AN ILLUSION TO MANY, such as to work from the shadow's, that I like to be in. BUT, back to my point I am trying to make to you, about yourself, The dated bricks leave no doubt that the PANTHEON was built between 118 and 128 AD under HADRIAN. It seemed that he refused to sign the greatest architectural monument of the age. Now the ancients found him baffling of character, I see it in all things are,changeable. NOW in 1520 the artist Raphael chose to be buried there, also the first two kings of the new Italian nation were intomb there. WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH ME YOU ARE SAYING, Well let me say this about that, Animula vagula blandula, Hospes comesque corporis, Quae nunc abibis in loca,Pallidula rigida nudula, Nec ut soles dabis iocos. Meaning as to Old 4 sq is saying, little soul, wandering gentle guest and companion of the body, into what places will you now go, pale, stiff, and naked, no longer sporting as you did. SO YOU SAY, JUST AN ENGINEER, SPEAK IN SIMPLE SENTENCES, Just as in the tragic last act of PUCCINI's TOSCA, Enjoy your life, and what you have become, the fertile afterlife will be here befor you know it. Old 4 sq, in the land between the two rivers. Last edited by Old 4 sq : 05-20-2008 at 10:09 PM. |

but as far as the afterlife goes, none for me. But i will simply quote one of my heros... I cannot conceive of a God who rewards and punishes his creatures, or has a will of the kind that we experience in ourselves. Neither can I nor would I want to conceive of an individual that survives his physical death; let feeble souls, from fear or absurd egoism, cherish such thoughts. I am satisfied with the mystery of the eternity of life and with the awareness and a glimpse of the marvelous structure of the existing world, together with the devoted striving to comprehend a portion, be it ever so tiny, of the Reason that manifests itself in nature. |

I was on my own at the age of 17. I like to read a lot, plus I have been in many places on this earth,I am getting old now, some day I like to return to the Nordic Lands, to raised my drinking horn, in the splendid vault of Denmark"s Victory Hall. When the time comes, to be put into a longship, to be laid on a pyre and covered in treasure and decorated with flowers and thorns, the emblems of sleep. This ship will then be set aflame and pushed out to sea where it will shine brightly, befor sinking into darkness ![]() ![]() :sadsmili e:Old 4 sq, in the land between the two rivers. Or be put in a shopping cart, with some fire logs, set on fire, and pushed into the Schuylkill river, the cheap way to go. ![]() ![]() |
