Is love a fancy, or a feeling? No.
It is immortal as immaculate Truth,
'Tis not a blossom shed as soon as youth,
Drops from the stem of life--for it will grow,
In barren regions, where no waters flow,
Nor rays of promise cheats the pensive gloom.
A darkling fire, faint hovering o'er a tomb,
That but itself and darkness nought doth show,
It is my love's being yet it cannot die,
Nor will it change, though all be changed beside;
Though fairest beauty be no longer fair,
Though vows be false, and faith itself deny,
Though sharp enjoyment be a suicide,
And hope a spectre in a ruin bare.

Colin Powell and Cheese cake

Colin Powell is coming to Roy Thompson Hall on Wednesday to talk about Canadian American relations. The guest speaker (isn't Colin Powell enough?) is Frank McKenna, the Canadian ambassador to the US. It costs a minimum of $245/ticket! That's the most ridiculous price for tickets I've ever seen, especially for a political discussion. Although I would buy one for myself and a friend, I think paying rent is far more important. Besides, even if tickets were reasonably priced, I'm hosting a med school party at my house for a friend on the same night. I'm making him raspberry cheesecake. Mmmm...
