Assume the port of Mars; and at his heels,
Leash'd in like hounds, should famine, sword and fire
Crouch for employment. But pardon, and gentles all,
The flat unraised spirits that have dared
On this unworthy scaffold to bring forth
So great an object: can this cockpit hold
The vasty fields of France? or may we cram
Within this wooden O the very casques
That did affright the air at Agincourt?
Marry, the answer may surprise you!

If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,--
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Star Wars characters, reimagined
As Winnie the Pooh, and friends

I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made;
Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee,
You won't believe what's at number seven

And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,
Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;
There midnight’s all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
And 35 things which only someone born in Ireland will know

I will arise and go now, for always night and day
I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,
I hear it in the deep heart’s core, And That's Okay.

I am not resigned to the shutting away of loving hearts in the hard ground.
So it is, and so it will be, for so it has been, time out of mind:
Into the darkness they go, the wise and the lovely. Crowned
With lilies and with laurel they go; And That's Okay.

Lovers and thinkers, into the earth with you.
Be one with the dull, the indiscriminate dust.
A fragment of what you felt, of what you knew,
A formula, a phrase remains, 12 stores to shop at when you break up with Ikea

The answers quick and keen, Dublin's 10 best burgers, the laughter, the love,—
They are gone. They are gone to feed the roses. Elegant and curled
Is the blossom. Fragrant is the blossom. I know. But I do not approve.
More precious was the light in your eyes than all the roses in the world, you won't believe the rose at number 31.

Down, down, down into the darkness of the grave
Gently they go, the beautiful, the tender, the kind;
Quietly they go, the intelligent, the witty, the brave.
I know. But I do not approve. And I am not resigned.

After the uprising of the 17th of June
This secretary had leaflets distributed in the Stalinallee
Stating that the people
Had forfeited the confidence of the government
And could win it back only
By redoubled efforts. Here's why it would be
Easier for the government
To dissolve the people
And elect another--
And why that's okay

Over my head, I see the bronze butterfly,
Asleep on the black trunk,
Blowing like a leaf in green shadow.
Down the ravine behind the empty house,
The cowbells follow one another
Into the distances of the afternoon.
To my right,
In a field of sunlight between two pines,
The droppings of last year’s horses
Blaze up into golden stones.
I lean back, as the evening darkens and comes on.
A chicken hawk floats over, looking for home.

Stately, Plump Buck Mulligan Came From The Stairhead, And You Won't Believe What He Was Bearing Or What Lay Crossed

He gazed up at the enormous face. Forty years it had taken him to learn what kind of smile was hidden beneath the dark moustache. O cruel, needless misunderstanding! O stubborn, self-willed exile from the loving breast! Two gin-scented tears trickled down the sides of his nose. But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. Big Brother just won the Internet.

“Everyone strives after the law,” says the man, “so how is that in these many years no one except me has requested entry?” The gatekeeper sees that the man is already dying and, in order to reach his diminishing sense of hearing, he shouts at him, "The Internet Is Freaking Over This Cat Who Loves Putting Her Paws In The Air."

The year’s at the spring,
And day’s at the morn;

And that's okay

To-day we have How Many Parts Can You Name?

We shall have The One Weird Thing You Should Do Every Time You Fire.
But to-day,

Are the cutest things you will EVER see,
And to-day we have How Many Parts Can You Name.

The mystery of the balances is there

Princess Volupine extends
A meagre, blue-nailed, phthisic hand
To climb the waterstair. Lights, lights,
She entertains Sir Ferdinand

Klein. Who clipped the lion’s wings
And flea’d his rump and pared his claws?
Thought Burbank, meditating on
Time’s ruins, and the seven Disney princesses reimagined as anti-semitic caricatures.

WEBSTER was much possessed by death
And saw the skull beneath the skin;
And breastless creatures under ground
Leaned backward with a lipless grin.

Daffodil bulbs instead of balls 5
Stared from the sockets of the eyes!
He knew that thought clings round dead limbs
Tightening its lusts and luxuries.

Donne, I suppose, was such another
Who found no substitute for sense;
To seize and clutch and penetrate,
Expert beyond experience,

He knew the anguish of the marrow
The ague of the skeleton;
No contact possible to flesh
Allayed the fever of the bone.

Grishkin is nice: her Russian eye
Is underlined for emphasis;
Uncorseted, her friendly bust
Gives promise of pneumatic bliss. 20

The couched Brazilian jaguar
Compels the scampering marmoset
With subtle effluence of cat;
Grishkin has a maisonette;

The sleek Brazilian jaguar
Does not in its arboreal gloom
Distil so rank a feline smell
As Grishkin in a drawing-room.

And even the Abstract Entities
Circumambulate her charm;
But our lot crawls between dry ribs
To keep our metaphysics warm.

Sleater-Kinney: “Our music has typically appealed to outsiders, and that’s okay for us. We like those people”

Meikayla Moore scored a hat-trick of own goals – but she will not let it define her

Looked up the Washington Post fashion column that Martha-Ann Alito is still pissed off about, nearly 20 years later.

Martha-Ann Alito was not dressed like the quintessential Manhattan mother proud that she and her daughter wear the same size True Religion jeans. She did not look like a Los Angeles mother who does her carpooling in a Juicy Couture sweatsuit. And she did not have the stereotypical style of a Washington power wife with her St. John Knits suit, unflappable demeanor, unmussable hair, and ability to nod admiringly at her husband's every word and look relentlessly engaged by the most long-winded droning.

And that's okay. Her clothes were more Redbook than Vogue. More main floor than designer salon. In her red suit with its black trim -- so Kasper, so Albert Nipon -- she looked average.
