  • hernesheir Most vagabonds I knowed
    Don't ever want to find the culprit
    That remains the object
    Of their long relentless quest -
    The obsession's in the chasing
    And not the apprehending -
    Its the pursuit you seek and never the arrest
    .
    from Tom Waits' Foreign Affair Nov 5, 2009

  • bilby
    I do not resemble your other lovers, my lady
    should another give you a cloud
    I give you rain
    Should he give you a lantern, I
    will give you the moon
    Should he give you a branch
    I will give you the trees
    And if another gives you a ship
    I shall give you the journey.
