ed, did you want me to transliterate that for you? my greek is rather elementary.
astrud got orders from stan: don't you dare upstage me, bitch, or you're back on the streets of rio.
if you see the buddha on the road, piss on him? something to do with derek and the dominoes? gould may be close to the omega, but he leaves the alpha far behind.
i'll believe controlled fusion when the money coming out of it changes a less-than-or-equal-to sign to a greater-than. meanwhile, beware of that terrible myth, perpetual motion. i'm also kinda concerned that 4:57 on that video might resemble 0:57.
MIT linguist noam chomsky cooked up something called deep structure. it can be applied in matters of translation. perhaps this would be a rendering of your greek, from the vocabulary of jackson browne:
some of them were angry
at the way the earth was abused
by the men who'd learned how to forge her beauty into power
and they struggled to protect her from them
only to be confused
at the magnitude of her fury in the final hour.
and from another source, loosely translated:
"the sultan came by in his red-crested fly
"expecting the victor to cheer.
"he only drew nigh to hear a last psi ..."

what's the matter
with anti-matter
our universe has none
the x-ray scatter
from cosmic splatter
reveals it's gone anon
axion chatter
theta-bar smatter
physics overdone?
but tony's natter
and folksy blatter
just silly stories rerun

ed, people only write poetry when they feel pain. keep that up and you'll wind up like disaster master, norwegian and myself.
can we start with a simpler formula, say E=mc2?
energy, mass, i have no problem with. you could multiply a speed times a mass--that'd get it moving at least. but how do you square 186,000 miles per second? i can understand a square mile, but a square second?

November 22: ANCHOR of our ANSWER
"The eyes of the LORD preserve knowledge.... That thy trust may be in the LORD, I have made known to thee this day, even to thee. Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge, that I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth, that thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that sent unto thee?" (Proverbs 22:12,19-21). "Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me" (Acts 27:25).
The anchor of our trust today
Is in God's written Word.
His prophecies now on display
Make unbelief absurd.
That we may put in Him our trust,
God gives us certainty;
His Word is like an anchor thrust,
Unmoved eternally.
That we may answer those who ask
Why we have confidence,
The Lord has given us the task
To show His evidence.
To manifest that God has spoken
To those who ask a reason,
We show His prophecies unbroken,
Completed in their season.
The written Scriptures that we hold,
Our Lord preserved unflawed.
We trust the things therein we're told,
For we believe in God.

He wrote: Brazilian women are all the proof I need.
Marry one and you'll believe in the Devil as well.

this thread flowered briefly into poetry and is worth a bump for that.
meanwhile, especially to you, illusion, and dear gobee as well: harken thee unto the original post.
and peter, you chicken, ran away, didn't you? there's a reason for the aria presented and it has everything to do with the angst of largo, whom we hope might break into writing poetry along with the best.
ever notice, when you go into church, that the guy up there on the cross is a half-naked young man and most of the people in the pews are old ladies? ever notice that, at the heart of so much life, especially advanced life, is something called sexuality, balanced and beautiful and highly successful in all of nature? and how do we wind up with a god composed of three divine male persons? something a little out of kilter there? don't argue with me about the holy ghost. most people on here don't believe in ghosts anyway, and if "it" got mary pregnant, "it" wasn't female.
not grinding the ax for feminism here, just a little balance. "bubbles" silverman was a force of nature. i was hoping ed might appreciate that.
