Hap By Thomas Hardy If but some vengeful god would call to me From up the sky, and laugh: “Thou suffering thing, Know that thy sorrow is my ecstasy, That thy love's loss is my hate's profiting!” Then would I bear it, clench myself, and die, Steeled by the sense of ire unmerited; Half-eased in that a Powerfuller than I Had willed and meted me the tears I shed. But not so. How arrives it joy lies slain, And why unblooms the best hope ever sown? —Crass Casualty obstructs the sun and rain, And dicing Time for gladness casts a moan. . . . These purblind Doomsters had as readily strown Blisses about my pilgrimage as pain.

Servants of the Vampire Sticky as treacle and grim as glass, Our lives in this desolate well At the foot of a long grey tower — An Escher tower, it goes only down. The stairs go down from here. The stairs go round, and we go round; We only rise by going down; We push the wheels that grind us small. Funnel on to the tower's peak: We must grind smaller still to rise so far down. We willingly came here, it's true. We knocked and the Doorkeeper opened; He opened our throats as we passed — But freely we came and we entered, Grey we became as we entered, Grey we went on and go still. Oh we can escape if we slip, If we fall again up the stairs. The footing is bad but it's sticky; The stairs wind around us and cling, We usually stop where we fall. It's our blood running out that holds us, Makes the ground so sticky and slick. He branded our throats but took nothing; He left the wounds open to bleed. So our blood, it runs out and it holds us, And our bones, they run dry and we grind, And we grind them to dust, not bread.
Sonnet: A Fly in Amber I see you there, Hung in crystal light, All of you caught tight; Suspended in air Like a small black star. You are a fleck of history Held in amber mystery; From your life afar In an ancient day, You have a buzzing spawn, Plaguing picnics on the lawn, Busily in the way: Was it you, so ethereal, Who flew into my cereal?

Her: You aren't being silent. That's a positive. Me: I have no hope. But I believe in living as much like a Narnian as I can even if there isn't any Narnia. being hopeless is no excuse for giving up Her: l am sure that there was a Hobbit Devotion about this. It seems to be a theme in Tolkien, too. As Tolkien said in the voice of Gandalf the Wizard, "All we have to do is decide what to do in the time that is given us." Giving up isn't a viable option.

Image of Patrick Mcnee and Diana Rigg as John Steed and Emma Peel in the 1960s British spy series The Avengers. They are standing back to back, smiling at the camera. Steed is in a black suit and carrying a furled bamboo-handled umbrella, with the handle on his shoulder. Mrs. Peel is in a fetching pine-green velour jacket. She is wearing Steed's black bowler hat, tipped at a rackish angle. It was a great show, full of style and pizzazz and fun.

THE PERFECT PROGRAMMER Lou Ellen Davis (745½) "65 Notes," January 1977 Volume 4, Number 1, Page 1 "No program is perfect," They said with a shrug. "The client is happy! What's one little bug?" But he was determined. The others went home. He dug out the flowchart, Deserted, alone. Night passed into morning. The room was cluttered With memory dumps, microfiche... "I'm close!" he muttered. Chain smoking, cold coffee, Logic, deduction... "I've got it!" he cried. "Just change one instruction!" Then change two. Then three. As year followed year, Strangers would comment, "Is that guy still here?" He died at the console Of hunger and thirst. Next day he was buried Face down, nine edge first. His wife, through her tears, Accepted his fate, Saying, "He's not really gone - He's just working late."

Half of these trendy health habits are just capitalism in yoga pants. If it needs a $40 powder or an Instagram reel to explain, odds are it’s marketing, not medicine. Eat decently, sleep, move your body, and stop giving your paycheck to people selling celery as salvation.
