| Epigraph (Motto/Zitat) |
Die Informationen stammen von der englischen "Wissenswertes"-Seite. Ändern, um den Eintrag der eigenen Sprache anzupassen. No, I'll not, carrion comfort, Despair,
not feast on thee;
Not untwist - slack they may be -
these last strands of man
In me or, most weary, cry, I can no
more. I can;
Can something, hope, wish day come,
not choose not to be.
Gerald Manley Hopkins

Die Informationen stammen von der englischen "Wissenswertes"-Seite. Ändern, um den Eintrag der eigenen Sprache anzupassen. I was the only boy, or girl either, in the public school in the town of Dugton, Claxford County, Alabama, whose father had ever got killed in the middle of the night standing up in the front of his wagon to piss on the hindquarters of one of a span of mules and, being drunk, pitching forward on his head, still hanging onto his dong, and hitting the pike in such a position and condition that both the left front and left rear wheels of the wagon rolled, with perfect precision, over his unconscious neck, his having passed out being, no doubt, the reason he took the fatal plunge in the first place. | |

In the course of my wanderings, I fell into the fantasy that someday- perhaps on the mission to put the ashes of Pore Ole Perk in the ground, unmarked, but not too unhandy to the spot where Ma lay - I would be accompanied by Ephraim, and I could point out to him all the spots that I had dreamed of pointing out to him.
