In Keeping Home

I wish to write to you of your loss dear child,
but I fear that words will go unheard.
Your grieving has left you with deaf ears,
and blindness to the day.

And recovery has always been a step away, beyond your walls;
the undiscovered joys of abandoned rooms,
and times unspent.
After tidying up that last event, and leaving it as it was
in your mind,
the banners, the streams-
the corks and shutes
of newlyweds and a thousand gifts,
unopened.
And now the rug bears no stain,
but shadow and light,
and the bed is still neatly made.

And your world continues to fade,
behind the storms, the bleary pane,
and the darkness of your day.

And words are lost, dear child,
lost among the draft that passes through,
the heaving past upon your lap,
ever since he's gone away.

You always used to say, that
love should last forever.
It was in your eyes,
the danger, the subdued cry;

memories were not meant to imprison.

My child, I feel I should run to you,
but I choose not to stand in your way
lead you through the heavy fortress you've made;
I will not sully your memory
of the day.

But pain is the breath of madness,
and too often ignored-
it is the fog that lines our windows,
until it is wiped away.

It's for my final year project and i'm designing a fashion museum. And it mostly showcases costumes used during weddings and festival occasion worn by the Malays, chinese, indians and eurasians. So far naming it "the costume museum" doesnt seem eye-catching. care to suggest?

How can I explain the usage of E#, B#, Cb, and Fb? I think that they actually do exist (yes they are the same as F, C, B and E naturals) but my parents say that those note names such as E# are necessary in some instances, but not used all the time. In some ways I think that they are right by saying that they are just necessary at certain times like with keys with 6+ sharps or flats and also with such chords that require them, like the A augmented chord (A-C#-E#). Are they right or do you think they don't exist?

That is Injuns. I mean how would she know she was the prettiest squaw in the tribe.

Or how was warpaint applied. By other warriors in the wigwam?

Excuse the ignorance, I come from England where the natives got bashed up by the Romans a long time ago. They would see their blue faces in the shiny Roman armour before they were stabbed to death by the short sword.

it gives you lots of money
it gives you lots of respect from people
usually a career offering lots of money and respect from people would require you to take time away from fun and entertainment and do some hard work but in acting you are right in the center of the world of fun and entertainment all the time.

Several years ago, I bought several "bookworms"-- metal book-holders shaped like an L with an elongated horizontal stroke that coils back on itself. It serves the same purpose as a pair of bookends, but because it's all one piece,it holds books much more securely--it can't slide apart. Now I can't find them. An online search just turns up cute sculptures and other things that aren't it. Can anyone help?
