"Seven years your right, under a flagstone, in a quagmire, Without food, without taste, but the thirst you ever torturing, The law of the judges your lesson, and prayer your language: And if you like to return You will be, for a time, a Druid, perhaps.” (Ancient Irish Poem) (but of course I have had 4X7 so far) -- David Dalton [email protected] https://www.nfld.com/~dalton (home page) https://www.nfld.com/~dalton/dtales.html Salmon on the Thorns (mystic page) “And the cart is on a wheel; And the wheel is on a hill; And the hill is shifting sand; And inside these laws we stand" (Ferron)
