Zirealism

And a fine line it is, too!

That's a damn fine line.

A single swan can shatter a full-grown man's femur, and they're the nastiest bird this side of the Canadian goose. On top of that, these two lost souls appear to have stumbled into a fearsome hunting whiteness.

Run fools! Run while you still can!

This is why I take my trips to the Isle of Cormorants!

I am considering an extended vacation on the Peninsula of Pingwims. They're short, they walk funny, they got it goin' on.

Yay, Apache Server Upgrad3!

A sudden blow: the great wings beating still
Above the staggering girl, her thighs caressed
By the dark webs, her nape caught in his bill,
He holds her helpless breast upon his breast.

How can those terrified vague fingers push
Ach! It reminds me of
"Leda und der Schwantz"

The feathered glory from her loosening thighs?
And how can body, laid in that white rush,
But feel the strange heart beating where it lies?

A shudder in the loins engenders there
The broken wall, the burning roof and tower
And Agamemnon dead.
Being so caught up,
So mastered by the brute blood of the air,
Did she put on his knowledge with his power
Before the indifferent beak could let her drop?

--W. B. Yeats

a favorite poem of mine!

I like the poem about there is no joy in Mudville. And Dangerous Dan McGrew and Sam McGee. In Alaska, there are many Irishmen and Penguins.
