WELKIN |
The sky; heaven; the firmament We dont use this much nowadaysdictionaries usually tag it as archaic or literaryexcept in the set phrase make the welkin ring, meaning to make a very loud sound. What supposedly rings in this situation is the vault of heaven, the bowl of the sky. In older cosmology this was thought to be one of a set of real crystal spheres that enclosed the Earth, to which the planets and stars were attached, so it would have been capable of ringing like a bell if you made enough noise. The word comes from the Old English wolcen, a cloud, related to the Dutch wolk and German Wolke. Very early on, for example in the epic poem Beowulf of about the eighth century AD, the phrase under wolcen meant under the sky or under heaven (the bard used the plural, wolcnum, but its the same word). Ever since, it has had a strong literary or poetic connection. It appears often in Shakespeare and also in Chaucers Canterbury Tales: This day in mirth and revel to dispend, / Till on the welkin shone the starres bright. In 1739, a book with the title Hymns and Sacred Poems introduced one for Christmas written by Charles Wesley that began: Hark! how all the welkin rings, / Glory to the King of kings. If that seems a little familiar, it is because 15 years later it reappeared as Hark! the herald-angels sing / Glory to the new born king. |

28 29 October 2004 The Greatest. ALI. Clay comes out to meet Liston And Liston starts to retreat If Liston goes back any further He'll end up in a ringside seat. Clay swings with a left, Clay swings with a right, Look at young Cassius Carry the fight. Liston keeps backing But there's not enough room It's a matter of time. There, Clay lowers the boom. Now Clay swings with a right, What a beautiful swing, And the punch raises the bear, Clear out of the ring. Liston is still rising And the ref wears a frown, For he can't start counting, Till Sonny comes down. Now Liston disappears from view. The crowd is getting frantic, But our radar stations have picked him up. He's somewhere over the Atlantic. Who would have thought When they came to the fight That they'd witness the launching Of a human satellite? Yes, the crowd did not dream When they laid down their money That they would see A total eclipse of the Sonny! I am the greatest! Cassius Clay before the first Liston-bout\ 29 5 November 2004 Would you like some Quarks with your pancakes? 30 12 November 2003

36 24 December 2003 I'm the pancake man, And I do, when I can, Eat pancakes by the score; I bake them brown, And swallow them down, And loudly call for more. I'll lay my stakes That a million cakes I can eat between two naps; Then call for more, A million and four, Or a million and five, perhaps. It makes me fat, And more than that, I'm jolly through and through; I've been known to laugh For a year and a half,___ Or why not call it two Oh, I long for a cake As big as they make,___ Say, fifty townships wide; I would handle it quite At a single bite And stow it away inside. ___John Edward Everett 37 31 December 2003

Hanoi Kerry at his "moment of glory."
What a piece of ******
The media WILL NOT mention this book.
I will!
The cover is a insult to Iwo Jima vets,
then it gets worse towards Viet Nam vets.
I was there the same time Hanoi Kerry was.
I served on a Destroyer which supplied PBR's
and gave gunfire support in North AND South Viet Nam.
My ship may have even supplied Hanoi Kerry's boat.
I VOW I will do everything I LEGALLY can
to keep this traitor from being elected.
I owe it to those who gave their all.

OK, so I'm really really late! We have had beautiful sunshine today, and snow is melting fast.
Looks like spring is here to stay. Did you get your predicted bad weather?

Good afternoon everyone!! I thought I heard giggling as I walked up to the front door.....what darling "pixies" hiding in the Canteen gardens!
Thanks for bringing these cuties along today Military men and Canteen guyz. Nothing like the smiles and laughter of children to lighten the heart.
To our troops, veterans, and military family members, and to our allies who stand with us,
THANK YOU!
I'm not sure how long I'll get to stay.....hubby saaaaaid he'd take me out for supper tonight but I'm still waiting for him to come in for a shower. I think he fiiiiiinally realized he forgot my birthday last week and wants to make up for it. hehe.
Any-hoo, I'm waaaay behind on things around here and gonna try to catch up a bit while the opportunity is here.
I hope everyone has had a fabulous day and that all are well.

Aaaaw, thanks for the b-day wishes.

I didn't say anything about it here last week because ..... well, the Canteen is about our military folks. They're the important ones and the focus of this wonderful site. :-)
The way I look at it, I woke up that day and that was good enough for me. ROTFLOL!
