Enjoy. Adieu! Amour, Naomi the unknown "okie" angel - --- Get Drunk! - Charles Baudelaire (1821-1867) One must always be drunk. That's it; the only question. So as not to feel the hideous weight of Time breaking your shoulders and bowing you to the earth, one must be drunk without rest. On what? On wine, on poetry, or on virtue, as you please. But get drunk. And if sometimes, on the steps of the palace, on the green grass of a ditch, in the gloomy solitude of your room, you wake-your drunkenness already ebbing or gone, ask the wind, the wave, the star; the bird, the clock, ask everything that flies, everything that moans or moves, everything that sings, everything that speaks, ask what time it is; and the wind, wave, star, bird, clock will tell you, "It's time to get drunk! So as not to be the martyred slaves of time, get drunk; get drunk without ceasing! On wine, on poetry, or on virtue, as you choose." - --- "And when somebody knows you well Well, there's no comfort like that And when somebody needs you Well, there's no drug like that" ~Heather Nova Angelfire for your free web-based e-mail. http://www.angelfire.com ------------------------------ End of eda-thoughts-digest V1 #250 **********************************
