O Fortuna

This is a translation of Orff's O Fortuna. I was listening to ot today and while the lyrics are very beautiful in Latin they mean alot more in English! Enjoy...


O Fortuna

O Fortune, like the moon of ever changing state, you are always waxing or waning; hateful life now is brutal, now pampers our feelings with its game; poverty, power, it melts them like ice.

Fate, savage and empty, you are a turning wheel, your position is uncertain, your favour is idle and always likely to disappear; covered in shadows and veiled you bear upon me too; now my back is naked through the sport of your wickedness.

The chance of prosperity and of virtue is not now mine; whether willing or not, a man is always liable for Fortune's service. At this hour without delay touch the strings! Because through luck she lays low the brave, all join with me in lamentation!

Riding Giants

A photo I found from a new surfing documentry called "Riding Giants". The size of that wave just goes to show how insignificant we are in the scheme of things!

Funny the things you see...

Taken at the Paddys day parade a couple of years ago. Twas funny at the time. Three birds in line for the portaloo: ) (Yes I am easily amused)

Clare!

A colage of photos from Clare made by none other than Lorraine(who else?) Ah fun times: ) See ye all again next year! Same bat-time same bat-channel! (Oh the nerdy shame)

Noticing a Theme????

This is one of my first ventures into the difficult art of photo
editing. With much help from Astrophella(lets not lie she did most of it) we managed to create this, during the Moulin Ruoge period.(hey Pacasso had a blue grey and red period, why can't we??)

Brilliance of the Moon

Thank you Lorraine, this is beautiful: )

Love according to Futurama

It's all so complicated with the flowers and the romance and the lies upon lies!!!


Oh so true Dr Zoidburg: )
