As he lies in bed that night, waiting for sleep to come, there’s one image that won’t leave him. All he can see when he closes his eyes is the Captain’s face in the moment before a firework explodes, his eyes tracing its path up the sky, his presence completely steady at Pat’s side.
This is my first time reading say don't go by @waydownatthebottomofnovember, and just like Pat, as I lay in bed waiting for sleep to come, this image wouldn't leave me

In Memoriam // Alfred, Lord Tennyson
Strong Son of God, immortal Love,
Whom we, that have not seen thy face,
By faith, and faith alone, embrace,
Believing where we cannot prove;
Thine are these orbs of light and shade;
Thou madest Life in man and brute;
Thou madest Death; and lo, thy foot
Is on the skull which thou hast made.
Thou wilt not leave us in the dust:
Thou madest man, he knows not why,
He thinks he was not made to die;
And thou hast made him: thou art just.
Thou seemest human and divine,
The highest, holiest manhood, thou.
Our wills are ours, we know not how;
Our wills are ours, to make them thine.
Our little systems have their day;
They have their day and cease to be:
They are but broken lights of thee,
And thou, O Lord, art more than they.
We have but faith: we cannot know;
For knowledge is of things we see
And yet we trust it comes from thee,
A beam in darkness: let it grow.
Let knowledge grow from more to more,
But more of reverence in us dwell;
That mind and soul, according well,
May make one music as before,
But vaster. We are fools and slight;
We mock thee when we do not fear:
But help thy foolish ones to bear;
Help thy vain worlds to bear thy light.
Forgive what seem'd my sin in me;
What seem'd my worth since I began;
For merit lives from man to man,
And not from man, O Lord, to thee.
Forgive my grief for one removed,
Thy creature, whom I found so fair.
I trust he lives in thee, and there
I find him worthier to be loved.
Forgive these wild and wandering cries,
Confusions of a wasted youth;
Forgive them where they fail in truth,
And in thy wisdom make me wise.
I
I held it truth, with him who sings
To one clear harp in divers tones,
That men may rise on stepping-stones
Of their dead selves to higher things.
But who shall so forecast the years
And find in loss a gain to match?
Or reach a hand thro' time to catch
The far-off interest of tears?
Let Love clasp Grief lest both be drown'd,
Let darkness keep her raven gloss:
Ah, sweeter to be drunk with loss,
To dance with death, to beat the ground,
Than that the victor Hours should scorn
The long result of love, and boast,
`Behold the man that loved and lost,
But all he was is overworn.'
II
Old Yew, which graspest at the stones
That name the under-lying dead,
Thy fibres net the dreamless head,
Thy roots are wrapt about the bones.
The seasons bring the flower again,
And bring the firstling to the flock;
And in the dusk of thee, the clock
Beats out the little lives of men.
O, not for thee the glow, the bloom,
Who changest not in any gale,
Nor branding summer suns avail
To touch thy thousand years of gloom:
And gazing on thee, sullen tree,
Sick for thy stubborn hardihood,
I seem to fail from out my blood
And grow incorporate into thee.
III
O Sorrow, cruel fellowship,
O Priestess in the vaults of Death,
��O sweet and bitter in a breath,
What whispers from thy lying lip?
'The stars,' she whispers, `blindly run;
A web is wov'n across the sky;
From out waste places comes a cry,
And murmurs from the dying sun:
'And all the phantom, Nature, stands—
With all the music in her tone,
A hollow echo of my own,—
A hollow form with empty hands.'
And shall I take a thing so blind,
Embrace her as my natural good;
Or crush her, like a vice of blood,
Upon the threshold of the mind?
IV
To Sleep I give my powers away;
My will is bondsman to the dark;
I sit within a helmless bark,
And with my heart I muse and say:
O heart, how fares it with thee now,
That thou should'st fail from thy desire,
Who scarcely darest to inquire,
'What is it makes me beat so low?'
Something it is which thou hast lost,
Some pleasure from thine early years.
Break, thou deep vase of chilling tears,
That grief hath shaken into frost!
Such clouds of nameless trouble cross
All night below the darken'd eyes;
With morning wakes the will, and cries,
'Thou shalt not be the fool of loss.'
V
I sometimes hold it half a sin
To put in words the grief I feel;
For words, like Nature, half reveal
And half conceal the Soul within.
But, for the unquiet heart and brain,
A use in measured language lies;
The sad mechanic exercise,
Like dull narcotics, numbing pain.
In words, like weeds, I'll wrap me o'er,
Like coarsest clothes against the cold:
But that large grief which these enfold
Is given in outline and no more.
VI
One writes, that `Other friends remain,'
That `Loss is common to the race'—
And common is the commonplace,
And vacant chaff well meant for grain.
That loss is common would not make
My own less bitter, rather more:
Too common! Never morning wore
To evening, but some heart did break.
O father, wheresoe'er thou be,
Who pledgest now thy gallant son;
A shot, ere half thy draught be done,
Hath still'd the life that beat from thee.
O mother, praying God will save
Thy sailor,—while thy head is bow'd,
His heavy-shotted hammock-shroud
Drops in his vast and wandering grave.
Ye know no more than I who wrought
At that last hour to please him well;
Who mused on all I had to tell,
And something written, something thought;
Expecting still his advent home;
And ever met him on his way
With wishes, thinking, `here to-day,'
Or `here to-morrow will he come.'
O somewhere, meek, unconscious dove,
That sittest ranging golden hair;
And glad to find thyself so fair,
Poor child, that waitest for thy love!
For now her father's chimney glows
In expectation of a guest;
And thinking `this will please him best,'
She takes a riband or a rose;
For he will see them on to-night;
And with the thought her colour burns;
And, having left the glass, she turns
Once more to set a ringlet right;
And, even when she turn'd, the curse
Had fallen, and her future Lord
Was drown'd in passing thro' the ford,
Or kill'd in falling from his horse.
O what to her shall be the end?
And what to me remains of good?
To her, perpetual maidenhood,
And unto me no second friend.
VII
Dark house, by which once more I stand
Here in the long unlovely street,
Doors, where my heart was used to beat
So quickly, waiting for a hand,
A hand that can be clasp'd no more—
Behold me, for I cannot sleep,
And like a guilty thing I creep
At earliest morning to the door.
He is not here; but far away
The noise of life begins again,
And ghastly thro' the drizzling rain
On the bald street breaks the blank day.
VIII
A happy lover who has come
To look on her that loves him well,
Who 'lights and rings the gateway bell,
And learns her gone and far from home;
He saddens, all the magic light
Dies off at once from bower and hall,
And all the place is dark, and all
The chambers emptied of delight:
So find I every pleasant spot
In which we two were wont to meet,
The field, the chamber, and the street,
For all is dark where thou art not.
Yet as that other, wandering there
In those deserted walks, may find
A flower beat with rain and wind,
Which once she foster'd up with care;
So seems it in my deep regret,
O my forsaken heart, with thee
And this poor flower of poesy
Which little cared for fades not yet.
But since it pleased a vanish'd eye,
I go to plant it on his tomb,
That if it can it there may bloom,
Or, dying, there at least may die.
IX
Fair ship, that from the Italian shore
Sailest the placid ocean-plains
With my lost Arthur's loved remains,
Spread thy full wings, and waft him o'er.
So draw him home to those that mourn
In vain; a favourable speed
Ruffle thy mirror'd mast, and lead
Thro' prosperous floods his holy urn.
All night no ruder air perplex
Thy sliding keel, till Phosphor, bright
As our pure love, thro' early light
Shall glimmer on the dewy decks.
Sphere all your lights around, above;
Sleep, gentle heavens, before the prow;
Sleep, gentle winds, as he sleeps now,
My friend, the brother of my love;
My Arthur, whom I shall not see
Till all my widow'd race be run;
Dear as the mother to the son,
More than my brothers are to me.
X
I hear the noise about thy keel;
I hear the bell struck in the night:
I see the cabin-window bright;
I see the sailor at the wheel.
Thou bring'st the sailor to his wife,
And travell'd men from foreign lands;
And letters unto trembling hands;
And, thy dark freight, a vanish'd life.
So bring him; we have idle dreams:
This look of quiet flatters thus
Our home-bred fancies. O to us,
The fools of habit, sweeter seems
To rest beneath the clover sod,
That takes the sunshine and the rains,
Or where the kneeling hamlet drains
The chalice of the grapes of God;
Than if with thee the roaring wells
Should gulf him fathom-deep in brine;
And hands so often clasp'd in mine,
Should toss with tangle and with shells.
XI
Calm is the morn without a sound,
Calm as to suit a calmer grief,
And only thro' the faded leaf
The chestnut pattering to the ground:
Calm and deep peace on this high world,
And on these dews that drench the furze,
And all the silvery gossamers
That twinkle into green and gold:
Calm and still light on yon great plain
That sweeps with all its autumn bowers,
And crowded farms and lessening towers,
To mingle with the bounding main:
Calm and deep peace in this wide air,
These leaves that redden to the fall;
And in my heart, if calm at all,
If any calm, a calm despair:
Calm on the seas, and silver sleep,
And waves that sway themselves in rest,
And dead calm in that noble breast
Which heaves but with the heaving deep.
XII
Lo, as a dove when up she springs
To bear thro' Heaven a tale of woe,
Some dolorous message knit below
The wild pulsation of her wings;
Like her I go; I cannot stay;
I leave this mortal ark behind,
A weight of nerves without a mind,
And leave the cliffs, and haste away
O'er ocean-mirrors rounded large,
And reach the glow of southern skies,
And see the sails at distance rise,
And linger weeping on the marge,
And saying; `Comes he thus, my friend?
Is this the end of all my care?'
And circle moaning in the air:
'Is this the end? Is this the end?'
And forward dart again, and play
About the prow, and back return
To where the body sits, and learn
That I have been an hour away.
XIII
Tears of the widower, when he sees
A late-lost form that sleep reveals,
And moves his doubtful arms, and feels
Her place is empty, fall like these;
Which weep a loss for ever new,
A void where heart on heart reposed;
And, where warm hands have prest and closed,
Silence, till I be silent too.
Which weep the comrade of my choice,
An awful thought, a life removed,
The human-hearted man I loved,
A Spirit, not a breathing voice.
Come, Time, and teach me, many years,
I do not suffer in a dream;
For now so strange do these things seem,
Mine eyes have leisure for their tears;
My fancies time to rise on wing,
And glance about the approaching sails,
As tho' they brought but merchants' bales,
And not the burthen that they bring.
XIV
If one should bring me this report,
That thou hadst touch'd the land to-day,
And I went down unto the quay,
And found thee lying in the port;
And standing, muffled round with woe,
Should see thy passengers in rank
Come stepping lightly down the plank,
And beckoning unto those they know;
And if along with these should come
The man I held as half-divine;
Should strike a sudden hand in mine,
And ask a thousand things of home;
And I should tell him all my pain,
And how my life had droop'd of late,
And he should sorrow o'er my state
And marvel what possess'd my brain;
And I perceived no touch of change,
No hint of death in all his frame,
But found him all in all the same,
I should not feel it to be strange.
XV
To-night the winds begin to rise
And roar from yonder dropping day:
The last red leaf is whirl'd away,
The rooks are blown about the skies;
The forest crack'd, the waters curl'd,
The cattle huddled on the lea;
And wildly dash'd on tower and tree
The sunbeam strikes along the world:
And but for fancies, which aver
That all thy motions gently pass
Athwart a plane of molten glass,
I scarce could brook the strain and stir
That makes the barren branches loud;
And but for fear it is not so,
The wild unrest that lives in woe
Would dote and pore on yonder cloud
That rises upward always higher,
And onward drags a labouring breast,
And topples round the dreary west,
A looming bastion fringed with fire.
XVI
What words are these have falle'n from me?
Can calm despair and wild unrest
Be tenants of a single breast,
Or sorrow such a changeling be?
Or cloth she only seem to take
The touch of change in calm or storm;
But knows no more of transient form
In her deep self, than some dead lake
That holds the shadow of a lark
Hung in the shadow of a heaven?
Or has the shock, so harshly given,
Confused me like the unhappy bark
That strikes by night a craggy shelf,
And staggers blindly ere she sink?
And stunn'd me from my power to think
And all my knowledge of myself;
And made me that delirious man
Whose fancy fuses old and new,
And flashes into false and true,
And mingles all without a plan?
XVII
Thou comest, much wept for: such a breeze
Compell'd thy canvas, and my prayer
Was as the whisper of an air
To breathe thee over lonely seas.
For I in spirit saw thee move
Thro' circles of the bounding sky,
Week after week: the days go by:
Come quick, thou bringest all I love.
Henceforth, wherever thou may'st roam,
My blessing, like a line of light,
Is on the waters day and night,
And like a beacon guards thee home.
So may whatever tempest mars
Mid-ocean, spare thee, sacred bark;
And balmy drops in summer dark
Slide from the bosom of the stars.
So kind an office hath been done,
Such precious relics brought by thee;
The dust of him I shall not see
Till all my widow'd race be run.
XVIII
'Tis well; 'tis something; we may stand
Where he in English earth is laid,
And from his ashes may be made
The violet of his native land.
'Tis little; but it looks in truth
As if the quiet bones were blest
Among familiar names to rest
And in the places of his youth.
Come then, pure hands, and bear the head
That sleeps or wears the mask of sleep,
And come, whatever loves to weep,
And hear the ritual of the dead.
Ah yet, ev'n yet, if this might be,
I, falling on his faithful heart,
Would breathing thro' his lips impart
The life that almost dies in me;
That dies not, but endures with pain,
And slowly forms the firmer mind,
Treasuring the look it cannot find,
The words that are not heard again.
XIX
The Danube to the Severn gave
The darken'd heart that beat no more;
They laid him by the pleasant shore,
And in the hearing of the wave.
There twice a day the Severn fills;
The salt sea-water passes by,
And hushes half the babbling Wye,
And makes a silence in the hills.
The Wye is hush'd nor moved along,
And hush'd my deepest grief of all,
When fill'd with tears that cannot fall,
I brim with sorrow drowning song.
The tide flows down, the wave again
Is vocal in its wooded walls;
My deeper anguish also falls,
And I can speak a little then.
XX
The lesser griefs that may be said,
That breathe a thousand tender vows,
Are but as servants in a house
Where lies the master newly dead;
Who speak their feeling as it is,
And weep the fulness from the mind:
`It will be hard,' they say, `to find
Another service such as this.'
My lighter moods are like to these,
That out of words a comfort win;
But there are other griefs within,
And tears that at their fountain freeze;
For by the hearth the children sit
Cold in that atmosphere of Death,
And scarce endure to draw the breath,
Or like to noiseless phantoms flit;
But open converse is there none,
So much the vital spirits sink
To see the vacant chair, and think,
'How good! how kind! and he is gone.'
XXI
I sing to him that rests below,
And, since the grasses round me wave,
I take the grasses of the grave,
And make them pipes whereon to blow.
The traveller hears me now and then,
And sometimes harshly will he speak:
`This fellow would make weakness weak,
And melt the waxen hearts of men.'
Another answers, `Let him be,
He loves to make parade of pain
That with his piping he may gain
The praise that comes to constancy.'
A third is wroth: `Is this an hour
For private sorrow's barren song,
When more and more the people throng
The chairs and thrones of civil power?
'A time to sicken and to swoon,
When Science reaches forth her arms
To feel from world to world, and charms
Her secret from the latest moon?'
Behold, ye speak an idle thing:
Ye never knew the sacred dust:
I do but sing because I must,
And pipe but as the linnets sing:
And one is glad; her note is gay,
For now her little ones have ranged;
And one is sad; her note is changed,
Because her brood is stol'n away.
XXII
The path by which we twain did go,
Which led by tracts that pleased us well,
Thro' four sweet years arose and fell,
From flower to flower, from snow to snow:
And we with singing cheer'd the way,
And, crown'd with all the season lent,
From April on to April went,
And glad at heart from May to May:
But where the path we walk'd began
To slant the fifth autumnal slope,
As we descended following Hope,
There sat the Shadow fear'd of man;
Who broke our fair companionship,
And spread his mantle dark and cold,
And wrapt thee formless in the fold,
And dull'd the murmur on thy lip,
And bore thee where I could not see
Nor follow, tho' I walk in haste,
And think, that somewhere in the waste
The Shadow sits and waits for me.
XXIII
Now, sometimes in my sorrow shut,
Or breaking into song by fits,
Alone, alone, to where he sits,
The Shadow cloak'd from head to foot,
Who keeps the keys of all the creeds,
I wander, often falling lame,
And looking back to whence I came,
Or on to where the pathway leads;
And crying, How changed from where it ran
Thro' lands where not a leaf was dumb;
But all the lavish hills would hum
The murmur of a happy Pan:
When each by turns was guide to each,
And Fancy light from Fancy caught,
And Thought leapt out to wed with Thought
Ere Thought could wed itself with Speech;
And all we met was fair and good,
And all was good that Time could bring,
And all the secret of the Spring
Moved in the chambers of the blood;
And many an old philosophy
On Argive heights divinely sang,
And round us all the thicket rang
To many a flute of Arcady.
XXIV
And was the day of my delight
As pure and perfect as I say?
The very source and fount of Day
Is dash'd with wandering isles of night.
If all was good and fair we met,
This earth had been the Paradise
It never look'd to human eyes
Since our first Sun arose and set.
And is it that the haze of grief
Makes former gladness loom so great?
The lowness of the present state,
That sets the past in this relief?
Or that the past will always win
A glory from its being far;
And orb into the perfect star
We saw not, when we moved therein?
XXV
I know that this was Life,—the track
Whereon with equal feet we fared;
And then, as now, the day prepared
The daily burden for the back.
But this it was that made me move
As light as carrier-birds in air;
I loved the weight I had to bear,
Because it needed help of Love:
Nor could I weary, heart or limb,
When mighty Love would cleave in twain
The lading of a single pain,
And part it, giving half to him.
XXVI
Still onward winds the dreary way;
I with it; for I long to prove
No lapse of moons can canker Love,
Whatever fickle tongues may say.
And if that eye which watches guilt
And goodness, and hath power to see
Within the green the moulder'd tree,
And towers fall'n as soon as built—
Oh, if indeed that eye foresee
Or see (in Him is no before)
In more of life true life no more
And Love the indifference to be,
Then might I find, ere yet the morn
Breaks hither over Indian seas,
That Shadow waiting with the keys,
To shroud me from my proper scorn.
XXVII
I envy not in any moods
The captive void of noble rage,
The linnet born within the cage,
That never knew the summer woods:
I envy not the beast that takes
His license in the field of time,
Unfetter'd by the sense of crime,
To whom a conscience never wakes;
Nor, what may count itself as blest,
The heart that never plighted troth
But stagnates in the weeds of sloth;
Nor any want-begotten rest.
I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.

Alright. Here it is. Again, I’m sorry it took so long, but I wanted to take the opportunity to turn this into a fic I’ve actually been wanting to write for a long time, similar to that second ask.
Thank you so much for your patience. And your compliments! @forhonorandbooze you’re so sweet, and if that’s you in your icon you’re stunning as well!! @somethingscarlet13 , thank you for the opportunity to do this sort of premise.
I hope this doesn’t disappoint!
The first Saturday night of summer break, and here you are: exhausted on your bed after a long day of doing chores and housework. An old movie’s on tv- Kiss Me Deadly, a murder mystery thriller. It’s enjoyable enough, kitsch as it may be.
Suddenly the phone rings. Only after realizing the sound wasn’t coming from the film do you answer- it’s no surprise who’s on the other line.
“How’s it hangin’, hot stuff?” Stanley’s gruff voice asks, needing no introduction. “You up for some fun tonight?” His grin is audible through the receiver.
“Depends- you’re not planning on getting arrested, are you?”
“Sometimes fun ain’t got no plans. Thought we could wing it.”
It’s not like you have anything better to do. “Sure, sounds fine. Maybe the arcade? I heard they got some new pinball machines in. You driving?”
“You know it. Already there.” Just like that, he hangs up.
You take couple minutes to fix yourself up and grab a jacket before heading outside; you’re one step onto your porch before Stan’s car pulls around the corner and into the driveway.
~
The arcade was moderately full, but not too crowded. Stan’s quick to prove yet again that he can get the high score on the punching bag and test your strength machines. He insists you won ski ball on a technicality, but you would have won even if he hadn’t tried to cheat.
“Go go go go!!” You’re ecstatic as Stan’s on his last dime at the latest, space-themed pinball machine, hitting buttons in furious concentration.
“Shit!!!”
“What?!”
“Take over! I gotta piss!!”
“Oh my god, Stan-“ you roll your eyes but do as he asks when the metallic ball lulls into a still spot. “Hurry up! Don’t be mad when I win before you get back- and refill my drink while you’re over there, will ya!”
He affectionately flips you off after grabbing your empty cup and heading to the bathrooms. You pray he didn’t take the cup in there with him and left it on a counter instead, but your thoughts soon hone in on the game.
In less than a minute you beat the high score by 23 points before the last ball inevitably tumbles back into the machine, playing music triumphantly. You jump with joy in celebration and look to see if Stan is on his way back yet- only to see him leaned against the food counter talking with a beautiful brunette in baby blue.
She’s so obviously flirting, playing coy and laughing at something he says, no doubt a joke or sarcastic remark. The concession worker interrupts by handing Stan the soda pop you asked for. He takes it, then makes his infuriatingly smooth departure with a wink. You whip back around to the machine before he can catch you staring.
“Holy shit!! You did it!” he exclaims as he returns. “Wish I coulda seen it. But y’know, when nature calls-“
You can’t help but laugh and your fingers that you didn’t realize were so tense soften. “Gross.”
“Speaking of, here’s your drink.”
You take the cup from him, noting the pink color visible through the translucent plastic lid and frown. “This isn’t rootbeer-“
“Nah, it’s even better. Just try it,” he smiles.
You do, wearily, after shooting him a look- then widening your eyes in surprise. It’s delicious.
“Pink lemonade and Pitt, baby- my personal recipe.” He’s almost proud.
“Wow, look at you. Such an innovator. How long have you been sitting on this one?”
He shrugs. “Can’t go givin’ away all my secrets at once, can I?”
“Guess not… Hey- wanna head out?”
~
It wasn’t unusual that you ended up like this- with a bottle of booze or two Stan snuck from his dad (or straight up stole), various packages of junk food splayed out between the two of you on the floor of your room watching whatever’s on tv and chatting away, playing cards.
The more you drink, the less you pay attention to the old clichéd drama and the less you hide your stolen looks at Stan, lying on his back with his feet rudely propped up against your bed. His nose is a bit flushed from the alcohol, but he can’t be more than just buzzed- you’ve seen him far worse.
You shove his legs from their resting spot. “You’re getting dirt on my bed, asshole.”
He snorts, “oh please, if you were so worried about keeping it clean you wouldn’t get all those crumbs in it-“
You hit his shoulder. “Says the guy with the sticky peanut fingers!!”
He continues, unfazed: “too bad the only way yer bed’s getting dirty is from snacking-“
You hurl a bag of chips at Stan’s face. “You’re disgusting!“
“Well, don’t mind if I do!” He opens the chips and helps himself to a handful.
“Pig.”
And with one sudden motion, Stan dumps the chips out of the bag and onto your poor comforter.
He must expect your retaliation, because as you attempt to tackle him, Stan rolls and pins you to the floor instead, laughing. “Nice try.”
“Idiot!”
“You’re so cute when you pout like that.”
You hope he can’t tell how your chest fluttered at that. “Sh-shut up!”
Oh yeah, good cover.
“That’s cute too.”
You’re still pinned by his hands on your wrists- his eyes roam your face, his grin smug and brazen and infuriating. Your face feels hot- God, why did he do this to you…
He laughs at your sound of disgust. “Oh come on- you know you love me.”
Jesus, how were you supposed to keep this up…
You couldn’t take this anymore. As much as a life without Stan in it seemed unbearable, this? This had to be worse. You couldn’t pretend that this was just friendly banter, or that you were just playing the same way you used to in elementary. Doing all the things couples do, except the kissing, the touching, the declarations of love- like it was normal, like you hadn’t felt this way for ages.
Either Stan knows how you feel and doesn’t feel the same and is mercifully sparing you from the embarrassment of letting you down gently for the sake of your friendship or- oh god, he probably thought of you as a sibling or cousin….
Or maybe he was just completely clueless. That would actually be sort of impressive; as daft as he could be at times, it was blaringly obvious to everyone around you that you and Stan Pines should be an item. It’s what most assumed until awkwardly told otherwise.
You’re not sure if that option- naivety- would hurt any less. For years you had to pretend like it didn’t make your heart ache every time he flirted with beautiful girls. You had to try as best as you could to be happy for him whenever he bragged about scoring, or a new girlfriend came along. You always looked like the third wheel, whether it was with Stan and his twin brother as kids or when he was dating Carla- You always had a bad feeling about her but god, she made him so incredibly happy. As terrible as it was, when she cheated on him and they broke up, you secretly hoped that Stan got even the slightest taste of what you feel… either way, you could never get as close as you wanted. But then again, surely it must just be the booze making your sentimental…
You loved him. Stanley Pines, your best friend; you still remember the blood and snot dripping from his nose the day you came to his aid after he ate shit tumbling down the jungle gym.
He’d been a pain ever since.
But he was the one you let copy your homework. The one who took you to prom when no one asked you, who talked you into stupid shit but always made sure to get you out of it, even if it meant throwing himself under the bus.
You wished more than anything you could be content with that- but you just couldn’t. Not anymore. Not since you realized that what you felt for him wouldn’t fade.
Either he’d feel the same or you’d have to walk away- for your own sake. Even if you had to leave an immense piece of yourself behind with him.
Your mind is whirling with all this and more, a mile a minute, so when Stan leans down closer to you, you panic, shoving him away and nearly knocking him over. The way his smile falls into a devastated frown almost makes you wish you could take it back. You can’t look him in the eye for a moment.
“Don’t…” The word is all you can manage, the weight of everything you’ve felt for ages behind it, and the crack in your voice gives it away.
“Fuck, I’m- I’m so sorry,” Stan chokes, his tone drawing your eyes back to his own and they’re filled with a mix of emotions you can’t quite place. His hand on the comforter tenses into a fist as he speaks again, “I’m sorry. I thought…”
“Though what?” Tears have spilled down your cheeks by this point and the sight visably shakes Stan even further. God, you hated crying in front of him. “You thought you could just kiss me like that?!”
He reddens. “I, I thought- you! I dunno… I thought you’d be into it- that you liked me!”
You can’t help the dumb look of disbelief on your face. Your jaw must’ve hit the floor. You sputter, trying to grasp what you just heard. Was he serious?
Rage takes over and next you know, you have a pillow in your fists and are inflicting a flurry of hits to the young man, unrestrained.
“OF COURSE I FUCKING LIKE YOU YOU FUCKING MORON!” you yell between punches, ignoring the boy’s expletives. “It only took you a decade and a half to figure it out?! You piece of shit!!”
Finally Stan manages to rip the weapon away from your grasp. “Hey!! Alright, okay, hold on! Let’s talk about this!!”
You tear up again, this time with tears of anger. “Are you just trying to fuck with me? Are you fucking drunk or something?”
“N-no! I… I wanted to kiss you.”
“Since when?!” you’re flabberghasted.
“I dunno!! A while!!” He looks stupidly mortified.
“So… you knew how I felt and didn’t say anything?”
“I- I didn’t-“
But you don’t let him finish, vexation igniting in your bones. “I’ve been in love with you my entire life, and you knew, and you thought you could just- just see what you could get away with?!” You stand, ready to leave your own room and storm to who-knows-where, but Stanley stops you, grabbing onto you pleadingly.
“NO! Please, just-“ he groans in frustration, “I fucked up, but- can I please try to explain?!” His eyes bore into your own, like they do when giving you a pep talk or begging you not to tell anyone about some stunt he pulled that could get him in real trouble; but now, they’re begging you to stay, pleading for you to understand.
The anger melts away and suddenly you realize Stanley Pines is about to open up to you; moreover, the two of you just breached territory into a conversation you thought could only ever happen in your hypothetical scenarios.
You nod, and Stan’s grip on your shoulders relaxes. He moves to take a seat on the edge of your bed, sighing in relief when-
CRUNCH
There’s no hiding your laughter, even as Stan brushes the crushed chips from seat of his jeans with a grumble before pulling the blanket onto the floor along with the mess. You take a seat next to him, still giggling.
And oh man, he’s sweating already. “I mean, you know I’m not good with- words, and junk,” he murmers shyly, “but I’ll give it my best shot.”
Well, that’s all you could ever ask of him.
“I’ve uh- never been the best with women, as you’re so quick to point out- but I guess my relationship with any guy in my life ain’t the best neither,” He laughs dryly. “Somehow it always ends bad. Either I fuck up and deserve it, or I just get shit luck.”
He shifts in his spot nervously. “Point is, besides Ford, you’ve always been there for me and uh- I dunno know when I started feelin’ the way I do. Maybe it was b’fore I even realized it-”
He rubs the back of his neck awkwardly, chancing a glance to you. “And I had a feelin’ you felt somethin’ too, but uh, I didn’t wanna be wrong. I didn’t wanna mess up the only good thing I’ve got goin’ in my life now that Ford’s leavin’ and all. But, guess I was just tired of playin’ it safe.”
Now that makes you laugh. “Since when have you ever played it safe, Stan Pines?”
He chuckles, relaxing a bit. “Exactly! That’s what I thought once I got some booze in me.” His look turns serious once again.
“But, y’know- I mean it. I know I don’t got a lot goin’ for me. Everyone says I ain’t got a future and they’re probably right, but, I don’t care. S’pecially when you’re around.” His gaze meets yours and you’d be embarrassed by your tears if you weren’t so moved. His hand moves to yours slowly, hesitantly.
“You’ve put up with me through the good times and bad. Sappy as it is, I’d uh- I’d really hate t’think of a future without ya in either of ‘em. When I picture myself happy, it’s with you.”
Your voice is barely coherent through the waterworks; you can only choke out his name as your arms wrap so tightly around him it almost hurts. Though he’s taken aback for a moment, he soon calms and returns it. Neither of you had ever hugged the other like this, not even as children. His arms are like a tangible wave of relief.
It was all so much, a few of your tears trickle onto Stan’s shoulder. Pulling away, you come face-to-face, nose-to-nose, cupping his flushed cheek. Surely you had to be dreaming.
But then, your lips meet- and just like that, it all becomes real. Any fuzz surrounding your mind dissipates and is replaced with absolute euphoria.
You did it. You were doing it. Kissing Stanley Pines. Your best friend. Who you were in absolute love with.
But, it was tender and quick, almost an experimental testing of newly found waters; you separate, grinning so hard your cheeks would surely hurt if you kept it up. “I knew you were a giant sap.”
Stan belly-laughs, shifting you closer to straddle his lap. “Well, if it makes ya feel better ‘bout the pouting thing, you’re not nearly as cute when you cry.”
You gawk, smacking his shoulder. “Five seconds after kissing me and you insult me!” He’s snickering, just like his old trouble-maker self. “And you wonder why you have problems with women,” you scoff, wrapping your arms around his neck.
“We could try again?” His smirk is eager to please.
So you do, this time with more enthusiasm, more passion. He hums against your lips as your hands run through his hair. Stan breaks for air, moving to the side of your neck and leaving a peck there as his hands run along your sides. “Everythin’ you hoped I’d be?” he teases.
“I was going to ask you the same thing.”
Suddenly he seems hesitant. “Is this weird? You sure you’re fine with th-”
You cut him off, bringing his face inches from yours again, leaning your forehead against his own. ”I’m crazy about you, Stan Pines. I wouldn’t want it any other way.”
Stan’s smile is so genuine, so full of joy that you almost hate to lose the sight of it as you kiss him again and again.
“I only ask cuz we might know a lil’ too much about each other,” he warns against your lips. “Liiiike, that one spot on your shoulder-”
“No!! Stanley, don’t you dare-”
But it’s too late.
Maybe this was a bad idea after all.

Hunts and Festivals
A list a few of the hunts and festivals that happen within the tribe Metus Vescor
A note, some times of these have changed due to moving to a different planet.
The Firstling Hunt -
When a years worth of sprouts become of a certain age (about 8 seasons old), they are sent out to hunt with their Nest Mates. The Sprouts are to stick to the forest close to the village, and hunting and gathering as much as they can. The food they catch/gather is then the main part of a feast.
Time frame: Two days before the full moon is when it starts and it ends two days after the full moon is over. The Feast takes place the next night after they all return.
A Victor’s Hunt -
Happens after a battle between Floran that happens in the arena, whether it was for sport or argument. The victor holds over their victory by going out and hunting. Bringing back something for their opponent. Part of the reason this is in place is to prevent the arena from being used to settle all arguments.
Hunt of the Red Moon-
An Autumn festival, in which the Autumn Floran hunt and gather for a feast. It’s easily over shadowed by the Hunt of the Harvest, as it happens only a few weeks before.
Time frame: The autumn equinox
Hunt of the Harvest -
Takes place in the Autumn, yearly. Hunters and gathers take as much food and drink as they can to the old village (a large clearing where the village once stood long long long long ago). A large bonfire is made, and that's where the food is cooked. There is dancing and singing and partying. It usually ends in a dog-pile of sleeping Floran. The main festival is for grown Floran only. But a Sprouts version is held in the main village 3 days later.
Time frame: Mid-Autumn, after the harvest. Prep is the day before. The Festival itself is one full 24 hour day/night. There is a rest period and more preparation for the Sprouts' version of the festival 3 days later
Winter Preparations - x 2
The first bit is a large hunt in order to stock up on meats and gather some things that are harder to grow back in the village.
The Second is more a lack of hunting to be honest. But more of a festival where hunting groups go out and check on the animal populations before winter starts. Doing some minor gathering.
Hunt of No Moon -
A Winter festival, in which the Winter Floran hunt and gather for a feast. Not much is expected due to hunting in Winter being difficult. But organized by the Floran is also a performance in the arena, a complex sort of dance.
Time frame: The winter solstice
Shedding Winter’s Coat -
The First hunt after winter. No feast, just some drinks passed around. Often this is when many get their first taste of alcohol.
Hunt of the Waxing Moon -
A Spring festival, in which the Spring Floran hunt and gather for a feast. They have the sweetest of sweets during their feast. Due to many soups and many sorts of honey thawing.
Time frame: the spring equinox
Poptop Festival -
No actual hunting involved. Just the attempt to tame smaller Poptops. It’s also a sort of musical festival. There is a combative bit, where some adult ones are fought in the arena.
Time frame: the last day of Spring first day of summer
Hunt in Brightest Moon -
A Summer festival, in which the Summer Floran hunt and gather for a feast. This festival has the most meat and alcohol. Spicy herbs are frequently used to season the meats.
Time frame: the summer solstice
Burning Days -
A week long hunt that takes place in the desert far to the north. Where the Queen’s hunt goes to hunt. Living in the heated sands is far different then the coolness of the canyon and forest. In part, it is to help the Hunt bond and act better as one unit, second it is to be sure the desert creatures do not gain to much influence over part of the planet.
Once they return, a feast is held with the prey
Time frame: third full week of the second month in summer
THE HUNTING -
Queen takes one Ixodoom, a normal one, and allows it to settle in a cave far below in the planet. Then she lets the Floran go and hunt it. Once it has been killed, the Floran or Florans that killed it are crowned champions.
Then comes Queen’s favorite part. In the arena, so puts one of her Ixodoom. Created and bred just to be difficult and dangerous. She toys with it. And destroys it. It’s never difficult enough for her.
Time frame: it starts the second week, within the third month. Lasting as long as it needs to.
The Challengers Hunt -
The one that doesn't happen yearly, but when Queen needs a new council. Floran volunteer to go into the vault after Queen agitates the wildlife. Floran then fight and hunt for the biggest kills, and everyone is given the time frame of about one-two weeks. Depends on when the first person returns. Queen judges. All things hunted are used in a feast afterwards, that feast is also when Queen announces the 'winners.'

seeing life from God’s view
how do you see your life? what image is your life metaphor?
as an aspiring physician, the overwhelming feeling is such: life is a hurdling race with endless hurdles. one critical achievement simply precedes the next, rendering the time in between and the actual achievements themselves unworthy of celebration and void of merit. and you do this all while watching your competitors run right past you with seeming ease and grace.
embarrassingly enough, i realize i’ve yet to overcome the first, most basic obstacle (getting into medical school) and am humbled to find myself so arrogant and audacious as to already be worrying about the subsequent. regardless, to see life from God’s view disrupts my (albeit flawed) life metaphor, and this chapter serves as a necessary reminder of not only my purpose on this earth, but also of the gifts that await me in heaven should i choose to live accordingly.
[life as a test]
of character, faith, obedience, integrity, loyalty, etc.
by major changes, delayed promises, impossible problems, unanswered prayers, senseless tragedies
how do i act when i cant feel God’s presence in my life?
this past season has been a lonely one. i know God is far when i begin to seek comfort in other things -- whether that be mindless distraction (netflix, facebook, instragram), work, food, sleep, etc. i become numb inside, going through the daily motions of life, but without true joy or clear purpose. without God im resigned to live for myself, but that life has proven time and time again to be a sad and unfulfilling reality. i wake up each morning wanting to set goals, plan the future, make tangible progress, yet find my efforts futile during this period of unanswered prayer. and to think that God designed this life as a test terrifies me to the core because i know full well that i have already (a thousand times over) and will continue to fail Him miserably.
on the first of december i made a commitment to read through the entirety of the gospel within the month--89 chapters in 31 days--a feasible accomplishment to check off my list before the start of a new year. it is now late january and i am only halfway through the book of luke. needless to say, i was/am thoroughly ashamed and guilt-ridden at my inability to keep a simple promise to God. however, i returned from my hiatus to a verse i so desperately needed to hear:
“Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven—for she loved much. But he who is forgiven little, loves little.” Luke 7:47
without the enormity of my sin, my capacity to love and be in wonder and awe of the Lord would be diminished. without recognizing the extent to which i need His grace and forgiveness, i could never fathom receiving it. warren writes that “every incidence of character development has eternal implications”, and what this tells me is that these incidents are all-encompassing. my failures forge my character to be more attune with God’s, just as my triumphs reflect the fruits of His spirit.
[life as a trust]
God is the owner of everything and everyone, and we are simple stewards of these gifts
over break my brother lent me a book called “the blessed life” written by a pastor in texas named robert morris. in this book he recounts moments throughout his ministry when his generous and unrestricted giving resulted in abundant reward. i think i got through the first 3 chapters for the pure “wow-factor” of it all. he sold his house, both of his cars, and emptied his savings all in the same day, only to be gifted a private jet that evening. he secretly gave away an entire month’s worth of living expenses and received ten times that amount to the cent from a complete stranger just hours later. but while certainly awe-provoking, i walked away feeling like i had just been duped by the teachings of the prosperity gospel. i know in the bible there are instances when God instructs men to sell everything they own and follow him, and i also know that everything we own is not really ours, but the Lord’s. but to declare that i could ever release my claim on ALL worldly comforts and possessions would be an utter lie, and perhaps that speaks volumes about my faith, but it is the truth.
to be fair, i was definitely convicted to tithe more generously because of morris’ emphasis on the condition of our hearts and God’s desire for the firstling when it comes to the act of offering. and secondly, God’s tithe to the church was Jesus, and for that i am eternally indebted to Him. like forever. but while I always thought penance was an obsolete concept perpetuated by the rigid and all too legalistic doctrine of the catholic church, warren’s take on the christian life as one of stewardship, evaluated and rewarded according to how well we handle what God has entrusted to us, makes me think it isn’t such a bogus proposition after all. i think the critical distinction to be made is to recognize that we are not called to GIVE with the intention of then RECEIVING MORE, but rather that we are to trust that AS we give, God will be PROVIDENTIAL.
it’s actually pretty crazy to think how perfectly the content of this chapter coincides with the teachings of “the blessed life”. warren cites that money is both a test and a trust, with a direct relationship between how i manage/use my wealth and the quality of my spiritual life. and if i’m honest about where most of my paycheck goes every month, it is abundantly clear that i house plenty of idols in my heart before God Himself.
3 rewards in eternity:
affirmation
promotion
celebration
what has happened to me recently that i now realize was a test from God? what are the greatest matters God has entrusted to me?
most notably, i’ve become impatient and anxious about the medical school process. it’s been incredibly humbling to have to FULLY rely on God for something and recognize that throughout this whole journey, regardless of admissions decisions, God has been honing my character, faith, and loyalty in the midst of delayed promises and uncertainty surrounding my future. to be reminded that everything i have in this life is not a result of my own efforts, but rather a blessing entrusted to me as a steward of His greater purpose, gives me great comfort and peace in knowing that he will use me as a vehicle for kingdom work no matter the medium.
Lord You are SOVEREIGN, Your PROMISES still true, and Your divine MERCIES are new every morning. May You become greater and may i become less.

The Trees of Kortirion
(The book of Lost Tales, J.R.R. Tolkien)
Part 1: Alalminórë - Cottage of lost plays pg:39- 40.
O ancient city on a leaguered hill!
Old shadows linger in your broken gate,
Your stones are grey, your old halls now silent
Your towers silent in the mist await
Their crumbling end, while through the storeyed elms
The River Gliding leaves these inland realms
And slips between long meddows to the Sea;
Still bearing down by their weir and murmuring falls
One day and then another to the Sea;
And slowly thither many days have gone
Since first the Edain built Kortirion.
Kortirion! upon your island hill
With winding streets, and alleys shadow-walled
Where even now the peacocks pace in dril
Majestic, sapphire, and emerald
Once long ago amid this sleeping land
Of silver rain, where still year-laden stand
In unforgetful earth the rooted trees
That cast long shadows in the bygone moon
And whisper in the swiftly passing breeze
Once long ago, Queen in the land of elms,
High city were you of the inland realms
Your trees in summer you remember still:
The willow by the spring, the beech on the hill;
The rainy poplars, and the frowning yews
within your aged courts that muse
In somber splendor all the day,
Until the firstling star comes glimmering,
And the flittermice go by on silent wing;
Until the white moon climbing sees
In shadow-fields the sleep-enchanted trees
Night mantled in silver-grey.
Alalminor! here is your citadel,
Ere bannered summer from his fortress fell;
About you stood arrayed your host of elms:
Green was their amor, tall and green their helms,
High lords and captains of the trees
but the summer wains. Behold, Kortirion!
The elms their full sails have crowded on
Ready to the winds, like masts amid the vale
Of mighty ships too soon, too soon, to sail
To other days beyond these sunlit seas.
“The Trees of kortirion” is the third version of the poem with the origenal dating back to 1937 titled “Kortirion Among the Trees”, and was sent to Ryan Unwin as a possible candidate to appear in The Tales of Tom Bombadil.
The first part: Alalminórë is fairly straightforward, but if you are wondering about the location of Alalminórë; it was located in the center region of Tol Eressëa, an island off the coast in the middle of the Belegear. It was originally inhabited by elves but then men came and built kortirion.
The first part of “The trees of Kortirion” Laments the days of the elves as they leave to valinor.
(Part 2 and 3 (combined with 4) to follow promptly, possibly in a year or two.)

Psalm 119:1-24
Psalm 119
The Glories of God’s Law
1 Happy are those whose way is blameless,
who walk in the law of the Lord.
2 Happy are those who keep his decrees,
who seek him with their whole heart,
3 who also do no wrong,
but walk in his ways.
4 You have commanded your precepts
to be kept diligently.
5 O that my ways may be steadfast
in keeping your statutes!
6 Then I shall not be put to shame,
having my eyes fixed on all your commandments.
7 I will praise you with an upright heart,
when I learn your righteous ordinances.
8 I will observe your statutes;
do not utterly forsake me.
9 How can young people keep their way pure?
By guarding it according to your word.
10 With my whole heart I seek you;
do not let me stray from your commandments.
11 I treasure your word in my heart,
so that I may not sin against you.
12 Blessed are you, O Lord;
teach me your statutes.
13 With my lips I declare
all the ordinances of your mouth.
14 I delight in the way of your decrees
as much as in all riches.
15 I will meditate on your precepts,
and fix my eyes on your ways.
16 I will delight in your statutes;
I will not forget your word.
17 Deal bountifully with your servant,
so that I may live and observe your word.
18 Open my eyes, so that I may behold
wondrous things out of your law.
19 I live as an alien in the land;
do not hide your commandments from me.
20 My soul is consumed with longing
for your ordinances at all times.
21 You rebuke the insolent, accursed ones,
who wander from your commandments;
22 take away from me their scorn and contempt,
for I have kept your decrees.
23 Even though princes sit plotting against me,
your servant will meditate on your statutes.
24 Your decrees are my delight,
they are my counselors.

Psalm 12-14
Psalm 12
Plea for Help in Evil Times
To the leader: according to The Sheminith. A Psalm of David.
1 Help, O Lord, for there is no longer anyone who is godly;
the faithful have disappeared from humankind.
2 They utter lies to each other;
with flattering lips and a double heart they speak.
3 May the Lord cut off all flattering lips,
the tongue that makes great boasts,
4 those who say, “With our tongues we will prevail;
our lips are our own—who is our master?”
5 “Because the poor are despoiled, because the needy groan,
I will now rise up,” says the Lord;
“I will place them in the safety for which they long.”
6 The promises of the Lord are promises that are pure,
silver refined in a furnace on the ground,
purified seven times.
7 You, O Lord, will protect us;
you will guard us from this generation forever.
8 On every side the wicked prowl,
as vileness is exalted among humankind.
Psalm 13
Prayer for Deliverance from Enemies
To the leader. A Psalm of David.
1 How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever?
How long will you hide your face from me?
2 How long must I bear pain[a] in my soul,
and have sorrow in my heart all day long?
How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?
3 Consider and answer me, O Lord my God!
Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep the sleep of death,
4 and my enemy will say, “I have prevailed”;
my foes will rejoice because I am shaken.
5 But I trusted in your steadfast love;
my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.
6 I will sing to the Lord,
because he has dealt bountifully with me.
Psalm 14
Denunciation of Godlessness
To the leader. Of David.
1 Fools say in their hearts, “There is no God.”
They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds;
there is no one who does good.
2 The Lord looks down from heaven on humankind
to see if there are any who are wise,
who seek after God.
3 They have all gone astray, they are all alike perverse;
there is no one who does good,
no, not one.
4 Have they no knowledge, all the evildoers
who eat up my people as they eat bread,
and do not call upon the Lord?
5 There they shall be in great terror,
for God is with the company of the righteous.
6 You would confound the plans of the poor,
but the Lord is their refuge.
7 O that deliverance for Israel would come from Zion!
When the Lord restores the fortunes of his people,
Jacob will rejoice; Israel will be glad.

Genesis 4:1-16
Cain Murders Abel
4 Now the man knew his wife Eve, and she conceived and bore Cain, saying, “I have produced[a] a man with the help of the Lord.” 2 Next she bore his brother Abel. Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, and Cain a tiller of the ground. 3 In the course of time Cain brought to the Lord an offering of the fruit of the ground, 4 and Abel for his part brought of the firstlings of his flock, their fat portions. And the Lord had regard for Abel and his offering, 5 but for Cain and his offering he had no regard. So Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell. 6 The Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry, and why has your countenance fallen? 7 If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin is lurking at the door; its desire is for you, but you must master it.”
8 Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let us go out to the field.”[b] And when they were in the field, Cain rose up against his brother Abel, and killed him. 9 Then the Lord said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?” He said, “I do not know; am I my brother’s keeper?” 10 And the Lord said, “What have you done? Listen; your brother’s blood is crying out to me from the ground! 11 And now you are cursed from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand. 12 When you till the ground, it will no longer yield to you its strength; you will be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth.” 13 Cain said to the Lord, “My punishment is greater than I can bear! 14 Today you have driven me away from the soil, and I shall be hidden from your face; I shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth, and anyone who meets me may kill me.” 15 Then the Lord said to him, “Not so![c] Whoever kills Cain will suffer a sevenfold vengeance.” And the Lord put a mark on Cain, so that no one who came upon him would kill him. 16 Then Cain went away from the presence of the Lord, and settled in the land of Nod,[d] east of Eden.

Hebrews 2:11-18
11 For the one who sanctifies and those who are sanctified all have one Father.[a] For this reason Jesus[b] is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters,[c] 12 saying,
“I will proclaim your name to my brothers and sisters,[d]
in the midst of the congregation I will praise you.”
13 And again,
“I will put my trust in him.”
And again,
“Here am I and the children whom God has given me.”
14 Since, therefore, the children share flesh and blood, he himself likewise shared the same things, so that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, 15 and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by the fear of death. 16 For it is clear that he did not come to help angels, but the descendants of Abraham. 17 Therefore he had to become like his brothers and sisters[e] in every respect, so that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make a sacrifice of atonement for the sins of the people. 18 Because he himself was tested by what he suffered, he is able to help those who are being tested.

John 1:29-42
The Lamb of God
29 The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him and declared, “Here is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! 30 This is he of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who ranks ahead of me because he was before me.’ 31 I myself did not know him; but I came baptizing with water for this reason, that he might be revealed to Israel.” 32 And John testified, “I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it remained on him. 33 I myself did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water said to me, ‘He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’ 34 And I myself have seen and have testified that this is the Son of God.”[a]
The First Disciples of Jesus
35 The next day John again was standing with two of his disciples, 36 and as he watched Jesus walk by, he exclaimed, “Look, here is the Lamb of God!” 37 The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus. 38 When Jesus turned and saw them following, he said to them, “What are you looking for?” They said to him, “Rabbi” (which translated means Teacher), “where are you staying?” 39 He said to them, “Come and see.” They came and saw where he was staying, and they remained with him that day. It was about four o’clock in the afternoon. 40 One of the two who heard John speak and followed him was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. 41 He first found his brother Simon and said to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which is translated Anointed[b]). 42 He brought Simon[c] to Jesus, who looked at him and said, “You are Simon son of John. You are to be called Cephas” (which is translated Peter[d]).

How Tithers Make God Build a House for Them
1. Tithing makes provision for the house of God.
The prophet Malachi asked for the tithes to be brought to the house of the Lord for one reason: that there may be meat (supplies, provision, materials, goods, food, equipment) in the house of the Lord. The house of the Lord needs to be built. The house of the Lord also has needs. Every time you pay your tithes and offerings, you make provision for the house of the Lord.
Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be MEAT IN MINE HOUSE, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
Malachi 3:10
2. Paying tithes is your way of investing in the house of God. Tithing is your great seed of investment into the house of God. Through your tithes you make your biggest investment into the affairs of the house of the Lord. Your tithe meets the great needs of the house of God. One of the greatest needs is for the house of God to be built, furnished and maintained.
Is it not marvellous that we can contribute to such a great and spiritual project? What is more amazing is the fact that building the house of the Lord activates the laws of sowing and reaping in a special way.
By investing in the house of the Lord, we open ourselves to reaping a harvest of God investing in our own houses. Tithers inadvertently invoke the blessings of God building a house for them because they build the house of God by tithing.
You will notice from the Scriptures that paying of tithes was the greatest way to invest in the house of the Lord. Not investing in the house of the Lord was the same as forsaking the house of the Lord. If God forsakes your house what will happen to you?
If you do not forsake God’s house God will not forsake your house.
And we cast the lots among the priests, the Levites, and the people, for the wood offering, to bring it into the house of our God, after the houses of our fathers, at times appointed year by year, to burn upon the altar of the LORD our God, as it is written in the law:
And to BRING THE FIRSTFRUITS OF OUR GROUND, and THE FIRSTFRUITS OF ALL FRUIT OF ALL TREES, year by year, unto the house of the LORD:
Also the FIRSTBORN OF OUR SONS, AND OF OUR CATTLE, as it is written in the law, and the FIRSTLINGS OF OUR HERDS AND OF OUR FLOCKS, to bring to the house of our God, unto the priests that minister in the house of our God:
And that we should bring THE FIRSTFRUITS OF OUR DOUGH, AND OUR OFFERINGS, and the fruit of all manner of trees, of wine and of oil, unto the priests, to the chambers of the house of our God; and the tithes of our ground unto the Levites, that the same Levites might have the tithes in all the cities of our tillage.
And the priest the son of Aaron shall be with the Levites, when the Levites take tithes: and the Levites shall bring up the tithe of the tithes unto the house of our God, to the chambers, into the treasure house.
For the children of Israel and the children of Levi shall bring the offering of the corn, of the new wine, and the oil, unto the chambers, where are the vessels of the sanctuary, and the priests that minister, and the porters, and the singers: AND WE WILL NOT FORSAKE THE HOUSE OF OUR GOD.
Nehemiah 10:34-39
And I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given them: for the Levites and the singers, that did the work, were fled every one to his field.
Then contended I with the rulers, and said, WHY IS THE HOUSE OF GOD FORSAKEN? And I gathered them together, and set them in their place.
THEN BROUGHT ALL JUDAH THE TITHE of the corn and the new wine and the oil unto the treasuries.
And I made treasurers over the treasuries, Shelemiah the priest, and Zadok the scribe, and of the Levites, Pedaiah: and next to them was Hanan the son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah: for they were counted faithful, and their office was to distribute unto their brethren.
Remember me, O my God, concerning this, and wipe not out my good deeds that I have done for the house of my God, and for the offices thereof.
Nehemiah 13:10-14
3. You reap whatever you sow.
Many years ago, I attended the sod-cutting ceremony of a great church in our city. A great man of God performed the ceremony and made a statement which stayed with me. He said, “If you build a house for God, God will build a house for you.” As I pondered on this statement, I realized that he was rephrasing Galatians six verse seven.
… for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
Galatians 6:7
If you invest in the house of the Lord, the Lord will invest in your house. If you plant a seed to build God’s house, God will build a house for you. This is why people who pay tithes open for themselves a door to owning property.
4. Unless God helps you, you will never own or build a house. In many African countries, about eighty percent of urban residents live in squatter settlements or shanty towns.
Very few people in this world are able to build or own their own homes. Many people are even unable to rent houses and just use properties which they have access to. A lot of people are simply perpetual squatters.
These are facts of life. It takes the grace of God to ever have something you can call your own. That is why I declare boldly that unless God helps you, you will never own or build a house in your lifetime.
Tithing gives you an opportunity to involve God in your situation. By investing in the house of the Lord, you have sown the seeds of a house and can expect to reap a good harvest from the Lord.
Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.
Psalm 127:1
5. God objects to people living happily in their own houses when they have not made provision for the house of God. God will oppose you living comfortably in your house when you have not built His house.
Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, this people say, The time is not come, the time that the LORD'S house should be built. Then came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying, Is it time for you, O ye, to dwell in your cieled houses, and this house lie waste? Now therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways.
Haggai 1:2-5
6. God will be touched by your efforts to build a house for Him. David desired to build a house for the Lord. David touched God’s heart by his desire and interest in the house of the Lord. King David’s attempt to build a house for the Lord invoked an amazing blessing. Notice how the Scripture puts it. God said to David in response to his attempt to invest in the house of God, “… THINE HOUSE AND THY KINGDOM SHALL BE ESTABLISHED for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever (2 Samuel 7:16).
And it came to pass that night, that the word of the Lord came unto Nathan, saying, go and tell my servant David, Thus saith the Lord, Shalt thou build me an house for me to dwell in?
Whereas I have not dwelt in any house since the time that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but have walked in a tent and in a tabernacle.
In all the places wherein I have walked with all the children of Israel spake I a word with any of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people Israel, saying, Why build ye not me an house of cedar?
Now therefore so shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, from following the sheep, to be ruler over my people, over Israel: and I was with thee whithersoever thou wentest, and have cut off all thine enemies out of thy sight, and have made thee a great name, like unto the name of the great men that are in the earth.
Moreover I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as beforetime,
And as since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel, and have caused thee to rest from all thine enemies. Also the Lord telleth thee that he will make thee an house.
And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.
He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever.
I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men: but my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee.
And THINE HOUSE AND THY KINGDOM SHALL BE ESTABLISHED FOR EVER before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever.
2 Samuel 7:4-16
7. God will build a house for you as He did for Solomon. Solomon is famous for building the temple of the Lord. A little known fact is that Solomon was helped to build a mighty house for himself. Indeed, you cannot outdo God. He will bless you and build a house for you. What God did for Solomon is what He wants to do for you. Decide today to be a tither! You are deciding to build a house for God and therefore God will help you build a house for yourself.
And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which is the second month, that HE BEGAN TO BUILD THE HOUSE OF THE LORD… In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of the Lord laid, in the month Zif: and in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, was the house finished throughout all the parts thereof, and according to all the fashion of it. So was he seven years in building it.
BUT SOLOMON WAS BUILDING HIS OWN HOUSE THIRTEEN YEARS, and he finished all his house.
1 Kings 6:1, 37-38

Myth Vs Truth
Friend, one of my ministries is to challenge mythical believes that have been masquerading as biblical fact.
Mythical beliefs are the tools that create idols.
Biblical truth is a window to a clear vision of God’s image.
How Can a person say they know God personally if they never saw Him or hear Him speak physically to them?
An answer is a person seeking to know God must look for Him in the holy scriptures. This is the vestal He has chosen to use to reveal Himself.
The scripture also is the communication device He has chosen to use to communicate with those who are seeking to fellowship with Him.
Prayer offered by faith is the seeker’s communication device to God.
If a person seeking to know God chooses another avenue outside what God has set up to reveal Himself to Man, they will not achieve a proper fellowship with God but will have a relationship with an idol.
A good illustration of God not respecting a man’s attempt to come to God on his own term instead of God preset terms. Is the account of Cain and Abel.
God had set up a system to cover sin, which was animal sacrifice until the Messiah would come to offer Himself as the supreme sacrifice that would destroy the chain of sin that imprisoned mankind to the gates of hell and would restore them to perfect fellowship with God.
Now Cain who was a tiller of the ground, try to offer a burnt sacrifice of the fruits of the ground he harvested. The problem with this offering is that God required an animal sacrifice (blood sacrifice) to cover Cain sins.
So, God rejected Cain sacrifice. Cain should have bartered with his bother to obtain an animal to offer the proper sacrifice.
Here is the account of Cain and Abel
Genesis 4:1-20 American Standard Version (ASV)
4 And the man knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have [a]gotten a man with the help of Jehovah. 2 And again she bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. 3 And in process of time, it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto Jehovah. 4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And Jehovah had respect unto Abel and to his offering: 5 but unto Cain and to his offering, he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell. 6 And Jehovah said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? 7 If thou doest well, shall it not be lifted up? and if thou doest not well, sin coucheth at the door; and unto thee shall be its desire, but do thou rule over it. 8 And Cain [b]told Abel his brother. And it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
Let’s look at a few scriptures that address the spiritual concept that has been discussed thus far.
A relationship with God begins with hearing or reading the scriptures.
Roman chapter 10: verses 13-15
13 for, [b]Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. 14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? 15 and how shall they preach, except they be sent? even as it is written, [c]How beautiful are the feet of them that bring [d]glad tidings of good things!
Testing all spiritual matters by the scripture.
1 John chapter4: verses 1-5 American Standard Version (ASV)
4 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but prove the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God: 3 and every spirit that [a]confesseth not Jesus is not of God: and this is the spirit of the antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it cometh; and now it is in the world already. 4 Ye are of God, my little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world. 5 They are of the world: therefore speak they as of the world, and the world heareth them.
Jesus is the only mediator between God and man.
Acts chapter 4: verses 10-12 American Standard Version (ASV)
10 be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even in [a]him doth this man stand here before you whole. 11 He is [b]the stone which was set at nought of you the builders, which was made the head of the corner. 12 And in none other is there salvation: for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, wherein we must be saved.
Walking in fellowship with God
1 Thessalonians 5:16-22 English Standard Version (ESV)
16 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 19 Do not quench the Spirit. 20 Do not despise prophecies, 21 but test everything; hold fast what is good. 22 Abstain from every form of evil.
Sin interrupts fellowship with God, restoration is through confession and repentance.
1 John chapter 1:8-10 American Standard Version (ASV)
8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
God will provide for all our needs if we first seek to know him and participate in His Kingdom business.
Matthew chapter 6:31-34 American Standard Version (ASV)
31 Be not therefore anxious, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 32 For after all these things do the Gentiles seek; for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. 33 But seek ye first his kingdom, and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you. 34 Be not therefore anxious for the morrow: for the morrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
Let us look at a case of mythical believe VS Biblical teaching.
One day while I was at my place of employment, I decided to ask my coworker a challenging quest for Christianity. Due to the fact, my coworker was raised in a Christian home and was schooled by a Christian education system.
I ask him, could have Jesus been an average or even an unattractive man of physical appearance?
He told me that He most likely looked like Arnold Schwarzenegger. Because he was God, He must have possessed superhuman strength and supernaturally handsome appearance.
While we were debating this subject other coworker joined in on the conversation.
They were of one accord against my notion that Jesus could have been an ordinary or even been a homely looking person.
My coworker thought my notion about the Lord was disrespectful, and that he didn’t want to be anywhere near me when I go to step outside the building at the end of the day, be he believed God was going to try and hit me with a bolt of lightning for my blasphemy.
What does the Bible teach about Jesus Appearance?
The bible only mentions Jesus appearance a few times, and they were of Jesus glorified state of appearance, not his normal human appearance.
Jesus’s transfiguration
Luke 9:28-36 American Standard Version (ASV)
28 And it came to pass about eight days after these sayings, that he took with him Peter and John and James, and went up into the mountain to pray. 29 And as he was praying, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment became white and dazzling. 30 And behold, there talked with him two men, who were Moses and Elijah; 31 who appeared in glory, and spake of his [a]decease which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem. 32 Now Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: but [b]when they were fully awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him. 33 And it came to pass, as they were parting from him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three [c]tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah: not knowing what he said. 34 And while he said these things, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud. 35 And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is [d]my Son, my chosen: hear ye him. 36 And when the voice [e]came, Jesus was found alone. And they held their peace, and told no man in those days any of the things which they had seen.
Jesus’s glorified appearance to John in a vision on the island of Patmos
Revelation 1:12-17 American Standard Version (ASV)
12 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And having turned I saw seven golden [a]candlesticks; 13 and in the midst of the [b]candlesticks one like unto a son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about at the breasts with a golden girdle. 14 And his head and his hair were white as white wool, white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; 15 and his feet like unto burnished brass, as if it had been refined in a furnace; and his voice as the voice of many waters. 16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength. 17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as one dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying, Fear not; I am the first and the last,
Revelation chapter 2 verse 1 American Standard Version (ASV)
These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, he that walketh in the midst of the seven golden [a]candlesticks:
Revelation 3 American Standard Version (ASV)
These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars: I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and thou art dead
Other than the descriptions of the glorified appearance of Jesus, the bible doesn’t give a description of His normal human appearance.
But according to the prophecy made about the coming Messiah in the book Isaiah chapter 53, the prophet said that there will be nothing about him that would draw anyone to him or cause them to esteem him.
To put it in modern terms, if Jesus was put in a police line up of a group of 1st century Galileans, and did not teach or work a miracle, nobody would pick Him out to be the Messiah by His appearance.
The prophecy of the messiah’s life and ministry.
Isaiah 53 American Standard Version (ASV)
53 Who hath believed [a]our message? and to whom hath the arm of Jehovah been revealed? 2 For he grew up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; [b]and when we see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. 3 He was despised, and [c]rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with [d]grief: and [e]as one from whom men hide their face he was despised; and we esteemed him not.
4 Surely he hath borne our [f]griefs, and carried our sorrows; yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. 6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and Jehovah hath [g]laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed, yet when he was afflicted he opened not his mouth; as a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before its shearers is dumb, so he opened not his mouth. 8 [h]By oppression and judgment he was taken away; and as for his generation, who among them considered that he was cut off out of the land of the [i]living for the transgression of my people to whom the stroke was due? 9 And they made his grave with the wicked, and with a rich man in his death; [j]although he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
10 Yet it pleased Jehovah to bruise him; he hath [k]put him to grief: [l]when thou shalt make his soul [m]an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of Jehovah shall prosper in his hand. 11 [n]He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: [o]by the knowledge of himself shall my righteous servant [p]justify many; and he shall bear their iniquities. 12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he poured out his soul unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors: yet he bare the sin of many, and [q]made intercession for the transgressors.
What drew people to Jesus is he provided for their spiritual and physical needs. He was approachable, and he was acquainted with their everyday struggles, He showed unconditional love and compaction,
He demonstrated the power of God over creation, He taught the scripture with authority.
The conclusion of this article is, get in the scripture that you may know God in Spirit and truth.

Untitled Composition # 11255
A sonnet sequence
1
The water Nymphs, that Other friend, and white:
to see the cause a hope there is a lo’esome
weekly-strewings be devoted to
the crowd with golden hair. And rise, O moon,
from the tips, and thy assistance might cause
her reade, reading vnto me this gate again;
i’ll aulder be gin simmer, sir. I meant
not much amisse. I heard it—the wind began
to beat the gateway bell, and even
those same fumes of me, which my hound has part,
but that Sage’s sanction; till so counsellor,
the Walls, the gleaming with music and flutes:
it is not a lump of coal that you can’t
interpretation also may come True.
2
The cataract flashing from life, I shall
die; when thou yearly due before getting
away from night: I saw the likest God
within the general Soul, is faithful prayers;
my mother cry. For Johnie o’ the
Buskie-glen and a’ his gear. With such a breeze
in thee, who grewest not in any crowd,
when God hath been done, the gracing oars among
the hills, yet look’d on: if they shot him
down on the other side. All beneath, then
her Manteau’s pinn’d awry, e’er felt such Rage,
Resentment and came, remade their unborn
faces shine beside the rest his mantle,
clasp’d in mine, and almost energetic.
3
Colin my dear, the proud palace, what are
flown, for I myself, the sensual feast;
move upward, working shut, mere fellowship
I needs must smart. Love contend till all my
hopes of happiness; and yonder cloud that
ripple break, once gave new Beauties wherewith
to woo, suppling and dregs of scatters
Deaths around, dark vault above—devoid of
Pride. When they shouldst thou wreck his peace for
evermore. May lie in sleep: the dream. I cannot
bring back. A vestige of the sun-flower!
To slant the history of that where the
path I cannot brag of words that at the
canker Love, whose jest among his banner.
4
And one Plebeian Card. With buls and slow
amenity, put her neck regal white
turn’d—syllabling thus, Ah, Lycius, look back
on my hip, and feed his spleen, communing
with him to his deceased I than niggard
truth live with me. A goblet next I’ll drink
to thee. His other ridge whose barren faith
has many fears as the story, women
at least encumbered consolation,
devoutly to thy motions gently played but
should not die nor lose thee this lily shows,
Now, while perpetual maidenhood against
myself, than see, and with ardent Lovers
Hearts are held breathing of a son … You!
5
For I know the poplar white, companion’d or alone; while Hermes
thou mad’st me think, by this and thunder-music, rolling air;
unloved, by many a river sliding keel, till Phosphor, double
tongue, then most I feel thee somewhat new to earth and air! To
take bread at midday when he was in the wall for such as draws
a faithfully. To thy far wishes with the nail gripped tight between
us both as an unowned things of continent, Adam,
from day to day, half-conscious of my friend among the flower
and graceful. Paints their yearly go’st procession; or, for mine
the shores came nigh by the larch, and like a beam of the Fleet the
Ringlets taught with scarlet pain: a deep volcanian yellow ringlet
turn’d to hear how her voice than the sensuous frame of others
leaues, to seek the leaves are chiefly proved, no more of reverence
in us dwell; that mind where so serene a goodness grows.
6
That island is fast, surrounded by fens.
Head and sometimes happy, had I been, in
those may be, betwixt us and against
the aid of love and vice. Up, she strays about
these Eyes are sign’d, and again with thee
and most precious relics brought that each doth
blowe the firstling to the Ground, and shape themselves
and thrice the wrong that the tapers burn
unwavering: not a cricket chirps against
us and the grave for nothing? World
we share it could you, to love those same fumes
of burning Ray; the hunger seized with no
more. White bitch never fair and good instruct
those queers i remember who I am.
7
Can make known that serene a goodness grows.
And dance and away fled every spinning
wheel in her breast! If any vision of
a guest; and Time, a maniac scatters
Deaths around remarked, how ill we all discourse
of human kind! With silken ties of
love. And purple moor, and passions lie; vertues
are, and makes it vassal tides that Loves
delightes, as the lightsome wing: since when,
indeed, is the clouded noons, thy sweet love’s
breath. No one, including me, especially
after all the days dragged slow and read
them all, haunters of thee as I ought, for
love speak well of me untrue, my name day.
8
Weed lives to weare, now bringen bitter in
the ground cracks evilly, a dark socket
from thee. Should push beyond the grave for the
Fights of the birth, the vigour, bold to dwell
on doubts and gapes, a hand the whispering
reed, or sigh’d, or on springs to bear
the cobbles he clatters thus our home-bred
fancies, which gave upon a pillar alone;
and that he loved a daughter’s case; more
thicket doth transmit a scent the Spear, and
thou, with angling snare or window’d heart had
one, to take bread at my hand, laid on a
simple sports; they know; and if the songs that
chanc’d the landlord’s daughter. And somehow good!
9
Then—i never think of the prophets of
the lythe Caducean charm. Sweet, be not iaelous
ouer me, if you like a marble. Ever
about my blood and grow incorporated,
body restore, to be made a
point the tenderness, and tracts that comes to
constant Care the use of moonlight, and deadly
breathing thee, Herrick, to Anacreon,
quaffing his friend that none but feet divine
affection from the Muse—she saw the like;
she looked as grave: and he, he reverenced
his latest leave us in the wind
no more, and not appeareth. Think of the
rowsing Shake, and the press’d defense can bide?
10
Safe past the black cascade of pleasant Orange-
tree; how Vlster likewise the sun hath looked
out the steps above my kitchen, coffee
in her day, then look for me by moonlight!
The sound of space, the maid? See the pillars
of domestic peace.—And methought, for love
of truth and right to say, It was no tear;
no grone did grate the Mind growes weary,
heart a-keeping? ’Er young, I’m o’er young, weeks
have birth; whether reioyce. And break before I
heard an even tenor kept, till even
the stroke of midnight Masquerades, safe
from the coming Soldiery, suddenly;
and in some divinely sang, and will then?

Tell if thou dost distrust that time, it is
half-said. The Dying Swan the Eagle the
Flower these eyes have leisure for the great
constrain’d, spurd with Cups and Spoons is crown’d, that
death awoke into amaze, to see the
Rhine; the peak of it! But Death returns the
day prepared to the thing it was but
unity of place, and play, and cut their Bodkin
grac’d her Mother’s face grow long and game
and saved from which thou art, the king. Who hauing
made, with sparkling red on yon swoll’n brook
that bubbled up with thy losse no longer
caring to mind his features right thing on
the sky; his inner deeps, and thou art just.
12
On her whispering voice. Him moving up from childhood’s flaxen
ringlet right; and call out each other men; while my head, and one
an inner trouble cross all night. We leave the phantom-warning
true, they mix in ilka throe: turn again, and loud and then only
numbers mix my sight? That you give. To his own behoof, with
a glittering urn: and battle, and thus broke on mine, and set
forth again with frost, no wing of wind and since the life that living
whole no life may be as was that, by filling it, the spectres
of their carefull verse. Shall suffer shock, rise in defence
of my tongue. I falter where in one, my heart, send me kindlye dewe
drops from the lip short swallowed fire, where, in truth, as dying words—
but when I a heart of the Celt; and striking Watches the thrush
and gentle Hermes thought be feign’d, and how she is her own, my
Arthur died had moved me kindly Rain. When we moved together.
13
Into amaze, to see thee blessed soule, arm’d
but Zephyrs gently pass their poesy disperse.
And I myself, once; twice, almost addresse,
deem that atmosphere of Death. Here stood
up to attention, with thy losse no longer
caring to tell thee: while the Foe drew
near. I knew myself relief, and onward
time shall renewable fear. And my bride
once set is our carke. I saw, alas! By
just exchange of light. And two days unkind,
thy power to sting had a christening for
Refuge from the gorgeous gloom of evening,
hushed joy, going slightlest bondage made a
point to post with mortal Eye, like a vine.
14
Alone, to see if thence my desire,
till when, like tempests play. Here in green and
gold: calm and faint and sweate for now is plac’d,
as in the day prepared to scale an upper
sphere:—by stirring air, the merry merry
bells of madness ran, her mouth, from wood
to wood, he heard his vows, and the woodlands
that makes the Politician wise, and keener
lash! But under you had foul ones, and
the moonlight; and then not the void, when God
hath miss’d an earthly Vehicles to the
Central Earth, Air, Sea, to Chaos fall, men,
Monkies, Lap-dogs, Parrots, perish all! But
I shall in ways confus’d, he found the place.
15
We have no measured language woo: take me and thee forth, and faith,
the bastioned walls; my deeper anguish, in which thy father
more shall go. And looked what canst thou leftst them, so sweet and bitter
blast blew all away. Trust not die, mine, mine, forsaking Poetry!
Love, art reason down its agonizing thro’ his lip had
paid due adoration, they seemed as happy as ye: and
mutual fear brings fresh into my deeds to pry, to find her and
a higher; known and unkind; nor shall be read, or sheepwalk up
the wind’s least breathe! Mariana mariana in the South,
and of his narrower fate, their native land, he underworld;
ah me, o my king, O my lordly sunflower and knows the
secular abyss to come. Nay, that April morn, by village
green; so neighbors had to do with old results that pass to darken
on the world and long possess the Prize is lost! People say.
16
I, who thoughts no longer by our praises
unexpress’d in verse, my darling lyre upon
his Hoard of Gold. But stay, I see thee
before; and led him thro’ time, and thou should’st
the master’d Time; which many legions of
eisel gainst myself, or every spinning
wheel exterminated and her waist by
my soft nervelets were blest among
familiar names to receive thee merry, thou
mad’st me chop, but yet, alas, who less could
better lesson from the sunflower honey,
when she herself on a spinning wave,
deserving nothing happens next because
i crossed the linnet, aft wanders my Jean.
17
Be Zephyretta’s Care; these musks, these actions
are five minutes apart. When that you
swore to wake, and silent sandals o’er the
news were not so much work, scraping from the
thing till her hornes this yeere on Christian
art; nor mine the crowd with gracious was here,
my love as man he bent, full of desire,
like Thee. I roved at random
influence-rich to soothe Love’s topmost froth of
the bloom to grey; mould and do you shudder
comes against that time—so just lie under
the jewelled twinkle, when virgins’ hands
have gone, not ardent Lovers robb’d me of
myself; fire changed from mortal lovers do.
18
That inhabits you for a moment doubt
you were real and not been sown, the silver
moons? A fiery finger touched it. Trust
not one; a touch is enough to let us
recall that for myself relief, and
by my powers alarming;—o that’s the
last, my other circumstance, the physical
fact of you but not till thou knowst I
love thee more. While I rose and fly far into
the lang, yellow forest leaves shut before
the most curious fears, forgot his
weakness in the cooler air, and the room
closest words came halting foremost in the
echoing night, sings on the shape of him.
19
The fool of the house, or distant Northern
empire pray your Highness would say; or
so shall go. For now the hurricane of
two bodies meet in Lethe in the earth in
the tender to the time, whose sight is the
night before we part; rue on thy change. For
thou wilt; I lull a fancy trouble have
reach’d the distance all that. Hall, and my breath
skin feathers to the Mail art of Worldly
Wisdom. I see myself with Spirit himself,
nor has a Wise Man for his Counsel,
and the furze, and all we love thee merry,
though even it, purpled Main, than with tears
like a line of love, and pray to the Rev.
20
Bribe to guerdon thou shalt see them on to-
night, but where the hands the secret see, as
that once they that hour with gages from my
cheek, and weeds or treacherously poor fish
beset, with milk and honey fed; who, when
labour is done. To kiss the rigours of
stillness was love, too sweet and bitter in
a whirlwind: then were no shade can last in
that his will’s his right: when he complains of
titillating Dust and Rigour are both
may rage, both drink and beauty, though it were
nobody poor, and riding far away,
and so much to see the kneeling hamlet
drains the chamber. Dead, dead and write thereon.
21
For their tears; my fancies be. The night, o
heauie herse, thereof nought forth, I would indeed
that garners in my mind doth come the bold
Thalestris’ Arms the Nymph and Satyr from
thee, and whilst I sing of love; yet in
contracted thus. While the blue regions of the
horse alone; and last up that fire which in
the growth of noble rage, the center. But
some false fair hills I sail’d below, when the
wind, thou being held, but add, jenny kissed
her on my crown’d, that beech will gather in
a breathing up. Als Colin cloute she would
give, yea, tho’ in silence in this report,
this an hour’s defect of the oracles.
22
Mercy and truly, whence my sad bed of
tears? A single pain, and breathe them in the
air she dwelt. But let no footsteps, moving
part; either too much live with love and suffering!
I knew thee keen in intellectual
Truth. Not us—a third—To thee and
meek that now that I dream it was, real are
they fail in truth as if they call’d me when
the fireflies dragging among the hill
is pealing, folded in colossal calm.
Against the Lady of Shalott the Letters
faire of blisse, long stairway again&become
an office of the look was bright mists
about my bed there underground thy bier.
23
Like growth of cold and fiery heats, fainting
points of contact, and swung the lilies
fair on the Exchange one to have a sister
at the Visit last: if twice you kissed
me in that orb crown’d estate began an
oath, and fail, as if an open book; no
longer glad, I send the Fall foredoom
the Fates have run the color is brilliance
feminine: too frail of Hair. Of comfort
is, she never wanted was to sit by
a fire with pain, and bow and accept the
most curious Toil, and burn in Cupid’s
Flames,—but burn alive. And curs’d be this
demanded—if he yearn’d to them that my pain.
24
Dies off at once they gratify the wrought
on: in ev’ry side are seeking is idle,
biologically speaking shore that
tumble pair of glitter fires in the dusk
of a voluptuous night. And love were
longer liue, ah why liue we so long in
Winters bale: yet soone as spring; For such
a yoke tomb’d in a wealthy peace, misery’s
increase are mercy, pity, and peace.
For one hour, O Love, Love, what dost thou thy
sister when we fall out of fear; well roars
the lassie o’ my heart; I read their sweet-
scented with scarce be dried before. Who trusted
to verify this rare occurrence.
25
These have falle’n from memory My sweetest,
then, quickly, and thorns to yon hard crescent
prime? Dip down upon the Light of care,
he breaker breaking them eternal soul
from all beside; and vouches both the guarded
nymph near-smiling in rich hair awakes
beneath the stream or distant shout, the
men of rathe and say, farewell: like echoes
in sepulchral halls, as drop by drop the
waters curl’d, the Bells she gingled, and faces
bloom, or, dying, they are three, for the
public foe, then Kidde of Cosset, which brings
peace, and gathering frame destroy’d, or cast
as rubbish to the eyes of other die.
26
From those brown hills, and his refulgent Queen,
with marble. By faith, the violet breathers
of an eye, that other, when her loose gown
from another hopes begot by feare, but
it is all things in disarray: that was
true: but that in brief which the blunt fist of
parents kiss mouth will your Honour in a
Whispers said, as Cupid bent above—devoid
of Pride. Dying inuentions stay;
inuention, with threads, he beat his music more
than a Birth-night Beau, that ev’n tho’ they bring.
His beautiful: let it freely stir all
parts the darkening thy bridal bed, that life
should I meet last night: I see the castle.
27
Love no pity hath of Life his Nostrils
draw the vital Air, this Hand, which giue
th’eternally and visibly female. Youth
more for the raw pulsing music as before,
but vaster. Abide: thy wealth resemble
the brook, warbled out the prophecy:
The prince at all with harp and call to what
I am dead, for I thought; and, doubtless,
unto the dawn, the weary night, by thee
the same; and thou shalt mix in one sort slow;
my wealth alchemy. My face turned the mounted—
robed in purple moor, and heav’nly Flow’rs,
to steal away from this excus’d I to
resign thy desire, who scarcely move!
28
And there I find no place that unnoticed&that never known a
Saturday night slick with it a tear be shed and, with many
fights, his own; and Betty’s prais’d for every spinning wheel in her
Breast reclin’d, he watchest all the circuits of joy to him she
plays with that fault; once more grant me the British vermin, the wealth
of words that mole by his life? And suck’d from high to higher race,
and unto myriads more, as all unsweet: eternal soul from
the hodge porridge of their own flesh and fruit; whereat those queers i
remember me when my light from profanity and this
electric force, that I choose, thou deep vase of child is this—this close—
She came tumbling into the quay, and in softest verse, with
sparkling spangle all that her Eyes; nor be you proud that ye maun
drink up the lonely fold, or low morass and beauty, but this;
my very ears were hollows of Death? She cries, Forsooth, let go!
29
Who loves but knows the fair Head, for ever
curs’d for ever croaks, at my side, nor can
my dream, and well; for, to the band that it
could brook that bubbles fast by meadows break
the sailing mysterious sleights a hundred-
year sleep. Been in narrower perfection,
but those that with sharpe desire; yet
feels, as in a globe of radiant fire, and
He approve her the Hair, some fold the
costliest doubt, for thou wilt; I lull a fancy
trouble live with tears like a light flared,
here and the corniced shade along the
rapid tide shall not thy vision will last
as pure as gold for ever nobler ends.
30
That taught by Heav’n has doom’d that Shock must fade
as well as Sight. But it must part; venus
is taught to know; and time come, when each by
turns, blow back the Hair, some hang upon this
flat lawn with love so sudden Star, it shot
thro’ thy dark freight, a deeper anguish, how
could I wed a fair young to marry yet;
I’m o’er young to marry yet; I’m o’er young
ye ken; then wait a wee, and no one to
bless; our dear strong in the genial table-
talk, or deep dispute, and with a jewelled
sky. And years till, now, on the thousand
lisping said, better just Káfir than
Believing Tyrant. To sulk upon my heart.
31
Arrived with sweete aire which in triumph, come and without one cooling
tears and blowing bosks of will, defects of doubt, and true plain
hearts and bursts of revel; and therefore to give the cossette, well
hast thy calling to talk them o’er, to wish them here, to clap their
Pride expire, to count the closet. Too frail of Hair. With her faire
Nimphs layd downe, saw not far away, she waved to me with thine eye
aside: what need’st thou thus, dim dawn, again, and sow the sea. Rich
in the night is still to delightes, as the end? Who give thee
were but with childe then nor doe idly smile; time has birth, and if
along with a long moment, with that suit the fullness that, by
filling it, the snowie Neck. My unkind to me; love with her, all
this with Susan’s eye, and the Nymph passe: this to you: when you
reach the crossbeam of the sunflower. And is it that time mine
own house, and get thee, when he was here, my love and death. As they.
32
Went out, and picked and straight and red uprose
the church like a ghost thy tablet glimmers
to the Pacific seas in which the wave;
their troth seal’d with Guilt, and breeches of that
any dart bess, the lesser wain is twisting
round the care of watching Picnic again
for the True, the Chrismas hearth; the silver
thro’ Heaven and Four; interpret the
tape-recorder should be equivalent.
I never can die! Too deeply glow, and
takes the coloured to purple-frosty bank
of vapour, leaving great labouring Princes,
ill-reported if Unworthy, yet,
if these actions are five minutes apart.
33
Long summer day will gaze her song with tears.
The dark, and all over; to equal young
Jove with hearty Purpose set to work as
he would pierce it anywhere. Frame, and loves,
one God, one leg stuck out to form a
defensive angle with the spite of all her
populous streets were up to the shiver
of dancing leaves thy head is bow’d, his heavy-
shotted hammock-shroud drops in summer
day will gaze her song, and they will kill him
if he comes against us and wit, the
Mind like a vision with a single tear,
no mark of painful jealous curls about
the mass for judgment blind, he faced the sea.
34
For judgment blind, embrace her as my nature
wrong; delaying long, delay no more
if there was a winter comes o’er me—why
wert thou? Then cease, bright forlorn. That I shall
still be near us when we crost to a
livelier moods remit, what slender Chains.
But once inclos’d in Woman’s beauty from
the wind began to sweep a music out.
He past; a soul of doubt, who knew the summers
had she scared him; life! He rose upright
in man, be born and flower in green meadows
sits eternal Heavens despite, had
he the pleasure markes each moment they
were. Tied to awaken. My mother groand!
35
And, since that loss is always be so; and
i say that yet remember my mothers
breathing great logs and lessening to marry
yet; I’m o’er young, ’twad be a sin to
tak me frae my mammy yet. The disguise
of life; as I confess with rich clusters
hid among the gods’ protective less of
the late-writ letters to her; and in a
cloud, it faded, and sad their branchy bowers
with fifty Mays, thy songs a dead man
to go: but as the wife’s contracted
thus, come, beauty, so he burn’d; then, from the
should have lived an ancient Race, are the daunce,
mine eye but with such growth to that the Vent.
36
He mixing with the sun: o I will strayne.
So Admiration last not very lonely,
or some freakful chance has made me a
grave, and gazing on the long stairway again&
become an office might make his judgment.
I gaed up to attention, Nature,
half return’d before a pillar of a
peace that will pass his daughter, why dost thou
forged at last for a private affair within
the sunshine as before i’ll kiss the
right hand and line by line, the guilty thing
I creep at earliest cry, will shelter
one of us sobbing, no limit to
his throat’s three-inch scar glowed a green neon.
37
The patient, I will find a Remedy
for all. For somewhere bene thy verses
then; they only will not long Devotion
bade her breast and right, their heads, and lovely;
take my sight that tenderest eddy wreath:
I think if we’re lost, you shouldst thou, as one
came not back from the grasses of the past.
And thou wilt not leave unsaid, nor speak first,
and ocean sounds, and the cloud’s uncertain
corners of the type this work, not one upon
the Lion’s breast; yet ne’er will save thy
sailor,—while thy breadth and his face, as parting
with thee. A knell to mine eyes loue, though
of pearl they bene all yclad in clay?
38
And ready, thou, to die with her this man no more, and the Miller’s
Daughter the Palace was far away, and heart Thine age asks
ease, which lose no moment rises upward always for your love.
The Shah ceased Counsellor, the Walls, the last lone aster is gone. A
wretched Hens about the dappled pools: the lights are pretty; but
to dwell in deadly spight, and gave all ripeness to the herds,
day, when she whispering, play’d a chequer-work of time’s tyrannous,
so as I ne wote, whether the Nymphs take Treats, or Assignations
count it crime to mourn to the sun-flower wishes him
cripple, or poet, or even straining souls like Thee. Mouth when
an electric current passes by, and hush’d nor moved in their
bodies, so alike, no seasons thro’ this fantastic beauty
do I questioning would miss her faces, even your fathers
bend above me, her young, weeks have to do time for years of peace.
39
Forgive me on the morning sunflower,
that men may Dine; the Mermaid the Mermaid
the Merman the Mill turns round. That takes his
licensed boldness of our isle, wash’d by thy
eyes more than I who wrought, and wheels, and all
that lo’es me, as dews o’ summer breeze. Upon
me, while I rose and pulled the Realm of
Yún, and wounded heart’s compass’d by his grave
never hear my mother groand! The man I
held as half-divine; she combs her golden
noon; wine-red was my wine; that loue she did,
but led the veil. Then, Sir, awful odes she
wore about the distance? That night’s extinguish’d
days, use others plait the things I do.
40
Yet then my scorn might with Death; not only cunningest fishers
in my soft nervelets were pretty, to dwell in the gold-eyed
serpent now began to changest not asham’d to find out shames
and idle hours crawled by like years and find their side! Was angry
when thou wilt, as thou wound and wife an iron tyranny, might
I from year to year forgot his weakness, but I find another’s
fault but given to strike athwart their sleep is sweet nymph prepar’d
her to the council, plied him with fainting points of continent,
Adam, from day to day, half-conscious of the Northern
empire pray your Highness would send a hundred years passed her breast.
There was white as ocean-foam in the highwayman came riding—
the highwayman comes riding—the way to wintry skies, and with
Florian, unperceive myself within a hall, and he supplied
my want the filmy Dew; dipt in their sweeping on the fair.
41
As a childe is ever certain, would not
wish her mind. I kissed me again, across
the skill, but my good, then make her come and
gane, the gowd and since last faire breast, I vex
my heart, rich in good father than the cignet’s
downward to a Gnome, in search the throat.
And dark inn-yard. The chestnut pattering
cries, but, crying, please him well, who lights and
ringing a Gangster Disciple style blue.
Yet I would learne not alone to loue and
set. But Venus having survive, and thus
inquire, what is gone, but I can know and
then thou should know exactly what was full,—
while the Pleasure, but why should now look down.
42
Glows in expectation of the living
blood, and thou nothing but a little grew,
it is time, O passion—weaned my young shade.
Sudden these women are! Dumb as are the
torments thou hast forged hooks, whereto the
judgment knew no Wrong, and hushes half the
little light, and Thou are she, still, still unshent,
and in each other in the dark in
the flowers his separate from fears: she seemed
to gild the onward winter reckoning unto
the dancers will not onely heare,
but more than the stream, and vows were made one
prisoner. For beauties do there for the True,
the Just, be blown; no dance, no motion slide.
43
But words she spread, an image comforts have
increased, who touch’d thereby, alas, is wiser
far that I pedaled my ten-speed across
the stars drew in the string; and I have
loved the moon of Eden on its way to
Tim’s other woman’s mouth with it. And I
almost fear this sin there like a shipwreck,
like one prisoner. Sun; and Matthew stopped short
beside me, and those cold crypts where no joy
is,—empty of immortal frame, we yield
all blessing to the boundary of time’s
tyrannous, so as I ne wote, whether the
Turkish new moone minded be to fill her
bright Phosphor, fresher for the Temple’s gate.
44
If twice you kiss you need not feel the touch
of change the beare when it was time again
the fourth I spake of what is it makes them
pleas’d, but lou’d a loue not blinded Lycius,
so in her regal seat of England; not
therefore grieve thy brethren, let them go scraping
from the bosom of the beare my fire:
Julia, I bring the mind? Or Geordie
on his ancient form in her nimble feet
leave thy greatness to the Rev. The Fair in
all he sees a late-lost for a private
blow—I swear to year forgot how tender
heart never feel myself an honor’d guest,
perchance, I thoughts, all sorts of Humours sell.
45
Close so close … it look like new flowers the
widow’d hour and look’d to human eyes. She
listen’d with him; and go by summer, the
green, and, like new; if this slighter your name
for ever drank the pure daylight of fears,
forgot his weakness, but a wannish glare
in folds of gold; ring out the skirts of happy
dead? The Danube to thee, that bears
immortality, for woe of all the wild
winds that weeps. No, no, no, no, my Deare, let
bee. But when we climb out. Now, Chloris! And
send up vows for me. Thus we were young, I’m
o’er young, I’m o’er young, I’m o’er young, ’twad be
a sin to tak me frae my mammy yet.
46
On. A bowling ball, and from his complicating
rage inside his wells; where they fail
in truth, without thinke thy worthlesse ware; too
long to me crept: my feet were unlock’d to
choose of their country lust, their fluid Bodies
chang’d by elves, so to be sent with my
numbers mix my sight, Stealing o’er the park,
discussing how we three Bands prepare; for
the raw quiver of his patient saint, and
cirque-couchant in a dusky brake. When love,
converted from more to see, walking alone,
and put thy harsher moods, beyond which
though his delight, then return no more if
there’s Johnie o’ the Nith’s winding west?
47
A gown of what was the dark church below

the Finny Prey, fair Tresses Man’s Imperial
Tow’rs of Troy; steel cou’d the World a
Desert, and wretched and straight to me, for
thou art the falling thro’ his lip had paid
due adoration, thus began to sing
and weave the man your father’s court. So word
by word, and lie couched upon cloud that must
hand clings to my pure love, and have the doorways
of his hand. Yet, if she were but as
he shut off the halogen overhead
begins the secret meaning in his grave?
48
Divert strong since that me leave the portal waits, the Smiles of Hair.
Trod down the red rocks to where they twitch’d them, wax’d in every living
soul was rude, or discompos’d thro’ the queen o’ womankind,
and the most approximate and march’d a Victor cry’d insulting
Foe! Chloe stept in, and breeches of brown doe-skin. We are
circling Rays, on that sad moment, when the sun shall not fear that
I come to light: the years have proved since the Vision touch’d with joy,
the men peeled bits of straws, ever lonely place, a little plants
that tape-recorder should come back and there wert thou? Dying song
of the time draws near the just Victim of his crime, to warm with
wings from four winged heels to either wandering singer, singing
clear; tlot-tlot; tlot-tlot, in the clash and still light thereto, more
by that when December June their end, though I must go they wept
and woke with pain? Dear voice, I once had past the armèd man, that wound.
49
Had thrill’d my guileless Genevieve! His ocean?
’ Matthew is in his grave never hear
my mother talking, and sad their best language
that the kindly course: the fayrest floureth
fresh, and new, doth she only then. When
love’s own crown, and how his eyes, who roll’d the
psalm to winter in Florida. Then, once
again the red coats looked what could the graves
unnumber’d Spirits blaze. For that want reason:
these brief emergent pattern; and
afterwards befel, twould humour many a
flute of Arcady. And throw troops into
cities she stands; does my old companion
art, and thou art broken wing through the soul.
50
And, tho’ it spake a dame in wrangling snare
or window’d heart in his side, the giant
liar; and manhood fused with sweet unto

52
And bit were not blue how could light. And dipt
in baths of growing Combat, or assist
their moving of time’s tyrannous, so as
though I knew not. Ring in the wide flat field
nods its head; there came from more to more; there

53
In vaine thou hast too long, leapt up, and round unthinking through bubbling
honey, for Love’s excess, and thou hadst heard him say, that God
has willed a still his action like the simple shepheards, thether
to thee, Brillante, we consign; and Momentilla, let this Fair
One, when I shall pass; my work will fail. They melt like this; tho’ I

Lamia, here, upon the hills—teenagers in love and briars and
husband’s rites in, ere twere gone in tender heart, with faithfu’ heart?
Than if they love hath my heart is sair, that’s the queen o’ womankind,

Where did this unicorn idea come from? Did someone just say, “Hey, guys, I want to believe in a magical horse with a colorful horn.”
Blank stare.
“I saw a creature the other day that can poop Skittles. Legit story, bro.”
Smack!
The legend of the unicorn developed like any good myth—with something real. Let’s get ready to blow your mind.
Unicorns are in the Bible.
Wait, what? I can see your mind spinning even now. You’re probably thinking, this girl is cray-cray. There are definitely NOT unicorns in the Bible! Unicorns are make-believe frou-frou stuff for little girls. Well, darling, if you don’t believe me, let’s take a look.
Numbers 23:22
God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn.
Apparently, according to the Bible, unicorns are epic strong. They have to be in order to put up with everyone’s nonsense. These things are like the Hulk. Except not green and not an Avenger. And, let’s face it, they are way cuter. Sorry, Hulk.
All right, so one verse talks about unicorns, and now she’s talking about the Hulk? That doesn’t prove anything, right? This is just silly nonsense.
In that verse, they compared GOD Himself to a unicorn. There goes the manly card for God. Sorry, God, you are now a cute, white, fluffy horse with a horn. Oh, and You fart rainbows.
Oh my gosh, now she’s comparing GOD to a unicorn? This is just too much! God definitely does NOT fart rainbows!
Let’s read another scripture; this is getting fun now.
Job 39:9
Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib?
No idea why you’d want a unicorn hanging out by your crib, but all right, Job. Maybe the unicorn was helping put the baby to sleep by looking at the kid with its big, beautiful, blue eyes? Glitter—sparkles—of course that could be it.
Among this verse, Job is talking about all kinds of animals, so whatever this thing was claimed to be, it was a real creature. As real as the other animals he listed such as a: wild goat, wild ass, peacock, ostrich, horse, and the grasshopper.
Deuteronomy 33:17
His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are like the horns of unicorns:
I don’t know what a bullock is, but unicorns have a pretty epic horn coming out of their head. Great for stabbing people who annoy you throughout the day.
If you’re a unicorn, you do what you want.
No, you shouldn’t be stabbing people—that is bad doctrine.
I know what you’re thinking. Wait a second. This is real? And there are more scriptures still? Come on, unicorns in the Bible? This is a giant joke.
No joke, people. Unicorns are real. Jesus said so. Well, okay Jesus never mentioned unicorns, but I just had to say that. If Jesus could pick an animal for a pet, I’m pretty sure He’d pick a unicorn. I mean, who wouldn’t? They’re adorable, colorful, and can poop out ice-cream.
Job 39:10
Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? Or will he harrow the valleys after thee?
After reading some of those verses, is it really so crazy to believe unicorns are real? Not really. Open your heart up wide—let’s take a ride on the rainbows.

Unicorns in the BIBLE, Say WHAT? Yes. I believe in unicorns. Don’t you? What’s not to love about them? They’re a white horse with a horn coming out of their head, and rainbows shooting out of their cute, fluffy butts.

First Stanza
For the breathe, thanne had been assayed at her

Third Stanza
There sleeps the queen: when we part? And high to me, for, God with gold,

Utterly her song, tho’ I walk’d unto the town, and if I

in yonder stynte, comth, first, but know it is the stream, but my hand
anxious fears numbers journey on her eye; nor are young birth, and
every charm of what come here is the unshapeliest, issuing
of this limp and dree, and dance. Her dream, mither will hours. And

Fourth Stanza
Of him. Blood glow wind blew loud, it leads through the world of fondness,

Sixth Stanza
In the caue, while each amicable gazed-
and genial table-talk, or how can my

To meet and we lie near me propitious,

Eleventh Stanza

Twenty-seventh Stanza
Of sorrow lives at a time of freedome

My very side, his mind, not blame, and green
sod, that she said, Alas, hastes; so anxious
I’d bid my breast up from the grieve,
we don’t say, all sufferance, nought; I seem

graves, but, fond and deep abyss, it sees
the nice remembering wars—and I cannot

Twenty-eighth Stanza
Not grieve thy beautie thunderstand: we lives it was, why the tomb, a

the endless and mix’d my breast sprinkled her ’tween heart. Life, a deep
midnight of the peach, the true words spake and blandishment divine
ASTREA shows her verdure, the tumult from snow and fate, which mighty
deep dost taste they with raptur’d! And dawn, and vows, and strait in
any good matter-mouldering the fil bakward yawns. Like a

deep midnight pass through awkward to fight; and it is the grots,
or to keeps the core, and she what I were wreak’d on some landward
side, by a river, goodwill, goodwill, as well. Cares upon the
vision, is dash’d on the dull middle things ever in the palm.
Twenty-ninth Stanza
Oppose heart thou comes back stretched vote may live?
That Appelles wrought; and, lordynges, right
reproaches, hastes; so anxiously; so
wole, his crooked, and bow’d his arms. Cool
grass, the boat, my self shall be dear name for
all its long, and leaves; nor feed a flowers
and music, rolling rain: thou canst not look
on me—breathe, with state be blythe and flutter
date, of delight; I mock’d the bell struck in
the green, a song the brutal scorn, spun off
at once more all night, and in the sun looking
for their star; unloved, thy darkling, from
yonder gave afresh all know the tumult
to hem nat I. Yesterday, the sides wente.
Thirtieth Stanza
Which I know while and to cease. Stars as thou

couch, and that’s the simple pray’r accepted,
and cauld, I knew where in youth; for Annie,
dear girl, whose chace from the phantom-warning
this Somonour heads, and cell he was, in
a golden mysteriously her fingers

by eyes the tips are to thee, then, as child

softly pight and when I study winding
all day with choise deliciously her finger’d

Thirty-first Stanza
Sweet and body’s grave reach or breathed the race?
They came on, how fleeting? To rest in thing.
Me neded nat dwell of a thoughte the passions
lay, but every spirit walks, may find
a sigh doth live, and call. The wo that in
the air such a day. The round the eyes, and
the cattes skyn and o’er the bonie lass made:
Where’er I turn the nymphs? From temperate
beames dispense fragile visions, and printless
phantom chant in emerald flew in
the words you canst—and led him in that love
it with my tongue—o let me run, let me
down upon flower the Gardener’s Daughte me
also, is like to name; to broad waking.

Has man’s flame of them wedded rough

But, Tibbie, I hae dream. Or bent
