Education & Reference - 20 May 2007

WHEN the dark comes down, oh, the wind is on the sea
With lisping laugh and whimper to the red reef's threnody,
The boats are sailing homeward now across the harbour bar
With many a jest and many a shout from fishing grounds afar.
So furl your sails and take your rest,
Ye fisher folk so brown,
For task and quest are ended when the dark comes down.

When the dark comes down, oh, the landward valleys fill
Like brimming cups of purple, and on every landmark hill
There shines a star of twilight that is watching evermore
The low, dim-lighted meadows by the long, dim-lighted shore,
For there, where vagrant daisies weave the grass a silver crown,
The lads and lassies wander when the dark comes down.

When the dark comes down, oh, the children fall asleep,
And mothers in the fisher huts their happy vigils keep;
There's music in the song they sing and music on the sea,
The loving, lingering echoes of the twilight's litany,
For toil has folded hands to dream, and care has ceased to frown,
And every one's a lyric when the dark comes down

I was reading this on a message board and this has been bothering me all day.

"Finally, I think you'd find that the persona you have imagined I fit, based on my posts here, is far from the sarcastic a$$hole you think I am"

Now, the people on the message board think of this guy as a total sarcastic jackass.
I'm wondering if im just dumb or did he make a mistake in wording? He seems smart and uses big words all of the time.
Any help would be appreciated.

I am writing an essay of my own based on Jonathon Swifts "A Modest Proposal," in which he proposes ways to solve the problems of the abundant peasants having too many poor babies by using the impoverished babies as food, oil, and many other things. I want to write a modest proposal of my own, what are some ideas I can use for my own modest proposal, a societal problem that can be fixed with an outrageous satirical solution?

I was sitting on the hammock outside, thinking of something to do. I turned on the radio, “80 degrees and sunny today,” what gorgeous day going to waste, I thought. Although it was only 2’oclock, I was already done with my homework and chores, and pretty much bored to death.
The phone rang, “I’ll get it,” I shouted, unsure if anyone even heard.
I ran inside, and glanced at the Caller ID, and saw that my friend, Kylie was calling.
“Hey, you free?” she asked. It sounded like, she was pretty bored too.
“Oh my god, yes, I’ve been bored all day!”
After a few minutes of talking, we both decided that we should meet up, in the middle of Chase Farms, a near-by sub-division, and ride are bikes to Guernsey’s, a famous ice cream shop a few miles away. This was perfect; I finally had something exciting to do.
I got my bike and headed to Chase Farms. The scorching sun was beating down on me, and I was glad we planed for ice cream. Soon, I saw Kylie.
“Wow, this is gonna be great,” she

We used to sing this little song:

"Let's get back to the garden..you and I"
--Aaron David +1973


Shouldn't it be "you and me"? Why do you say "Let us"? Who is actually the subject anyway?

My guess is that "you and me" reflect to "us" and that the actual subject is an understood "you" or at least "somebody". I wouldn't say "Let I have some." or "Let I go to the ball game."

Can you please help make this clear? Thanks!
