Be well and please don't let those good-byes be forever.

MMMMMMMmmmmmmmm. Methinks something ain't quite right here ya'll. So, VL Sphinx, spill your guts here while you can before you choose to spill your blood for eternity. There is little that cannot be talked out here, but please don't have a thin skin when others try to respond to you in what they consider "helpful" albeit in somewhat oblique approach at times. I know Zenhussy very well, and can attest that "hat person"has a heart of gold. You, however, if you really want our help, have to be patient with those who proffer tidbits of assistance. If you make an abstract posting, expect abstract responses. If you have a straight forward problem to discuss, present it just as if you were telling a friend. There are very few people currently posting on these boards who would ever try to attack you or chide you. Ask straight questions, make straight forward reports, then sit back and watch the responses come back. That's my 2 cents.

> MMMMMMMmmmmmmmm. Methinks something ain't quite right here ya'll.
thinking is the worst habit, we have to abbolish it... it is better to be ignorant and happy than knowledged and maddened by god's little rain of derangements...
>So, VL Sphinx, spill your guts here while you can before you choose to spill your blood for eternity.
the thing is, there is no eternity, infinity is the same thing as nothing at all... perhaps i will sit on god's lap and stroke his beard and he will laugh and say, "wasn't it a good joke, though?"... and i will flit off in my nightie and play the other angel games...
>There is little that cannot be talked out here, but please don't have a thin skin when others try to respond to you in what they consider "helpful" albeit in somewhat oblique approach at times.

>I know Zenhussy very well, and can attest that "hat person"has a heart of gold. You, however, if you really want our help, have to be patient with those who proffer tidbits of assistance.
patients are a virtue to the medical society, i have patients... we are talking clocks, that sour between the gum and the tooth, the soiled brow of thermopylae, that restless wandering mind, i am loving, i patiently accept your assistance, but god has made me a box of mixed up pieces. i can can not fathom, is it a boat, a broad, the whore i am in a mirror, mother whore, god whore, mary whore... who licked the scum off of me in the 17th sacrament? who is to say, by all appologies if i seem to hear voices...
>If you make an abstract posting, expect abstract responses. If you have a straight forward problem to discuss, present it just as if you were telling a friend.
you see, that is my dilema, tired skinny, wasted girl in the mirror, hair in tatters, mirror eye, god eye, and the answer is never as easy as the question... i do not expect an easy answer... but the voices tell me to write, so i do, and they tell me to burn, but voice #3 says that is a bad voice... and bad voices go to hell. it's hot there, and full of mistrials... your finite mistake has earned you an eternity of pain, my god my god... salome, bring me the head of john the baptist... lest he fester in his god hole. blue eyes, i love you allready.
>There are very few people currently posting on these boards who would ever try to attack you or chide you.
wait and see darling, i have no harm in this body for even a fly... but the copper can't buy you a ferry ride to long island... and it's as if although, since the bottom of the ages i have been lapping here in a circle as if badmouthing an alienage, plotting an incarnation a death. who am i talking to blue eyes? lord, get me a phrenologist! i need examined. blue eyes, i mean you no harm. i heed what you say.

Put me out of my misery and translate please? I googled up Virgil's Aeneas Bk IX lines 184-187 and 193-196 but I can't find the lines in English. Something about making God out of our ***shudder** cupidity? Just guessing. My linguistic ambitions are focused on Esperanto at the moment. I don't understand why that never caught on. I was teaching it to myself as a child but I forgot about it for a few decades. Absent minded me. Did you learn Latin as a child or later on?

Well no wonder the sphinx was crying. I don't know about my dream though. Except the translation was wrong- I guess I don't have mysterious untapped powers after all.

Dinah,
You've a head full of clues. And I have to giggle at Oddipus's referrence to the board game in his subject line to you in this thread. : )
Public forum and thread open to all. I don't have a clue as to the Latin being tossed about but I'm still intrigued by this discussion.

a very little sphinx,
Are your tears from being trapped in rock for so many years? From being carved into what you are not?
I worry little one. Any way for you to add more to your choice of the pen vs. the sword?

those sharp apron tied stringencies, battened by fat black food, muscles, clams, ugly ugly analogies, the grease of my first kiss, hard hot hands, the weight of boys is so much... and all rutheless agressors... all boys and rutheless agressors are laden with feelings of inferiority.... but not all boys are boys...that big dark man, that power that can't be contained, or had, or owned, ever ever ever, dark aeroplane man, lindburgh man, iron cross on my heart.
the only love, the only love that we can give that is real, that is real love, the only love we can give anyone else is the love we give to those whom we love more than ourselves. all other love is proxy, it is love for the please that those who we say we love give us, we love what makes us happy, no one really loves anyone. we must love those as if to say that we would gladly give our lives for them, the unly deed truely free from all evil is one which inflicts a pain upon ourselves...
and if you lie at the bottom of the ocean, the fish lie right back... jesus left them multiplying and multiplying and there seems to be no stopping them. they are amassing an army, gathering their darkness.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself. Psychology is action, not thinking about oneself. We continue to shape our personality all our life. If we knew ourselves perfectly, we should die.

Hi there,
I've been reading your posts and i am curious---what language are you speaking when you're not speaking english? I don't recognize it at all, but then that's not unusual! Also, what is your diagonsis? Mine's bipolar. I am also wondering if you are from the south(I am in Georgia).
Thanx for the time,

Excellent! Excellent Rex! Geese, to think anyone still reads Virgil! Indeed, the quotes were taken from the 9th book of the Aeneid, and translate roughly as:
"Has Heaven (cried Nisus first) this warmth bestowed? Heaven? Or a thought that prompts me like a god? This glorious warmth, my friend, that breaks my rest? Some high exploit lies throbbing in my breast". And then futher down in that chapter:
"Join in one wish, our leader to recall. Now, would they give to you the prize I claim (for I could rest contented with the fame-)An easy road, I think, I can survey. Beneath yonder summit to direct my way."Well done, well done indeed, Rex!
My 5 years of Latin in H.S. and college didn't got totally to waste.

That's where I found the translation finally. I forgot to cite my source. I'm not sure the second one is even right-I was down to counting lines trying to find it. I wish I knew Latin. I love words but I was never very good at languages.
I read a book recently "Seven Sisters" that was about a middle aged woman whose life changed via a class about Virgil.
Glad you liked my original translation too;-) I admit I'm easily amused which makes it easy for me to entertain myself.
