One of my great-uncles decided he wanted to get married after he got back from serving in WWI - preferably to a cousin - which he did. He had migrated to Australia prior to the war, and after the war went to England and married a cousin in 1919. He and his wife returned to Australia and had 2 kids.

Why did he prefer to marry a cousin over someone else? Was that acceptable back then - or was my uncle just a bit strange?

Hey can you read this intro. paragraph for me and tell me if it sounds ok. I'm not sure I like the first part but I'm not so sure about the rest of it.

I have always thought there was only one type of love, which is that feeling of overwhelming liking to someone else. I am aware that lust does exist and that it is seperate from love, being that the desire for someones body rather than their mind. In Plato's Symposium, Plato speaks of many different types of love, loves that can be taken as lust as well. He writes of six different points of view on love, coming from the speakers that attend Agathon's dinner party. Although all the men have excellent arguements on their definitons of love, it is Socrates who gives the best definition of all. Socrates gets his definition from a woman named Diotamia.

I could use all the help I can get so if anyone has any ideas on how to improve this please let me know. Thanks!

I need a few for a group presentation..my friends already took the good ones below:


So full of artless jealousy is guilt,
It spills itself in fearing to be spilt.

and

But look, the morn in russet mantle clad/ Walks o’er the dew of yon high eastward hill.

I have a few other ones but they are very short (3-5) words, so i need something that is as long as the ones listed above.

Everyone always says they remember exactly what they were doing and where they were when they found out that President Kennedy had been shot. It happened 29 years before I was born, but I've recently become fascinated by the Kennedys, and tomorrow is the anniversary of the assassination, so I'm just wondering, where were you, what were you doing, how did you find out, and how did you react?

I play piano and sing, (go to a high school of the arts) and the other day my piano teacher told us in great detail how extraordinarily hard it is to play by ear. I don't know about anybody else, but I find this task quite easy. I can listen to a song on the radio and after about twenty minutes playing on the piano, trying to pick out the right notes, be able to play the first part or so of it in both hands. Is this unusual?

I came to the conclusion that we don't usually make any "one time" mistakes, but it's parts of our behaviour that describe us, that are a part of us, untill we realise the wrong and change it. So most of the mistakes we make in life are, in a way, a part of our lifestyle, separated in periods, just like the good things we do.

So, what is signifiant about your lifestyle, how would you define it in little words?

"The mysteriousness of ink"

Taking up the forgotten pen
Drawing lines of black across my arms
Tracing edges of leaves, petals, stems
To form a group of roses
An area of darkness amid pale skin
The mass appears to absorb into my pores
Becoming a part of me
Skin with ink
Mixing with the unknown

From the point of the pen
More ink emerges
The black changes to form
Reds, greens, purples, yellows, blues…
Amid these colors
Two particularly stand out
Reds and greens dribble
Down the contours in my skin
To collect in the center of my arms
Mixing together
Separating to form
The green of the leaves, the stems
The red of the petals
An abundance of roses
Seductive, lustrous, lively
On the skin of my arms

Only love lasts.....
The fame of the world, the applause given to the one who speaks with the tongues of men and of angels, who attracts admiration and compels attention, it is all given to what is passing, it is really worthless, if it lacks that God quality......LOVE???

I once read a poem that, if I remember correctly, was like a dialogue between two women about a man they both loved. The two women were the husband's wife, and his mistress.

The wife said her love would prevail because they had a history together, and were completely comfortable with each other.

The mistress said she would win his heart because everything was new and exciting with her. She believed the man would eventually get bored with the wife.

I may not recall this poem exactly the way it was written. I read it around 1983; it was part of a collection of poems I had to read for college.

Anyone know the name, and author? Is it written online anywhere?
