Friday, November 3, 2006 - Thomas Macdonagh From a "Litany of Beauty."
Posted in Poems Prayers Inspiritional And Spiritual

O shapely Flower that must for aye endure!
O Voice of God that every heart must hear!
O Hymn of purest souls that dost unsphere



The ravished soul that lists! O white, white Gem!
O Rose that dost the senses drown in bliss!
No thing can stay, no thing can stem,
No thing can lure the heart to miss
Thy love, thy joy, thy rapture divine--
O Beauty, Beauty, ever thine
The soul, the heart, the brain,
To hymn thee in a loud perpetual strain,
Shriller and sweeter than song of wine,
Than lay of sorrow or love or war--
Beauty of heaven and sun and day,
Beauty of water and frost and star,
Beauty of dusk-tide, narrowing, grey. . .
Beautyof silver light,
Beauty of purple night,
Beauty of solemn breath,
Beauty of closed eye, and sleep, and death. . .
Beauty of dawn and dew,
Beauty of morning peace
Ever ancient and ever new,
Ever renewed till waking cease
Or sleep forever, when loud the angel's word
Through all the world is heard. . .
Beauty of brute and bird,
Beauty of earthly creatures
Whose hearts by the hand of God are stirred.
Beauty of the soul,
Beauty informing forms and features,
Fairest to God's eye,
Beauty that cannot fade or die
Till eternal atoms to ruin roll!
Beauty of blinded Trust,
Led by the hand of God
To a heaven where cherub hath never trod. . .
Austere Beauty of Truth,
Lighting the way of the just. . .
Splendid Beauty of Youth,
Staying when Youth is fled,
Living when Life is dead,
Burning in funeral dust!

The glory of form doth pale and pall,
Beauty endures to the end of all.

A delightful version of
the real warm loving Hillary,
not the "monster" media portrays












I am not Neocon or Republican, not "liberal but progressive"Rather, I like to say "progressive Independent" and independent of ideology, which really means: I think for myself.


My goal is to vanquish Neocons / Bush from this Land near and far...
To make women wake up, get angry, protest and act!
Aw come on . . . it shouldn't be that hard!......
