Tattoo Ideas 2

2009-09-18T14:32:25Z

Due to the lack of update yesterday I am posing two poems today :)

The cliche but wonderful

i carry your heart by e. e. cummings

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

Or for another option 3 stanzas from T.S Eliot's The Hollow Men, I love them all and am having trouble deciding, if I get one of them, which one to get :P

Between the idea
And the reality
Between the motion
And the act
Falls the Shadow

Between the conception
And the creation
Between the emotion
And the response
Falls the Shadow

Between the desire
And the spasm
Between the potency
And the existence
Between the essence
And the descent
Falls the Shadow </lj>

I am thinking of getting a literary tattoo, most likely from a poem that has struck me, but I am unsure of which one. So I am going to do a little research and by research I mean post a poem or two everyday (or most everyday) until I find one that really does resenate. I like many poems and love many lines, this isn't a search for a poem in order to just get a tattoo, this is just to sort it all out, a way to organize them.

So first ones first! The whole poem is behind the cut but the stanza with the highlighted lines I would want is outside, just so I can see it :P

Please excuse the formatting, I'm not that good with HTML :P

A Song For Saint Cecilia’s Day, 1687
John Dryden

From Harmony, from heavenly Harmony
This universal frame began:
When nature underneath a heap
Of jarring atoms lay
And could not heave her head,
The tuneful voice was heard from high,
Arise, ye more than dead!
Then cold, and hot, and moist, and dry
In order to their stations leap,
And Music’s power obey.
From Harmony, from heavenly harmony
This universal frame began:
From harmony to harmony
Through all the compass of the notes it ran,
The diapason closing full in Man.

What passion cannot Music raise and quell?
When Jubal struck the chorded shell
His listening brethren stood around,
And, wondering, on their faces fell
To worship that celestial sound.
Less than a god they thought there could not dwell
Within the hollow of that shell
That spoke so sweetly and so well.
What passion cannot Music raise and quell?

The trumpet’s loud clangour
Excites us to arms,
With shrill notes of anger
And mortal alarms.
The double double double beat
Of the thundering drum
Cries ‘Hark! the foes come;
Charge, charge, ’tis too late to retreat!’

The soft complaining flute
In dying notes discovers
The woes of hopeless lovers,
Whose dirge is whisper’d by the warbling lute.

Sharp violins proclaim
Their jealous pangs and desperation,
Fury, frantic indignation,
Depths of pains, and height of passion
For the fair disdainful dame.

But oh! what art can teach,
What human voice can reach
The sacred organ’s praise?
Notes inspiring holy love,
Notes that wing their heavenly ways
To mend the choirs above.

Orpheus could lead the savage race,
And trees unrooted left their place
Sequacious of the lyre:
But bright Cecilia raised the wonder higher:
When to her Organ vocal breath was given
An angel heard, and straight appear’d—
Mistaking Earth for Heaven.

Grand Chorus:

As from the power of sacred lays
The spheres began to move,
And sung the great Creator’s praise
To all the blest above;
So when the last and dreadful hour
This crumbling pageant shall devour,
The trumpet shall be heard on high,
The dead shall live, the living die,
And music shall untune the sky.

I want all of the grand chorus but I think its far too long for a tattoo.

Roomate Hate

2009-02-24T23:11:55Z

I don't think I have EVER met ANYONE as incredibly, disgustingly racist as my roomate. He can't see that no one thinks his shit is funny and no one wants to be around him. I had to hide in my room and use the iffy wireless because I can't sit there for one minute and listen to his stoned ass laugh at every single racial slur in Grand Turino. And he doesn't get that its a freaking movie and Clint Eastwood probably doesn't feel that way against Asian and Black people, he agrees with every single word spoken. On Oscar night, anytime an Asian person came on the screen he said "Whats that stupid ch*** doing there" He also made an "Asian face" where he pulled his eyes and made an overbite, it was so disgusting that my sweet, polite friend told him to shut up. Also, every time there was a woman over 25 on screen (save for Jen Aniston) he said "God, shes so old, whats that bitch doing there, she should just go home and die" Anytime anyone weighed more than 120 he called them "disgusting pigs that should just eat themselves to death" that they should just go "jump of a bridge".

I am seriously seriously aching for the time when we can move out and move in with our friends, whom we like, rather than this complete asshole.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Do Not go Gentle into that Good Night

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

-Dylan Thomas

Because I Could Not Stop for Death

Because I could not stop for Death,
He kindly stopped for me;
The carriage held but just ourselves
And Immortality.

We slowly drove, he knew no haste,
And I had put away
My labour, and my leisure too,
For his civility.

We passed the school where children played,
Their lessons scarcely done;
We passed the fields of gazing grain,
We passed the setting sun.

We paused before a house that seemed
A swelling of the ground;
The roof was scarcely visible,
The cornice but a mound.

Since then 'tis centuries; but each
Feels shorter than the day
I first surmised the horses' heads
Were toward eternity.

- Emily Dickinson

Her Praise

She is foremost of those that I would hear praised.
I have gone about the house, gone up and down
As a man does who has published a new book,
Or a young girl dressed out in her new gown,
And though I have turned the talk by hook or crook
Until her praise should be the uppermost theme,
A woman spoke of some new tale she had read,
A man confusedly in a half dream
As though some other name ran in his head.
She is foremost of those that I would hear praised.
I will talk no more of books or the long war
But walk by the dry thorn until I have found
Some beggar sheltering from the wind, and there
Manage the talk until her name come round.
If there be rags enough he will know her name
And be well pleased remembering it, for in the old days,
Though she had young men's praise and old men's blame,
Among the poor both old and young gave her praise.

-William Butler Yeats

Keep On Tryin’

I’ve been thinkin’ ’bout
All the times you told me
You’re so ful of doubt
You just can’t let it be
But I know
If you keep comin’ back for more
Then I’ll keep on tryin’
Keep on tryin’

And I’ve been drinkin’ now
Just a little too much
And I don’t know how
I can get in touch with you
Now there’s only one thing
For me to do, that’s to
To get home to you

And I feel so satiesfied when
I can see you smile
I want to confide in
All that is true, so i’ll
Keep on tryin’ i’m
Through with lyin’
Just like the sun above
I’ll come shinin, trough
Oh yes i’ll
Keep on tryin’, i’m
Tired of cryin’
I got to find a way
To get on home to you

I’ve been thingin’ ’bout
All the times you held me
I never heard you shout
The flow of energy was so fine
Now I think I’ll lay it on the line
And keep on tryin’
To get home to you

And I feel so satiesfied when
I can see you smile
I want to confide in
All that is true, so i’ll
Keep on tryin’ i’m
Through with lyin’
Just like the sun above
I’ll come shinin, trough
Yes I will
Oh yes i’ll
Keep on tryin’, i’m
Tired of cryin’
I got to find a way
To get on home to you

- Poco

"Rain"

It's hard to listen to a hard hard heart
Beating close to mine
Pounding up against the stone and steel
Walls that I won't climb
Sometimes a hurt is so deep deep deep
You think that you're gonna drown
Sometimes all I can do is weep weep weep
With all this rain falling down

Strange how hard it rains now
Rows and rows of big dark clouds
When I'm holding on underneath this shroud
Rain

Its hard to know when to give up the fight
Two things you want will just never be right
Its never rained like it has to night before
Now I don't wanna beg you baby
For something maybe you could never give
I'm not looking for the rest of your life
I just want another chance to live

Strange how hard it rains now
Rows and rows of big dark clouds
When I'm holding on underneath this shroud
Rain

Strange how hard it rains now
Rows and rows of big dark clouds
When I'm holding on underneath this shroud
Rain

Strange how hard it rains now
Rows and rows of big dark clouds
When I'm still alive underneath this shroud
Rain Rain Rain

-Patty Griffin

Bring on the Wonder

I can't see the stars anymore living here
Let's go to the hills where the outlines are clear

Bring on the wonder
Bring on the song
I pushed you down deep in my soul for too long

I fell through the cracks at the end of our street
Let's go to the beach, get the sand through our feet

Bring on the wonder
Bring on the song
I pushed you down deep in my soul for too long

Bring on the wonder
We got it all wrong
We pushed you down deep in our souls for too long

I don't have the time for a drink from the cup
Let's rest for a while 'til our souls catch us up

Bring on the wonder
Bring on the song
I pushed you down deep in my soul for too long

Bring on the wonder
We got it all wrong
We pushed you down deep in our souls, so hang on

Bring on the wonder
Bring on the song
I pushed you down deep in my soul for too long.

I can't see the stars anymore living here
Let's go to the hills where the outlines are clear

-Susan Enan

I Will Love You

Til my body is dust
'til my soul is no more
I will love you, love you
'Til the sun starts to cry
and the moon turns to rust
I will love you, love you

Chorus:
But I need to know - will you stay for all
time...forever and a day
Then I'll give my heart 'til the end of all
time...forever and a day

(short instrumental)
Chorus

'Til the storms fill my eyes
and we touch the last time
I will love you, love you
I will love you, love you...

New Name

2007-11-14T17:58:21Z

Ok y'all (well the like, 3 people that read this) I want/need a new name.

I really don't want to be wittlepanther any more mainly because I hate the name. So I am asking you, my dear and faithful friends to suggest one.

It can be related to me in some way, Doctor Who, Firefly, any of my interests, or something completely random, I just want a new name but I lack any form of creativity in that area :(

Thank you for you help!

Back From Vacation!

2007-08-31T02:21:43Z

I am basically the luckiest person in the world.

I just got back from a fantastic vacation with pretty much the worlds most perfect guy to what is possibly the wolds most beautiful country. I had the best two and a half weeks, heck, the best time of my life. The man the made that all happen, Anthony (aftershokk) is, I believe, the love of my life. He makes me the happiest I have ever been.

Montenegro is awe-inspiring. The coastline is unbelievable, and the mountains are breathtaking. The history of the place is almost too much for me too handle, not being used to being able to walk in cities dating back to before Christ, enter buildings that have stood for hundreds of years and touch stones that are thousands of years old.

I would gladly return in an instant, even with the heat and risk of sunburn :P

There will be a picture post coming up soon when I have gone through them all.

Using my Jaylee love icon because I have no generic love ones :P

I've gotten into icon making. I'm doing each of the episodes, I've just about done Father's Day but I wanted to start posting them. There are only a few for the first 2 episodes because I couldn't really find many pics for Rose and didn't like how any of the EotW pics looked. Later episodes have many many more so don't worry :P

Anthony, you can't look at these because you haven't seen the episodes yet :P

Doctor Who and Simon Pegg

2007-06-25T04:23:13Z

I was recently watching Simon Pegg's series "Spaced" and I noticed some very clear connections between it and Doctor Who.

First thing first, Simon Pegg guest-starred as "The Editor" on the episode The Long Game in series 1 of New Who.

His costar on Spaced, Jessica Hynes (nee Stevenson) appeared on the episodes Human Nature and Family of Blood.

Both John Simm and Mark Gatiss appeared on an episode of Spaced entitled Gone.

And Claire Rushbrook (who appeared on DW as Ida Scott in the episodes The Impossible Planet and The Satan Pit) played a minor character on a Spaced episode entitled Art.

There is also a "Police Public Call Box" sign above Simon's boss's door at the comic shop where he works. And one episode features a dance party in which Billie Piper's song "Because We Want To" is played.

And as an added bonus Penelope Wilton (Harriet Jones) played Simon's mum in Shaun of the Dead.

Anthony

2007-05-21T19:37:12Z

I've found love again, and it's name is Anthony (Tony for short).

He lives and works in Montenegro for the time being.

He is kind, generous, full of hearts and kittens.

He is mature, gallant, a giant nerd, and all mine.

He makes me happier than I have been in a looooooong time.

He cared for me before he even met me in person, and has loved me since he did.

In two months time he is flying me to Montenegro to spend time with him.

In October he will be back home and my heart will find completeness.

I'm in love and it's lovely.

You are the fifth Doctor! Probably the kindest and most outwardly agreeable, you're very well liked by all. You have an odd sense of what accesorization. You're also very sporty, and this reflects in your style of dress. Be wary of attempting to become a mentor figure. It might end badly.

You're Lolita!

by Vladimir Nabokov

Considered by most to be depraved and immoral, you are obsessed with
sex. What really tantalizes you is that which deviates from societal standards in every
way, though you admit that this probably isn't the best and you're not sure what causes
this desire. Nonetheless, you've done some pretty nefarious things in your life, and
probably gotten caught for them. The names have been changed, but the problems are real.

Sonnet XVII

I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way

than this: where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.
