The horrid crags, by toppling convent crown'd,
The cork-trees hoar that clothe the shaggy steep,
The mountain-moss by scorching skies imbrown'd,
The sunken glen, whose sunless shrubs must weep,
The tender azure of the unruffled deep,
The orange tints that gild the greenest bough,
The torrents that from cliff to valley leap,
The vine on high, the willow branch below,
Mix'd in one mighty scene, with varied beauty glow.



Then slowly climb the many-winding way,
And frequent turn to linger as you go,
From loftier rocks new loveliness survey,
And rest ye at 'Our Lady's house of woe;'
Where frugal monks their little relics show,
And sundry legends to the stranger tell:
Here impious men have punish'd been, and lo!
Deep in yon cave Honorious long did dwell,
In hope to merit Heaven by making earth a Hell.

Guantánamo - #reply-19070531 .... i knew somewhere i'd posted the Breckenridge quote, found it

Hey, we're not on Major Drugs any more .... i started this thread there, now we're on a section called 'Politics/Government, etc:' ...... what the hell is 'etc:' supposed to mean? ..... oh, probably Screamin an Yellin, given the other two it's stuck onto

But isn't that just the perfect quote from don FACR, under all circumstances past and present -

' I ask that my right to express myself be respected without restraint. '
