“When rowan leaves are dank and rusting And rowan berries red as blood, When in my palm the hangman's thrusting The final nail with bony thud, When, over the foul flooding river, Upon the wet grey height, I toss Before my land's grim looks, and shiver As I swing here upon the cross, Then, through the blood and weeping, stretches My dying sight to space remote; I see upon the river's reaches Christ sailing to me in a boat.” LooksChristSpaceBloodLandDyingRedRiversCrossesSightFinalsBoatHeightSwingsWetNailsSailingGreyPalmsWeepingFoulGrimTossBerriesShiverFloodingHangmanDank Author:Alexander Blok

“I am almost certain fishermen posess a peculiar bend to their makeup. Fisherman are optimists, and the fish in the future is always preferable to the fish at hand. Even the best fishermen catch fish only a small percentage of the time, which means we persevere in a sport that features failure as its main ingredient. Truly great days, when the fish hammer the fly as soon as it lands on the water are rare.” MeanHandsCertainSportsWaterSeaLandRiversFishesBoatFeaturesLakesFishingMakeupIngredientsPeculiarOptimistHammersPercentagesPersevereFishermanGreat Day Author:Joseph Monninger
