Re: prayer for messiah
there are some people who would disagree with you, including myself - but your sentiments are nevertheless appreciated. little time spent on this sketch, partly inspired by a recent post in which you wrote about a messiah ushering in "an eternal peace based in love and truth in this very sick world."Boss wrote:You are a beautiful man . . .
thank you, adam
Re: prayer for messiah
He's not the Messiah, he's a naughty boy.
I guess it all started for me sometime around Christmas 1967 and now, goodness me, it's.........2018 and over fifty years later.
No one ever listens to me. I might as well be a Leonard Cohen record.

Re: prayer for messiah
This messiah is, and will indeed be, very naughty, Vicomte. He is still at the gates chomping at the bit. But everyone, everything will be surprised; shocked rather. Ah, bring it all on. And nothing or no one can stop him! Ever.

Geoffrey, why does the sun 'set'? Even Rome?

Re: prayer for messiah
someone famous once said "all the truth in the world adds up to one big lie!" fact is the sun never sets, adam - unless one spends one's summer holidays at the north pole. it is this pebble, on which we cling like limpets, that rises up.Boss wrote:Geoffrey, why does the sun 'set'? Even Rome?
i know nothing whatsoever about rome, except that a famous nymphomaniac called valeria messalina once lived there.
Re: prayer for messiah
Geoffrey, I am no nincompoop; I realise the sun never 'sets', but it appears to disappear. Rome and all it's debauchery, all the hell it spread over the entire globe, including my terra australis, will disappear. But it's finer aspects, like our Latin alphabet, they will last forever - like our sun. When Rome 'sets', Capitalism, the vehicle solely designed for the rich and powerful will never reappear. Not even in a sunrise. It dies even as we speak.

well, it seems you have studied buddhism, as only a student of zen could watch something as "it appears to disappear".

quite so, dear adam. and yet, if by 'debauchery' you refer to valeria's nymphomania, we should remember that insatiable sexuality is nowadays recognised by psychotherapists as a serious illness. in other words, she couldn't help it - she just had to have it.

By debauchery I mean Rome fucked the world.

Re: prayer for messiah
Fairy tale? So why did you provide a link to Leonard's sincere reading of 'Prayer for Messiah'? He believes in messiah. You gonna question his 'fairy tale' beliefs? I believe in Leonard Cohen far and beyond your atheism.Geoffrey wrote:everyone was surprised when cinderella's glass shoe failed to disappear at midnight, but who needs logic in a fairy tale?
It is no fairy tale - messiah lives, messiah is alive right here.
