Enough talk already.

Time to seek refuge in the wordless world.

अनामित म्हणाले...: In Xanadu...

And there were gardens bright with sinuous rills,
Where blossomed many an incense-bearing tree;
And here were forests ancient as the hills,
Enfolding sunny spots of greenery.

But oh! that deep romantic chasm which slanted
Down the green hill athwart a cedarn cover!
A savage place! as holy and enchanted
As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted
By woman wailing for her demon-lover!
And from this chasm, with ceaseless turmoil seething,
As if this earth in fast thick pants were breathing,
A mighty fountain momently was forced...

The veggies green,

अनामित म्हणाले...: Perhaps a haiku:

Onion rings in summer
We crunch carrot sticks as well
So humid, so warm.; २५/६/०७, ३:५१ PM
ricpic म्हणाले...: Second try.

The sky was white,
The veggies green,
A sweet retreat
There, in between.; २५/६/०७, ४:०२ PM
Meade म्हणाले...: "Time to seek refuge in the wordless world."

After all, what are words worth really?

That in life's every-day appearances
I seemed about this time to gain clear sight
Of a new world--a world, too, that was fit
To be transmitted, and to other eyes
Made visible; as ruled by those fixed laws
Whence spiritual dignity originates,
Which do both give it being and maintain
A balance, an ennobling interchange
Of action from without and from within;
The excellence, pure function, and best power
Both of the objects seen, and eye that sees.; २५/६/०७, ४:३४ PM
blake म्हणाले...: And yet...obscenities lurk in every shadow.

More a propos of the carrot stick/onion ring controversy is this little snipped from Michael Yon (via Glenn Reynolds):

Other AQI edicts included beatings for ... obscene sexual suggestiveness, defined by such “loose” behavior as carrying tomatoes and cucumbers in the same bag.

tjl म्हणाले...: Such was that happy Garden-state
While Man there walked without a Mate:
After a Place so pure and sweet,
What other Help could yet be meet!
But twas beyond a Mortal's share
To wander solitary there:
Two Paradises twere in one
To live in Paradise alone.; २५/६/०७, ७:१३ PM
