And I am dumb to tell the crooked rose My youth is bent by the same wintry fever. The force that drives the water through the rocks Drives my red blood; that dries the mouthing streams Turns mine to wax. And I am dumb to mouth unto my veins How at the mountain spring the same mouth sucks. The hand that whirls the water in the pool Stirs the quicksand; that ropes the blowing wind Hauls my shroud sail. And I am dumb to tell the hanging man How of my clay is made the hangman's lime. The lips of time leech to the fountain head; Love drips and gathers, but the fallen blood Shall calm her sores. And I am dumb to tell a weather's wind How time has ticked a heaven round the stars. And I am dumb to tell the lover's tomb How at my sheet goes the same crooked worm.<br />Submited by nbr 22, November 2008 Sat, 22 Nov 2008 08:41:09 GMT http://www.bigeye.com/theforce.htm http://www.bigeye.com/theforce.htm Aeschylus, Eumenides (full text, English and Greek) Submited by nbr 22, November 2008 Sat, 22 Nov 2008 07:52:54 GMT http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text.jsp?doc=Perseus:text:1999.01.0006 http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text.jsp?doc=Perseus:text:1999.01.0006 25 Banned Books That You Should Read Today Submited by yatot 22, November 2008 Sat, 22 Nov 2008 06:34:44 GMT http://degreedirectory.org/articles/25_Banned_Books_That_You_Should_Read_Today.html http://degreedirectory.org/articles/25_Banned_Books_That_You_Should_Read_Today.html Author Robert J.
