A TIME OF TORMENT

Like a dog, he hunts in dreams.
                          - Alfred, Lord Tennyson (1809-1892) "Locksley Hall"




Oh! How many torments lie in the
small circles of a wedding ring!
                           - Colley Cibbes  (1671-1757) "The Double Gallant)



Take to my side
And we'll walk on
to where the frost of the Dead King
Weigh heavy on the vine
                          - Espers  "The Dead King"


And ye shall overthrow their altars,
and break their pillars, and burn their
groves with fire; and ye shall hew
down the graven images of their Gods,
and destroy the names of them out of
that place
                          - Deuteronomy 12: 3



It should be noted that children at play 
are not merely playing;  their games
should be seen as their most serious
actions.
                          - Michel de Montaigne (1533-1597)  Essays 1,23
