A Woman Does Not Have To Wait
under the old canal bridge you said
so i can hear the echoes
in your head
repeating mine
this time
when it throws
our voices from roof into water
where i caught her
reflection half in half out of sunshine.

“And on the subject of burning books: I want to congratulate librarians, not famous for their physical strength or their powerful political connections or their great wealth, who, all over this country, have staunchly resisted anti-democratic bullies who have tried to remove certain books from their shelves, and have refused to reveal to thought police the names of persons who have checked out those titles.

I've wanted to dive into reading James Joyce, but have always gotten ..."Lo Jerry! Thankye for accepting my friend request on here. Coooool overlaps. Hardy is my favourite novelist..especially Tess and The Return Of The Native. Chandler..superb in that genre..love Bogart and Bacall..The Big Sleep..fantastic dialogue and so many memorable scenes. My favourite poets are Seamus Heaney and W B Yeats but so many others living and dead run them close in certain poems. Joyce's Dubliner's is a good book of short stories to dip into. A Portrait Of The Artist As A Young Man is short but brilliant..enjoy it for yourself! Ulysees http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulysses_..., like Cervantes Don Quixote, is best savoured at one's leisure. I love stream of consciousness.
I have been a Manchester United fan since the age of three and grew up four hundred metres from Old Trafford.
Thankye and take care...Strider
