| Quote: | The Youth, who daily farther from the east
Must travel, still is Nature's priest,
And by the vision splendid
Is on his way attended;
At length the Man perceives it die away,
And fade into the light of common day.
|
Wordsworth: Ode to Immortality

"In the stormy east-wind straining,
The pale yellow woods were waning,
The broad stream in his banks complaining.
Heavily the low sky raining
Over tower'd Camelot;"
-The Lady of Shalott, Alfred, Lord Tennyson

In war we're tough and able,
Quite indefatigable.
Between our quests we sequin vests and impersonate Clark Gable.
It's a busy life in Camelot.
I have to push the pram a lot.
-M. Python
btw, is that the red bull from the last unicorn? if so, I am totally adopting you.

And yes, HamletSr, that is the Red Bull from the Last Unicorn.

Soon again I heard a tapping, something louder than before,"

| Quote: | Those who have crossed
With direct eyes, to death's other Kingdom
Remember us -- if at all -- not as lost
Violent souls, but only
As the hollow men
The stuffed men. |
T.S. Eliot: The Hollow Men
God I'm such a canon whore

"A wizard is never late, Frodo Baggins. Nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to."
- said by Gandalf, in 'Fellowship of the Ring', JRR Tolkien.
Hopefully I actually used the line from the book and didn't get screwed up by subtle movie alterations.
