O.k. so this is a very free verse type of poem... no iambs and stuff at least not intentionally... just want to know what you think..?

The Coming...

An excitement masked by clouds,
sweet but not yet here,
anticipated with the air of uncertainty,
foreseen but not fulfilled,
like the message of good news
which only the messenger keeps
closed in his heart,
yet running, rushing towards bursting
of the inner hidden bloom.
The light one of a constant dawn
or dusk
for that matter.
A time of twilight;
the perfect mood.
Not dead but not yet born either.
The peak of potential.
Fulfillment or doom.

Is it possible that mankind had more abilities with the powers of nature and instinct and that we were blessed with the magical powers of old? But now evolution with technology and all has made us into non-believers, reality worshippers, and less faith in everything. More monetary and material minded? Like maybe we were more primitive before and the balance of that was a gift of magic? After all none of us in the last 1000 thousand years have seen any miracles. Maybe it is all relative to Jesus as well. Maybe he needed to be born then because we were more primitive and G-D being all knowing and time wise knew we would be at a point that we are now inertia? The more we evolve and the more sophisticated as we get, is not passive or peace loving it is more lazy and more to the point selfish, and that we don't want anything to bother our dreams of life which is mostly monetary?

I don't know if I should, and I don't know how to do it. I want to shoot her at the beach but I also don't want to do anything good for her, and i know she would actually enjoy it. I'm a photographer :p and she dumped me a year ago. She wants me to shoot her for about an hour or so. I have the necessary equipment and all, its going to be nice out tomorrow to so lighting wont be a problem. I just kinda don't want to do anything nice for her, yet at the same time i dont want to mess up her pictures if i do it because then I'll look like a bad photographer. If i do it, i also don't know what to take.. she thinks she's a model now so she'll want model quality shots and I don't really do that type of photography. suggestions? should i just make up an excuse? should I just take the pictures? Anyone know any good sites with tips?

As a hero of the Second War of Independence, President Andrew Johnson, who was also a hero of that war, appointed me a lighthouse keeper. In my home state, where I was a lighthouse keeper, the state named two towns after me and both of those towns town erected a statue of me in my honor. The mid-Atlantic lighthouse I served at until my death is no longer standing. I also built the first ship of its kind in my state and a plaque was erected to commemorate that happening. What is my name and what lighthouse was I a keeper at?

Please suggest only easily available materials and techniques, as highly special materials for rust removal may not be available in India.
I don't feel like throwing them away, as many of them are very old and ingenious (made pre-World War II), and you don't get such cleverly made tools any more.

Some people achieve great financial wealth and professional success, and yet they feel miserable. Other people may not achieve great financial wealth but still achieve professional success and feel wonderful. Still others may achieve neither, and yet, they may be either content or miserable. So its obvious that neither financial wealth nor professional success (either together or separately) necessarily brings about happiness in life. What does?

A couple of months ago a user asked if anyone knew the aria which was played during the episode of this recent series featuring the painting 'The Death of Marat' by the artist David.
Unfortunately the question did not receive a satisfactory answer.

I have sought the answer in the classical music departments of several music stores and made an extensive internet search - including the site dedicated to the series - all to no avail.
I have also e-mailed the BBC who astonishingly have told me they have no idea!

So I am now begging for an answer as I simply have to have this piece of music in my collection!

Can you help . . . please?
