    "But do you really, seriously, Major Scobie," Dr. Sykes asked, "believe in hell?"
    "Oh, yes, I do."
    "In flames and torment?"
    "Perhaps not quite that. They tell us it may be a permanent sense of loss."
    "That sort of hell wouldn't worry me," Fellowes said.
    "Perhaps you've never lost anything of importance," Scobie said.

    four hands between us
    four feet as well, four eyes, but
    one delicate heart

    oops that is still not quite right...should have used your last line maz, sorry bout that....


    how can I do more?
    you can hope, that's eternal
    but be realistic
    HTML Code:
    four hands between us
    four feet as well, four eyes, but
    one delicate hear
    hey, is this a 'cow's heart'--one between 4 legs?

    Howz this:
    four hands between us
    four feet as well, four eyes, and
    two noses four lips!

    you will need two hands
    it's the heart of a lion-heart
    needs big span to stay.

    hold it together
    use skill and glue if need be
    but still flaws will show
    "It's so mysterious, the land of tears."

    No, you don't get it - mine is 2 humans with one heart; but that's ok, I don't get yours, either....talk about confusion between the sexes.....

    but still flaws will show
    once this fragile life is damaged
    cruely doomed adrift
    "It's so mysterious, the land of tears."

    cruelly doomed adrift
    stars crawl past composite raft
    settlers seek new worlds.

    new galaxies wait

    new galaxies wait
    beyond blue veiled ebony
    where stars are not guides

    where stars are not guides
    reason rules the vast heavens
    and kings intervene

    eunuchs on the other hand
    spin tales like sailors.
