with my life --
Certainly I should have escaped this place.
Edgar Lee Masters
But not a cell in all the tree
Knew aught save that it thrilled with life,
Nor cared because the hammock fell
In the dust with Milton's poems.
Edgar Lee Masters
And the old soldier is struck with silence,
Or his mind flies away
Because he cannot concentrate it on Gettysburg.
Edgar Lee Masters
the bait that you crave is in view:
A woman with money you want to marry,
Presitge, place, or power in the world.

I'm wide open and will entertain anything anybody has to say, but if it's MTV and radio, well, they're great things, but can't be the only thing. I don't know that it would work even for the Beatles.
