The White Rose Knighted


Perfervia was the Queen


.........who knighted a white rose


.............................dressed in a garland


.....................................of pear garden green





and rose became man


........who crossed morphine and milk


.......,,,,,,,.......fawn drank the potion


..................................that made fawn dream a dryad


................................................whose garment was silk





and the silk nymph rambled


............and robbed monkeys and men


.........................till a tear tossed a turn-key


...........................................that opened a gaol. then





the bottom of heaven


...........dropped from the skies


..............................and the ear descent light





blinded nymph's eyes


.....nymph fell through a hole


..........in Swiss fromage skies


............and dropped to a place where breath whispered flames

....................................................flicker and die

Eric Whitacre's Virtual Choir - 'Lux Aurumque'

Amazing...

Enjoy this actual, virtual choir, from Eric Whitacre.

And many thanks to fellow Phantom phan, liveforlife2494, from YouTube, for the tip. =)

Got the Barnes & Noble

for my b'day earlier this year, but was told


to wait as they were coming out with newer models...

I'm not sorry I didn't wait, but they do have one now
that has a color screen - just in time for Christmas =)

I'm really likin' mine. Plus, this is the cover I got,
with its quote from G. K. Chesterton: "Literature is a
luxury; fiction is a necessity."

Thanks to Anna

Revelation Song, Mercy Seat, Resurrection, The Passion from YouTube.
