Socrates' Poison
His temper was evenly spread before courtly crowd,
Who bade for blood of infidel unbowed,
Strange ethereal calm settled on him condemned,
To drink deep draughts for words as yet unpenned.
And die he did, wisdom incarnate eternal is he?
Whose mind is set loose and spirt split free,
From mortal longings in bodies despair,
To greater things and places than Plato's lair.
So why then does your poison flood my veins?,
It has reached my heart and soul; and ingrained
These eyes to ask questions of wherefore and why,
Until all around me is just follies' dead lie.
Courage I ask for, to stop in his tracks,
Purge this hemlock whose burden on backs,
Cripples and squeezes joy's journey alighting,
Into dialogues and arguments, all endless fighting.
Time to stand and stare at things themselves,
Perhaps to dream and imagine of woodland elves,
This thing i ask to drink from fern soaked brooks,
And leave behind all poisoned athenian books.

When it comes to baby shower decorations, you can never go wrong with balloons, and if there are children at the shower, you can
send the extras home with them. Pheasants, berries and embossed intricate designs represent a sampling of the inexpensive Thanksgiving table
decor you can find at Cost Plus. There are many other wall mirrors that can enhance the
decor of a room but the high quality Venetian mirrors are known to be one of the prettiest wall mirrors for home decor.

Just one final thing you can do is to buy or make some wedding favors, activity books, and wedding adornments for the young children.
Purple wedding reception centerpieces or versions
