… and we march up to the mountains
With our torches
Wielding picks and wires
We shall take the world by storm
With little more than sparks and fires
We will do all that our hearts desire
when we lay claim to the lands
that once belonged to the skies
So bring your spades and pliers
There will be light in sight
It will be [...]

Her hair was once lush
Her skin dewy
as the early day

Man’s life requires the achievement of values: he must build his houses, grow his food, develop the medicines that cure the diseases which afflict him, and discover the principles in logic, philosophy, [...]

It is a vice. I do love sugar. But I used to have other vices too. I think the other vices have just fallen by the wayside, and sugar has stepped up a little bit to take their place. But that’s not actually why I got into it. In the beginning, I was looking at [...]

My sister was given a doll once not dissimilar from these ones. She was terrified of her. I always liked to lay the doll down and then set her upright again, just watching her close and open her eyes. She had overtly large green eyes and long luscious lashes that would flutter with every [...]
