Let Sporus tremble –"What? that thing of silk,
Sporus, that mere white curd of ass's milk?
Satire or sense, alas! can Sporus feel?
Who breaks a butterfly upon a wheel?"
Yet let me flap this bug with gilded wings,
This painted child of dirt that stinks and stings;
Whose buzz the witty and the fair annoys,
Yet wit ne'er tastes, and beauty ne'r enjoys

Alexander Pope.

I posted this about 8 months ago!

What kind of a mangy maggot tosspot would be slinking around the archives...viewing this thread..in the hope of "finding some dirt" on me??!?!?!

Whomever was doing this....you stupid, pathetic, nothing!

This is why I am your master! ...this is why I dominate you! ...this is why you are an asterix (representing "all others") in the World.

Sorry to disappoint you....I posted that quotation...it means nothing....and you have nothing to take down and use in evidence against me. Eye

Whatever you do...I will win...I will come up roses Eye ...(you are pathetic)

I grow old, I grow old, I shall wear my trousers rolled

I shall walk along sandy, sunlit beaches

Eating ice cream and peaches.

TS Elliot, who did nothing original at all, but got this right (not exact quote, from memory only, and either from Prufrock or Waste Land, can't remember which.).
