So now I'm totally confused. Who wrote:
BATHED in war’s perfume—delicate flag!And who wrote:
(Should the days needing armies, needing fleets, come again,)
O to hear you call the sailors and the soldiers! flag like a beautiful woman!
O to hear the tramp, tramp, of a million answering men!
O the ships they arm with joy!
O to see you leap and beckon from the tall masts of ships!
O to see you peering down on the sailors on the decks!
Flag like the eyes of women.
For the moment, though, the sun is shining, the birds are singing, U2 is in heavy rotation on Airtunes*, and there's an empty seat on the other side of the wall with my name on it.
Enjoy the weekend, wherever you are. If you're in the US, don't forget that our idiot government decided to make Daylight Savings time start a month early -- tonight Saturday night / Sunday morning. Spring forward for great justice!
"Flag like the eyes of women" or "Spring forward for great justice!"
Sorry Walt, but this time Wil wins. Make it so, beeyatch!
If anyone knows Wil, tell him he won and can add this limited edition badge to his blog.
