Nay, but jack, such eyes! such eyes! so innocently wild! so bashfully irresolute! not a glance but speaks and kindles some thought of love! then, jack, her cheeks! her cheeks, jack! so deeply blushing at the insinuations of her tell-tale eyes! then, jack, her lips! o, jack, lips smiling at their own discretion! and, if not smiling, more sweetly pouting - more lovely in sullenness! then, jack, her neck! o, jack, jack!

The only thing we took out was the constitution of the state of mississippi and the interpretation of the constitution. we had 63,000 people registered on the freedom registration form. and we tried from every level to go into the regular democratic party medium. we tried from the precinct level. the 16th of june when they were holding precinct meetings all across the state, i was there and there was eight of us there to attend the meeting, and they had the door locked at 10 o'clock in the morning. this is what's happening in the state of mississippi.

Men in great place are thrice servants; servants of the sovereign state, servants of fame, and servants of business; so as they have no freedom, neither in their persons, nor in their actions, nor in their times. it is a strange desire to seek power and to lose liberty; or to seek power over others, and to lose power over a man's self.

It is regrettable that senator kennedy has chosen veteran's day to continue leveling baseless and false attacks that send the wrong signal to our troops and our enemy during a time of war. it is also regrettable that senator kennedy has found more time to say negative things about president bush then he ever did about saddam hussein. if america were to follow senator kennedy's foreign policy, saddam hussein would not only still be in power, he would be oppressing and occupying kuwait.

I was thinking, i could turn him into a fly and drop him into a spider's web and watch him tangled and helpless and struggling, shut into the body of a dying buzzing fly; i could wish him dead until he died.i could fasten him to a tree and keep him there until he grew into the trunk and bark grew over his mouth. if he was under the ground i could walk over him stamping my feet.
Struggle Thinking Feet
Or perhaps a widow found him and took him in: brought him an easy chair, changed his sweater every morning, shaved his face until the hair stopped growing, took him faithfully to bed with her every night, whispered sweet nothings into what was left of his ear, laughed with him over black coffee, cried with him over yellowing pictures, talked greenly about having kids of her own, began to miss him before she became sick, left him everything in her will, thought of only him as she died, always knew he was fiction but believed in him anyway.

It was in the days when france's power was already broken upon the seas, and when more of her three-deckers lay rotting in the medway than were to be found in brest harbour. but her frigates and corvettes still scoured the ocean, closely followed ever by those of her rival. at the uttermost ends of the earth these dainty vessels, with sweet names of girls or of flowers, mangled and shattered each other for the honour of the four yards of bunting which flapped from the end of their gaffs.

The one thing about a christmas carol that always bothers me is that cratchit is so sweet and perfect. he's like an ivy league kid who just is labeled "poor." he doesn't have any bad habits. he's never cranky with his kids.

O' thinkest thou we shall ever meet again? i doubt it not; and all these woes shall serve for sweet discourses in our times to come.
Sweet Doubt Woe
Westly, westly, westly, westly, westly,--darling westly, adored westly, sweet perfect westly, whisper that i have a chance to win your love." and with that, she dared the bravest thing she'd ever done: she looked right into his eyes. he closed the door in her face.
