i carry your heart with me (i carry it in my heart) i am never without it (anywhere i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling) i fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) i want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows higher than soul can hope or mind can hide) and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)
(c) E.E. Cummings

Half the night I waste in sighs, Half in dreams I sorrow after The delight of early skies; In a wakeful dose I sorrow For the hand, the lips, the eyes, For the meeting of the morrow . . .

I'm not frightened. I'm not frightened of anything. The more I suffer, the more I love. Danger will only increase my love. It will sharpen it, forgive its vice. I will be the only angel you need. You will leave life even more beautiful than you entered it. Heaven will take you back and look at you and say: Only one thing can make a soul complete and that thing is love.
Love and Intrigue by Friedrich Schiller

Она сидела на полу И груду писем разбирала, И, как остывшую золу, Брала их в руки и бросала.
Брала знакомые листы И чудно так на них глядела, Как души смотрят с высоты На ими брошенное тело...
О, сколько жизни было тут, Невозвратимо пережитой! О, сколько горестных минут, Любви и радости убитой!..
Стоял я молча в стороне И пасть готов был на колени,- И страшно грустно стало мне, Как от присущей милой тени.

When Grace Gifford, the sister-in-law of Tomas MacDonagh, picked Easter Sunday 1916 as the date on which she was to marry Joseph Plunkett she had obviously no idea of the tragic events ahead of them.
Days before the planned wedding Joseph Plunkett, who suffered his entire life under respiration troubles, was admitted to the hospital and underwent an emergency operation. On Easter Monday 1916, the day after the postponed wedding, Plunkett manned his post in the General Post Office (GPO) in Dublin to take part in the Easter Rising.
After the surrender of the rebels Joseph Plunkett was arrested and imprisoned in Kilmainham Gaol. Just hours before his execution on 4 May 1916 he married Grace Gifford in the jail chapel with two prison guards as witnesses.

As we gather in the chapel here in old Kilmainham Jail I think about these past few weeks, oh will they say we've failed? From our school days they have told us we must yearn for liberty Yet all I want in this dark place is to have you here with me Oh Grace just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger They'll take me out at dawn and I will die With all my love I place this wedding ring upon your finger There won't be time to share our love for we must say goodbye Now I know it's hard for you my love to ever understand The love I bare for these brave men, the love for my dear land But when Pádraic called me to his side down in the GPO I had to leave my own sick bed, to him I had to go Oh, Grace just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger They'll take me out at dawn and I will die With all my love I'll place this wedding ring upon your finger There won't be time to share our love for we must say goodbye Now as the dawn is breaking, my heart is breaking too On this May morn as I walk out, my thoughts will be of you And I'll write some words upon the wall so everyone will know I loved so much that I could see his blood upon the rose. Oh, Grace just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger They'll take me out at dawn and I will die With all my love I'll place this wedding ring upon your finger There won't be time to share our love for we must say goodbye For we must say goodbye

Oh, hello there, such a coincidence to meet you here! Yes yes, I'm quite fine, thank you. How are you doing? Ah, that's not too nice. No sorry, can't help you with that. Yeah, I understand, your son doesn't come to visit you too often. Oh, he's married now, eh? And a kid is coming up? Well, congratulations on that! No, I'm not married yet. No children either. Yes, I'm aware of how old I am. I'm just happy the way I am now, thank you. Yes, I do. No, he's not a jew. No, I don't think there's a big problem with that, why? My mom wouldn't mind, I'm sure. And nor would my grandfather. No, I'm sure he wouldn't have a heart attack if he found out. I'm fairly certain the most important thing for him would be to see me happy, rather than married to a jew. No, I'm quite sure I knew my grandfather better. So what are you doing here? Ah, I see, visiting your mom. Yeah, I go there from time to time. No, not too often. Because I don't think you have to go through all those rituals to think about someone. You can do it any day and any time of the day. Well, then we have different opinions on the matter. Yes, in august. In a few days, actually, august 4th. 6years it's gonna be. Yes, that's such an awful thing to happen. I'm holding up allright, thank you. Oh, you didn't think I could manage? Well, here's a surprise for you then, I hope is a pleasant one. Yeah, I gotta run too, nice seeing you. Bye bye.

I am happy That I have you Even though you're not here now I know somewhere You are dreaming Though it's definitely not of me It doesn't matter If this all shatters Nothing lasts forever But I'm praying That we're staying Together I am warmed by Your friendship Even when you're far away And I'm happy In the knowledge We may never see the day When I kiss you And you kiss me Don't pretend you miss me The worst kind Of diseased mind Is one filled with jealousy

"Time is like a wheel. Turning and turning - never stopping. And the woods are the center; the hub of the wheel. It began the first week of summer, a strange and breathless time when accident, or fate, bring lives together. When people are led to do things, they've never done before. On this summersday, not so very long ago, the wheel set lives in motion in mysterious ways."
"Tuck said it to Winnie the summer she turned 15: Do not fear death, but rather the unlived life. You don't have to live forever. You just have to live. And she did."
(c) Tuck Everlasting

I was born with the wrong sign In the wrong house With the wrong ascendancy I took the wrong road That led to the wrong tendencies I was in the wrong place at the wrong time For the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme On the wrong day of the wrong week I used the wrong method with the wrong technique Wrong Wrong There's something wrong with me chemically Something wrong with me inherently The wrong mix in the wrong genes I reached the wrong ends by the wrong means It was the wrong plan In the wrong hands The wrong theory for the wrong man The wrong eyes on the wrong prize The wrong questions with the wrong replies Wrong Wrong (c) Depeche Mode - Wrong

Несколько спонтанно на день рождения товарищу Александру был презентован 52-дюймовый HDTV, на котором товарищ теперь почему-то не играет в долгожданный Fallout 3, но регулярно смотрит со мной малоинтересные ему фильмы а-ля Гарри Поттер и Что-То Этакое. В качестве мести Из чистых душевных побуждений, вчера мне перекрыли доступ в интернет и в добровольно принудительном порядке показали две серии Scrubs. Хаус круче, но это тоже очень даже ничего.
День Независимости в этом году очень даже удался. На мой взгляд, обалденно красиво украсили Каменный мост и Верманский парк. Салют тоже был на ура - на удивление, погода в этом году не подвела. Потешив глаз праздничными зрелищами и потолкавшись в толпе желающих незамедлительно покинуть набережную по головам присутствующих, мы завернули в Пэдди перекусить. Тут меня посетила шальная мысль из серии давно я тут не пила разливного пива и нужно срочно это исправлять. Вобщем, не стоило мне пива-то пить после длительных прогулок на свежем воздухе, да. Наутро изнутре организма мне уныло доложили, что состояние системы так себе, температура повышенная и на работу как-то вот не то, чтобы очень желательно.
Проведя в этом туманном состоянии с неделю, я таки решилась сделать ЭТО и посмотрела первую серию Лоста. Потом вторую. Больше мне посмотреть не дали, потому что уже 4 утра, а завтра на работу.
Вобщем, жизнь продолжается... К сожалению, не у всех. Воскресная непогода стала причиной множества автокатастроф, в одной из которых погиб наш коллега. Здесь про него очень хорошо сказано, добавить особо нечего. Меняйте покрышки своевременно и ездите аккуратно, пожалуйста.

The show seemed a bit short, probably because the guys rarely talked at all, sticking to the standard "thank you" every three songs. On the other hand, that allowed them to fit the total of 20 songs in around one hour and 35 minutes and keep everyone happy. In general, it was nice, full of energy, but not without some minor flaws - they mixed something with the sound a bit while performing "Valentines Day", so it sounded very odd and hardly audible. Lenny Kravitz on the way :)
( A lovely pic from the concert review article )
( Very bad quality pics, takien with the phone, because I forgot the memory stick for the camera )
Don't be afraid I've taken my beating I've shared what I made
I'm strong on the surface Not all the way through I've never been perfect But neither have you
So if you're asking me I want you to know
When my time comes Forget the wrong that I've done Help me leave behind some Reasons to be missed
Don't resent me And when you're feeling empty Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest

The yesterday's fun continued in the night, when I went out for a cigarette and - oh, lookie, fire trucks again! Today's morning started with no water, no phone/Internet, a gas emergency service truck and a huge pile of burnt crap from the basement in the backyard.

Having barely slept at night, due to workers happily and loudly changing tram rails right under your window, and then seeing three fire trucks, a police car and an ambulance outide and smelling the smoke when getting up in the morning surely isn't a good way to start your day. Finding out that we now don't have any water and the local phone line (read: omg, no TV and Internet, who cares about the local phone) has been cut off didn't help either.
I still have no idea what happened, but it seems like something in the basement started burning, that could explain the no water issue. Hopefully, it's nothing serious and will be fixed by the time I get home, because having no Internet water isn't something that I can cope with for long.
On a more bright side, I do find it a bit ironic, since only yesterday I was discussing power failures and water supply cut offs with someone and I mentioned the fact that we didn't have any problems with anything for quite a while now, and then the next morning...

I think of you And wonder who You are and what's your line I wonder if there's someone else Or if it's true that I'm the only one In your life
I only worry for your own sake I don't know much about the deals you make There's so much that you hide from me The mystery: Am I the only one? The only one
I don't know you You don't know me I wonder what we share It's just that now And then you smile And suddenly I know you care And I'm the only one for a while
Though you've many reasons To tell me a lie I can't help believing That I should be for you And you for me The only one
