Arts & Humanities - 15 December 2007

When my love swears that she is made of truth
I do believe her, though I know she lies,
That she might think me some untutor'd youth,
Unlearned in the world's false subtleties.
Thus vainly thinking that she thinks me young,
Although she knows my days are past the best,
Simply I credit her false-speaking tongue:
On both sides thus is simple truth suppress'd.
But wherefore says she not she is unjust?
And wherefore say not I that I am old?
O, love's best habit is in seeming trust,
And age in love loves not to have years told:
Therefore I lie with her and she with me,
And in our faults by lies we flatter'd be.

"... sound?" When the answer to me has always been obvious.

Sound is defined as: "the sensation produced by stimulation of the organs of hearing by vibrations transmitted through the air or other medium"

Based on that definition, it is clear that with no one or no animal around to register the vibrations in the air, the tree has not made any sound at all.

There, I have just answered one of life's great mysteries for you. You're welcome.

"Thus was I, sleeping, by a brother's hand/Of life, of crown, of queen, at once dispatch'd:/Cut off even in the blossoms of my sin, /Unhousel'd, disappointed, unanel'd, /No reckoning made, but sent to my account / With all my imperfections on my head"
- The ghost talking to hamlet in act 1, sc5


which theme does this relate to out of these:
-disorder is dangerous/unacceptable so order must be restored
-a hero's fatal flaw will lead to tragedy
-appearances do not match with reality


and explain briefly please :( i personally don't think it really goes with any but my teacher said we had to use one of those!

There is a specific reason that I have chosen to put this question in this section. I want only deep and philosophical answers that require much thought and consideration. Only a best effort answer will get the truly-deserved ten points.

Good luck to you all! May the best human win.

*****
The Tinkerer

“Pots and Pans! Pots and Pans!”
The tinker’s out front with his cart…
“Tea kettles mended! Fire place swept!”
Whatever needs done…he can,

“Clean up the yard, stitch a hem!”
He’s a crafty old geezer, is he,
“Solder or paste! Knobs replaced!”
Bring things broken to him,

“Garden weeded! Fix a screen!”
No riddle gets the better of him,
“Doors unlocked! Steps replaced!”
He’s got a good eye, a good bean.

Oh what a great feast it will be,
I serve the traditional way,
Exactly at quarter to three,

Pate’ with a spread of green peas,
Some hot soup, or maybe sorbet,
Oh what a great feast it will be,

Then I’ll make fish, not too fishy,
A leek and red onion entrée,
Exactly at quarter to three,

Next comes beef from Kansas City,
Brisket smoking since yesterday,
Oh what a great feast it will be,

The baker bringing something sweet,
Cut flowers for center bouquet,
Exactly at a quarter to three,

Ready to blanch, fry, broil and heat,
Stir, add, blend, melt, mix and puree,
Oh what a great feast it will be,
Exactly at a quarter to three,

Midnight Thinker


It’s Twelve o’clock at night,
Wishing I could sleep.
I lay here, thinking of the day.
And while each day passes,
I long even more to hold you forever.


What do you think?

moment, would you try to do away with your self before that? and if so what would you do so that it would not be painful and you would be for sure that it would end it for you? do you think anyone can ever know that kind of a thing or is it just a hypothetical guess?

How can you?

How can i make you feel the pain you handed me?
How can i make you see?
How can you ruthlessly cut the strings of life?
from this pitiful existence?
and then walked all over me without a glance?
Did you think i was numb, i do not know love?
nor could i bleed..not even an ounce?

How can I?
How can you?

you crushed my heart
you tore it apart!
