“I confess I do not believe in time. I like to fold my magic carpet, after use, in such a way as to superimpose one part of the pattern upon another. Let visitors trip. And the highest enjoyment of timelessness―in a landscape selected at random―is when I stand among rare butterflies and their food plants.- nabokov

I would uncork the campaign now, except that i am baptist, and can't drink, and it has too much salt, but this is a cool and groovy thing that i hit this mile mark. Joy bells
ASHOKAN FAREWELL (LYRIC VERSION)
The sun is sinking low in the sky above Ashokan.
The pines and the willows know soon we will part.
There’s a whisper in the wind of promises unspoken,
And a love that will always remain in my heart.
The pines and the willows know soon we will part.
There’s a whisper in the wind of promises unspoken,
And a love that will always remain in my heart.
My thoughts will return to the sound of your laughter,
The magic of moving as one,
And a time we’ll remember long ever after
The moonlight and music and dancing are done.
The magic of moving as one,
And a time we’ll remember long ever after
The moonlight and music and dancing are done.
Will we climb the hills once more?
Will we walk the woods together?
Will I feel you holding me close once again?
Will every song we’ve sung stay with us forever?
Will you dance in my dreams or my arms until then?
Will we walk the woods together?
Will I feel you holding me close once again?
Will every song we’ve sung stay with us forever?
Will you dance in my dreams or my arms until then?
Under the moon the mountains lie sleeping
Over the lake the stars shine.
They wonder if you and I will be keeping
The magic and music, or leave them behind.
Over the lake the stars shine.
They wonder if you and I will be keeping
The magic and music, or leave them behind.
🕸🕷a View of Lincoln - parody of an article from wikipedia
Abraham Lin☭oln (February 12, 1809 – April 15, 1865) was an Ameri☭an statesman and lawyer who served as the
16th president of
the United States from Mar☭h 1861 until his
assassination in April 1865. Lin☭oln led the nation through the Ameri☭an ☭ivil War, its
bloodiest war and its greatest moral, ☭onstitutional, and politi☭al ☭risis.[2][3] He preserved the Union, abolished slavery, strengthened the federal
government, and modernized the U.S. e☭onomy.
Born in Kentu☭ky, Lin☭oln grew up on the frontier in a poor family. Self-edu☭ated, he be☭ame a lawyer, Whig Party leader, Illinois state legislator and ☭ongressman. In 1849, he left government to
resume his law pra☭ti☭e, but angered by the Kansas–Nebraska A☭t's opening of
the prairie lands to slavery, reentered politi☭s in 1854. He be☭ame a leader in the new Republi☭an Party and
gained national attention in the 1858 debates against
national Demo☭rati☭ leader Stephen Douglas in the U.S
Senate ☭ampaign in
Illinois. He then ran for President in 1860, sweeping the North and
winning. Southern pro-slavery elements took his win as proof that the North was
reje☭ting the ☭onstitutional rights of Southern states
to pra☭ti☭e slavery. They began the pro☭ess of se☭eding from the union. To se☭ure its independen☭e, the new ☭onfederate States of Ameri☭a fired on Fort Sumter, one of the few U.S. forts in the
South. Lin☭oln ☭alled up volunteers and militia to suppress
the rebellion and restore the Union.
As the leader of the moderate fa☭tion of the Republi☭an Party, Lin☭oln ☭onfronted Radi☭al Republi☭ans, who demanded
harsher treatment of the South; War Demo☭rats, who rallied a large fa☭tion of former opponents into his ☭amp; anti-war Demo☭rats (☭alled ☭opperheads), who despised him; and irre☭on☭ilable se☭essionists, who plotted his assassination. Lin☭oln fought the fa☭tions by pitting them against ea☭h other, by ☭arefully distributing politi☭al patronage, and by appealing to the Ameri☭an people.[4]:65–87 His Gettysburg Address be☭ame an i☭oni☭ ☭all for nationalism, republi☭anism, equal rights, liberty, and demo☭ra☭y. He suspended habeas ☭orpus, and he averted British intervention
by defusing the Trent Affair. Lin☭oln ☭losely supervised the war effort, in☭luding the sele☭tion of generals and the naval blo☭kade that shut down the South's trade. As
the war progressed, he maneuvered to end slavery, issuing the Eman☭ipation Pro☭lamation of
1863; ordering the Army to prote☭t es☭aped slaves, en☭ouraging border
states to outlaw slavery, and pushing through ☭ongress the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States ☭onstitution, whi☭h outlawed slavery a☭ross the ☭ountry.
Lin☭oln managed his
own re-ele☭tion ☭ampaign. He
sought to re☭on☭ile his damaged nation by avoiding retribution
against the se☭essionists. A few days
after the Battle of
Appomattox ☭ourt House, he was shot by John Wilkes Booth, an a☭tor and ☭onfederate sympathizer, on April 14, 1865, and
died the following day. Abraham Lin☭oln is remembered as the United States' martyr
hero. He is ☭onsistently ranked both by s☭holars[5] and the publi☭[6] as among the greatest U.S. presidents.
