A state of being equally balanced; equilibrium; -- as of moral, political, or social interests or forces. 2. Counterbalance. What matters is the poetry, and the truest readings of it "are those which are sensitive to the strangeness of Marvell's genius: its delicate equipoise, held between the sensual and the abstract, its refusal to treat experience too tidily, the uncanny tremor of implication that makes the poems' lucid surfaces shimmer with a sense of something undefined and undefinable just beneath." --James A. Winn, "Tremors of Implication," [1]New York Times, July 9, 2000 I cannot see how the unequal representation which is given to masses on account of wealth becomes the means of preserving the equipoise and the tranquillity of the commonwealth. --Edmund Burke, "Reflections on The Revolution In France" Our little lives are kept in equipoise By opposite attractions and desires. --Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, "Haunted Houses" _________________________________________________________ Equipoise is equi-, "equal" + poise, from Middle English poisen, "to balance, weigh," from Old French peser, pois-, ultimately from Latin pensare, "to weigh."

Love-Hounds, on the other hand, will, as always remain as it is: a gloriously contentious place that rarely sticks to any one topic. Now it's safe again to be two steps on the water. |>oug - ----- End forwarded message ----- ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 28 Aug 2003 10:27:33 -0400 From: "Jeffrey C.

I'm not so keen on Emmylou's songwriting, and all the songs on this one are by or co-written by her. Ah well. Karen __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
