Of all crimes the worst Is to steal the glory From the great and brave, Even more accursed Than to rob the grave.

The sun was warm but the wind was chill. You know how it is with an April day. When the sun is out and the wind is still, You're one month on in the middle of May. But if you so much as dare to speak, a cloud come over the sunlit arch, And wind comes off a frozen peak, And you're two months back in the middle of March.

People who read me seem to be divided into four groups: twenty-five percent like me for the right reasons twenty-five percent like me for the wrong reasons twenty-five percent hate me for the wrong reasons twenty-five percent hate me for the right reasons. It's that last twenty-five percent that worries me.
