Who uttered these apropos comments about me? They will be sued with libel! La!
Between memory and reality there are awkward discrepancies…
I am not eccentric. It’s just that I am more alive than most people. I am an unpopular electric eel set in a pond of catfish.
Word spread because word will spread. Stories and secrets fight, stories win, shed new secrets, which new stories fight, and on….I WILL SEND <A CHECK FOR $5 TO ANYONE WHO CAN NAME THESE VERBOSE WRITERS>

When Jacques D’Amboise’s birthday is – here is a link http://www.care2.com/ecards/ for everyone to send him a free card celebrating our love for him and his accomplishments in dance education and humanitarianism in ballet education-also his wit, intelligence and sense of humor.

Shakespeare Sonnet 3
Somethings things which outwardly do not have to do with one another, are connected, upon reflection.
Look in thy glass and tell the face thou viewest
Now is the time that face should form another;
Whose fresh repair if now thou not renewest,
Thou dost beguile the world, unbless some mother.
For where is she so fair whose uneared womb
Disdains the tillage of thy husbandry?
Or who is he so fond will be the tomb
Of his self-love, to stop posterity?
Thou art thy mother’s glass and she in thee
Calls back the lovely April of her prime;
So thou through windows of thine age shalt see,
Despite of wrinkles, this thy golden time.
But if thou live, remembered not to be,
Die single and thine image dies with thee.
mysylph
