Theos-Talk Archives (August 2004 Message tt00728)

Hi Adelasie! Haven't heard from you in a while. Are you still keeping up with the Bn-Study list too? Hope all is well with you.

I guess Andrew is drinking tonight .... (again). As an old soldier from the sea with a degree in English literature myself, I have to sympathize some with Andy.

"For I have known them all already, known them all --
Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,
I have measured out my life with coffee spoons;
I know the voices dying with a dying fall
Beneath the music from a farther room.
So how shall I presume?"

--T.S. Eliot - The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock


regards,

Bill
