Sunday Quote

The Angels were all singing out of tune,
And hoarse with having little else to do,
Excepting to wind up the sun and moon
Or curb a runaway young star or two.


~Lord Byron

Isn't it great to discover the "current" sense of humor in an older poet? It makes time seem awarp.

Oh, yes. Makes me yearn for a time travel machine ( but what would be my first stop?).
