Arts & Humanities - 12 December 2007

If I sing will it leave a scar?
Beauty never looked into my eyes and took me for its own.
I wanted the glitter, the glamour, the transience,
something to cling to as life lost meaning.
Feeling wanted became a thrill I never knew.
A prayer builds behind my eyes and leaves my lips
but heaven is a closed door for me.
I will extend the invitation but I will not accept it.
That joy, that pain is for you alone,
that love a chastening rod.
I wish on a star but it falls
and in the ensuing darkness I am alone with myself.
Afraid of the mirror I turn away.
I have torn the curtains from my eyes to unveil
a world that does not want me.
My God! My God! Why have you forsaken me?
Forgive me, they are borrowed words,
but the message still rings true.
I have forgotten that which I used to hold,
forsaken that which professed to love me.
She said, "I adore you,"
then raped me with her mind.
Imprisoned in my own thoughts,
feigned insanity becomes a haven.

If in reality, there are no whole numbers. What is a 'whole' is in constant flux(even if too small to actually measure) in relation to time.
Don't know if this is a question for math or philosophy

In Neal Stephenson's Quicksilver, the character Jack Shaftoe acquires the sobriquet "L'Emmerdeur." I can't find this word in any French dictionaries, although there was a movie made by that title in the 1970s. Does anyone know what the word means? Thanks!

The Fool speaks verse,
unable to comprehend the meanings of His words
yet...
understands the complexitites of his speech
Ranting to no one and speaking to everyone,
his words echo off bare walls
Words that The Fool utters are meaningless
but have meanings that run deeper than the minds
ability to grasp or ever hope to grasp
]The fool steps forward in life,
expecting nothing,
anticipating everything.
Every foot fall is met by velvet,
velvet that turns to sand from the scorns of the masses
The fool is not really a fool but a genius in disguise,
not knowingly he speaks wisdom, wisdom we are not ready to hear
The Fool is really created by us. In our ignorance we tune out The Fool
because we do not understand nor are we willing to learn or understand.
Who is really The Fool? Is it us for shunning words of wisdom spoken by who we labelled The Fool or is it really The Fool for speaking with confidence to the ignorant masses
Again
The Fool speaks verse of of brillance

I would like to make my own blending stumps (tortillons) for pencil drawing and shading. They are not stocked in shops I live near, and I can't buy online. I have access to lots of pulp paper, though. Does anyone know how to DIY? Thanks a lot in advance!

Man hides behind The Mask of Sanity

But Socrates saw the truth and found the answer to answer all questions in existence.

Every tomorrow is a blank page....our lives are written on a pages that will never be read, for every page is thrown away.- Shades of Sorrow

Blank plus Blank is Blank.
Blank minus Blank is Blank.
Blank times Blank is Blank.
Blank divided by Blank is Blank.
All Blank that is, is Blank.
All Blank that isn't, is Blank.
Blank is Blank.
Blank is perfection. .......

I want to thank everyone’s contribution. I am happy that you guys gave this question a go. I know that there is no one right answer. This question may not require any thinking at all but actually our imaginations to answer it for us.

For me, this question talks about water. Water as precious as of all the elements in the world symbolizes spirituality. Water like many of us goes where things take them, they like to go with the flow and follow things. This can be bad for ones self-identification and their lack of individuality. People who live on nothing but water are craving for affection from others. They want to be acknowledged and loved. However, it is not about other people’s love we should seek first to be like water but to love one self before you can begin seeking love.

I would like to hear from all of your opnions !
