    Gerontion, by T.S. Eliot

    My words of caution would be that you are the spectator to which the poem should speak and thus the danger becomes that in the fear of not understanding you impose an interpretation upon the poem that is understandable to you (i.e. you speak to the poem rather than the other way around). So...

    Thanks:) Today is quite cold really at about 80-85 with a chance of rain and the wind was not as bad as expected so it looks like our state will escape. However, the officail death toll in Victoria (the adjacent state) is over 100 and they still haven't got to some places yet. The fires...

    Sad News Today the hot whether went from annoying to sad with 700 homes destroyed and estimates up to 100 dead from bush fires in the state next to ours. There are 40 fires burning in our state and tomorrow is supposed to be d-day for us. While this is not a large disaster by world standards...

At the beginning of January they said the weather will be humid, hot and over 35 degrees C (you do the translation) until the 9th of Feburary and you know what it has been (next few weeks dont look much better). I...

    We are yet to see. Of course that would mean that the star wars fans would have to venture from their rooms into the outside world and I dont see that happening ;)

    survived by going to a star wars convention for my nephews birthday. That should let you know how hot it is considering I dont really like star wars. Fires are gone from near us to so that is good.

    Hot Very hot

    Well guys the newspaper headline over here today is "Sydney hottest place on earth". A bit of an overstatement perhaps but it will be 110 up to 115 in some places. Anyways the scary bit was that at 9.00 last night I went to walk the dog and could not breath due to the smoke. Our house backs onto...

    Required reading?

    I am going to suggest something different. I just brought 100 classic books for my DS and read through "The Importance of being Earnest". I love this book and it is on of the few books I can read over and over again. It sounds like and uses the setting of a romance but it is by no means a...

    Christian Video Gaming -- the muse thread.

    I remain somewhat unconvinced (I mean FF games are hardly spiritually enlightening, it is really just a story telling mechanic, and they are hardly mainstream in the west). The other thing of course is not only are they possible but are they a good idea. But I am prepared to suspend disbelief...

    Christian Video Gaming -- the muse thread.

    First off let me say I love the idea of forshadowing, indeed I think it is really the only viable means of having a good christian game. Second let me say i am really enjoying this conversation and hope it leads somewhere good. I can see how this would be a really interesting thesis topic...

    Christian Video Gaming -- the muse thread.

    Yeppers I agree, this is a similar point to one Tek and I made in the Christian video game conference thread a while back - hence the fact I suggested indie Christian influenced games rather than Christian games. The point I think that was made in the previous thread was something along the...

    Make a Sketch for Me?

    I have mine picked out. I am getting a rhinoceros on my arm. It is an illustration from about 1500-1600 that my wife picked out and it looks great. I just have to pluck up the courage to go through the pain.

    Can I get the spiritual e-books in internet?

    Hi William, Nice to meet you. In terms of e-books I am sure there is alot out there but my experience with e-books is that, beside the out of copyright books (e.g. Pilgrims Progress) and the bible, most are fairly lame. On the side I had to present a paper at a Spirituality and Psychology...

    Christian Video Gaming -- the muse thread.

    I really like what you have written here and I especially agree with the 'Christian' lable and its frequently decremental effects. Indeed it kind of brings out my cynical side in that I am not so sure that it is an unattended side effect that only parents and idealists buy the games. If you are...

    Significance of a name

    Ok I finally got around to asking my old man. He said he is not sure but said you might want to check whether there is a distinction between when they are used, i.e. is one name used by the narrator with and one by others. He said he wasn't sure as he doesn't have a lot to do with John. He did...
