"No man, no madness, though their sad power may prevail Can possess, conquer , my country's heart they rise to fail. She is eternal Long before nations lines were drawn When no flags flew, when no army stood My land was born. And you ask me why I love her through wars, death and despair: She is the constant, we who don't care And you wonder will I leave her - But how? I cross over borders but I'm still there now. How can I leave her? Where would I start? Let man's petty nations tear themselves apart. My lands only borders lie around my heart." -Chess |

"What a piece of work is man! how noble in reason! how infinite in faculty! in form and moving how express and admirable! in action how like an angel! in apprehension how like a god! the beauty of the world! the paragon of animals. I have of late, but wherefore I know not, lost all my mirth. This goodly frame, the earth seems to me a sterile promentory. This most excellent canopy, the air, look you, this brave o'erhanging firmament, this majestical roof fretted with golden fire, Why, it appears no other thing to me than a foul and pestilent congregation of vapors. What a piece of work is man! How noble in reason." -Hamlet II:2 |

This Woman's Work Pray God you can cope... I stand outside This woman's work This woman's worked Ooh, it's hard on the man Now his part is over Now starts the crop of the father I know you have a little life in you, yet I know you have a lot of strength left. I know you have a little life in you, yet I know you have a lot of strength left.

Oh, darling- make it go, make it go away. Give me these moments back. Give them back to me. Give me that little kiss. Give me your hand. I know you have a little life in you yet. I know you have a lot of strength left. I should be crying but I just can't let it show I should be hoping but I can't stop thinking of all the things we should've said that we never said all the things we should've done that we never did all the things that you needed from me all the things that you wanted for me all the things I should've given but I didn't. Oh, darling- make it go away. Just make it go away now. -Kate Bush |
