Stop the Talking - by TPO

"Stop the talking!"

by TPO ** On the few occasions when I watched them on TV or read their latest rants, the persons portrayed in this video have given me nothing but indigestion and depression. I should, therefore, point out that I made this video for a purely selfish reason. I just want to tell all these folks to "shut up." **

"Apparitions" - by William Butler Yeats

W B Yeats (1865 - 1939)

"Apparitions"

BECAUSE there is safety in derision
I talked about an apparition,
I took no trouble to convince,
Or seem plausible to a man of sense.
Distrustful of thar popular eye
Whether it be bold or sly.
Fifteen apparitions have I seen;
The worst a coat upon a coat-hanger.

I have found nothing half so good
As my long-planned half solitude,
Where I can sit up half the night
With some friend that has the wit
Not to allow his looks to tell
When I am unintelligible.
Fifteen apparitions have I seen;
The worst a coat upon a coat-hanger.

When a man grows old his joy
Grows more deep day after day,
His empty heart is full at length,
But he has need of all that strength
Because of the increasing Night
That opens her mystery and fright.
Fifteen apparitions have I seen;
The worst a coat upon a coat-hanger.
