Sailing On

“When the green field comes off like a lid
Revealing what was much better hid,
Unpleasant;
And look! Behind, without a sound
The woods have come up and are standing round
In deadly crescent.
And the bolt is sliding in its groove,
Outside the window is the black remover’s van,
And now with sudden, swift emergence
Come the women in dark glasses, the hump-backed surgeons
And the scissor-man.”

- W.H. Auden The Witnesses

I saw this in Watership Down, at the beginning of a chapter. It caught my eye, and I thought I'd post it. I'm also going to post the link to my Tumblr page. It's a really cool website. You guys should join.

Deleted my last two blog posts. Just meaningless clutter (which is hard among the 155 posts I have up at the moment).

Anyway. I'm in deep shit at the moment. Today I had all this work piled on me. In History I was told we have to write an essay, and as I was catching up on notes from before I didn't have time to do the extra page which I now also have to do tonight... And in English I found out that the optional essay for over the holidays is now compulsory, and it, like everything else, is due tomorrow. Either I do half now and half in study tomorrow, or half in study and make up excuses for the other. Somehow I think the latter option is the predominant one.

Crap, got to go. A messy kitchen awaits.
