“The Men of Earth came to Mars. They came because they were afraid or unafraid, because they were happy or unhappy, because they felt like Pilgrims or did not feel like Pilgrims. There was a reason for each man. They were leaving bad wives or bad towns; they were coming to find something or leave something or get something, to dig up something or bury something or leave something alone. They were coming with small dreams or large dreams or none at all...it was not unusual that the first men were few. The numbers grew steadily in proportion to the census of Earth Men already on Mars. There was comfort in numbers. But the first Lonely Ones had to stand by themselves...”
Ray Bradbury, The Martian Chronicles

Btw , friend also Candian just posted this excellent performance by Leonard Cohen on another thread what a great thing to see him perform again & great musical back up , they're giving him the full Madison Square Garden treatment in London .

wow , am enjoying this now , he really still swings a hefty literary bat & life has obviously treated Leonard well he's not missd a beat, you guys have to think him a total national treasure . Viva Canada , there are thinking humans to the north ;o)
