Ozymandias
I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: “Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
‘My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!’
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”
“Coimhéad fearg fhear na foighde”
Beware of the anger of a patient man.
I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself. A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself.
In a room where people unanimously maintain a conspiracy of silence, one word of truth sounds like a pistol shot.
Happy for the new puppy.
“happiness is a warm puppy”
Thanks for the post. Puppies are (for the most part) concentrated happiness. All the best to you and yours. Happy Thanksgiving.
Congrats on the new pup…that’s a whole lotta happiness lying there.
And that tummy just begs for a belly rub! 🙂
…and a happy Thanksgiving right back to you.
That is all there is to life right there on the floor, a good family, good food and a warm hearth. What more can one ask for aside from good scotch and loyal pup?,
Happy Thanksgiving nd a scratch on th belly of the new Dog.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Looks like the dog ate most of the turkey! >};o)
Great news about the pup!
We lost our dog Keisel abruptly due to some twisted gut malady. We immediately went looking and found a sweet pup, also.
Cant live in the boonies without a dog.
But i sure do miss Keisel.
It took me a few months to grieve my lost dog before I could begin the cycle again. I’m glad I finally got a pup though. Thanksgiving seems an excellent time for renewal.
Puppies are medicine for the soul.
Aren’t dogs the coolest ? Meet a total stranger, they lay down and show them their balls. Be sort of awkward if humans did that.
