Du som är i himmelen

Helgat varde ditt verk

Tillkomme ditt rike

Såsom i himmelen

Så ock på jorden

Giv oss vårt dagliga bröd

Och förlåt oss våra synder

Såsom och vi bör förlåta dem oss skyldiga äro

Och inled oss icke i frestelse

Utan fräls oss ifrån ondo

Ty riket är ditt

Och makten och härligheten

I evighet

You who art in heaven,

hallowed be thy works.

Thy kingdom come.

Thy will be done

on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread,

and forgive us our trespasses,

as we should forgive those who trespass against us,

and lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

For thine is the kingdom,

and the power, and the glory,

for ever and ever.

Flint was the eighteenth of the twenty prehispanic symbol. Its design is a knife or razor made of stone. It seems that this design is formed by the area of intersection between two circles. I believe that the flint is the symbol of the solar eclipse, tonatiuhcuallo in Nahuatl, caused by the interposition of the moon between the earth and the sun

In an annular eclipse of the Sun is very clear to see how the sun king is maimed by a portion of your disk. The mutilated portion is a tecpatl . Also during a total solar eclipse can be seen as the flint widens to cover the entire Sun

Within twenty days ring calendrical opposite the rabbit this flint and symbolizes the moon. The rabbit represents the full moon and the new moon flint. The hollow center is made of maguey sap called to extract water and honey which is produced pulque, resembles a pot that was represented in the codices as the pot of the moon. When is full of white sap is at its full moon phase. In mythology the rabbit takes drunk that water and leaving the empty pot, new moon, is just a stone, the tecpatl , inside, the stone covering the hollow of the maguey, to protect the ritual of liquid rainfall and dust.

The process of extracting juice from the maguey is repetitive, the void is filled in a few days and the liquid is extracted leaving it empty until refilled to repeat the process.The operation resembles the processes of full moon and new moon.

Flint was associated with the moon and still to this day remains in the memory of indigenous myth of care for pregnant women in an eclipse. If they are not protected with a flint knife or scissors, the child in the womb may be born with a cleft lip. This lip recalls the shape of the mouth of the rabbits and they were associated with the moon.The rabbit, visible in the full phase of the satellite, was drawn in some codices loading to the moon.

In the mythology of India is exactly like this picture and not just the rabbit but the deer that loads the Sun Funny thing is the knowledge that the Chinese also seen on the face of the moon rabbit.

Flint was part of the pre-Hispanic symbols for years. The first year was the house, the second rabbit, reed third and fourth flint.

This Trecena starts with 1 Etznab (Flint/Mirror) – reflection, spiritual warrior, self-sacrificing healer and defender,

facing the truth with strength.

To the Ancient Maya, Flint symbolized the consciousness of duality, right and wrong, good and evil,

faith and fear, the spiritual warrior who, through his actions, chooses the ethical and moral path.

There is evidence of another ancient interpretation of the Flint glyph. According to Tony Shearer in

Beneath the Moon and Under the Sun, there was a Maya story told to Friar Juan de Cordova

on the day of Flint about a light coming from the Sun as a Solar Beam bringing with it the “Book of Days”

which we know as the sacred calendar or Tzolkin. 

“On the day we call Tecpatl ( Flint ) a great light came from the northeastern sky.

It glowed for four days in the sky, then lowered itself to that rock

(the rock can still be seen at Tenochtitlan de Valle in Oaxaca ).

From the light there came a great, a very powerful being

who stood on the very top of the rock and glowed like the sun in the sky. 

There he stood for all to see, shining day and night.

Then he spoke, his voice was like thunder, booming across the valley.

Our old men and women, the astronomers and astrologists,

could understand him and he could understand them. 

He (the Solar Beam) told us how to pray and fixed for us days of fast and feasting.

He then balanced the “Book of days,” (Sacred Calendar) and left,

vowing that he would always watch down on us, his beloved people.”

Translated by George W. MacRae

I was sent forth from the power,

and I have come to those who reflect upon me,

and I have been found among those who seek after me.

Look upon me, you who reflect upon me,

and you hearers, hear me.

You who are waiting for me, take me to yourselves.

And do not banish me from your sight.

And do not make your voice hate me, nor your hearing.

Do not be ignorant of me anywhere or any time. Be on your guard!

Do not be ignorant of me.

For I am the first and the last.

I am the honored one and the scorned one.

I am the whore and the holy one.

I am the wife and the virgin.

I am <the mother> and the daughter.

I am the members of my mother.

I am the barren one

and many are her sons.

I am she whose wedding is great,

and I have not taken a husband.

I am the midwife and she who does not bear.

I am the solace of my labor pains.

I am the bride and the bridegroom,

and it is my husband who begot me.

I am the mother of my father

and the sister of my husband

and he is my offspring.

I am the slave of him who prepared me.

I am the ruler of my offspring.

But he is the one who begot me before the time on a birthday.

And he is my offspring in (due) time,

and my power is from him.

I am the staff of his power in his youth,

and he is the rod of my old age.

And whatever he wills happens to me.

I am the silence that is incomprehensible

and the idea whose remembrance is frequent.

I am the voice whose sound is manifold

and the word whose appearance is multiple.

I am the utterance of my name.

Why, you who hate me, do you love me,

and hate those who love me?

You who deny me, confess me,

and you who confess me, deny me.

You who tell the truth about me, lie about me,

and you who have lied about me, tell the truth about me.

You who know me, be ignorant of me,

and those who have not known me, let them know me.

For I am knowledge and ignorance.

I am shame and boldness.

I am shameless; I am ashamed.

I am strength and I am fear.

I am war and peace.

Give heed to me.

I am the one who is disgraced and the great one.

Give heed to my poverty and my wealth.

Do not be arrogant to me when I am cast out upon the earth,

and you will find me in those that are to come.

And do not look upon me on the dung-heap

nor go and leave me cast out,

and you will find me in the kingdoms.

And do not look upon me when I am cast out among those who

are disgraced and in the least places,

nor laugh at me.

And do not cast me out among those who are slain in violence.

But I, I am compassionate and I am cruel.

Be on your guard!

Do not hate my obedience

and do not love my self-control.

In my weakness, do not forsake me,

and do not be afraid of my power.

For why do you despise my fear

and curse my pride?

But I am she who exists in all fears

and strength in trembling.

I am she who is weak,

and I am well in a pleasant place.

I am senseless and I am wise.

Why have you hated me in your counsels?

For I shall be silent among those who are silent,

and I shall appear and speak,

Why then have you hated me, you Greeks?

Because I am a barbarian among the barbarians?

For I am the wisdom of the Greeks

and the knowledge of the barbarians.

I am the judgement of the Greeks and of the barbarians.

I am the one whose image is great in Egypt

and the one who has no image among the barbarians.

I am the one who has been hated everywhere

and who has been loved everywhere.

I am the one whom they call Life,

and you have called Death.

I am the one whom they call Law,

and you have called Lawlessness.

I am the one whom you have pursued,

and I am the one whom you have seized.

I am the one whom you have scattered,

and you have gathered me together.

I am the one before whom you have been ashamed,

and you have been shameless to me.

I am she who does not keep festival,

and I am she whose festivals are many.

I, I am godless,

and I am the one whose God is great.

I am the one whom you have reflected upon,

and you have scorned me.

I am unlearned,

and they learn from me.

I am the one that you have despised,

and you reflect upon me.

I am the one whom you have hidden from,

and you appear to me.

But whenever you hide yourselves,

I myself will appear.

For whenever you appear,

I myself will hide from you.

Those who have [...] to it [...] senselessly [...].

Take me [... understanding] from grief.

and take me to yourselves from understanding and grief.

And take me to yourselves from places that are ugly and in ruin,

and rob from those which are good even though in ugliness.

Out of shame, take me to yourselves shamelessly;

and out of shamelessness and shame,

upbraid my members in yourselves.

And come forward to me, you who know me

and you who know my members,

and establish the great ones among the small first creatures.

Come forward to childhood,

and do not despise it because it is small and it is little.

And do not turn away greatnesses in some parts from the smallnesses,

for the smallnesses are known from the greatnesses.

Why do you curse me and honor me?

You have wounded and you have had mercy.

Do not separate me from the first ones whom you have known.

And do not cast anyone out nor turn anyone away

[...] turn you away and [... know] him not.

[...].

What is mine [...].

I know the first ones and those after them know me.

But I am the mind of [...] and the rest of [...].

I am the knowledge of my inquiry,

and the finding of those who seek after me,

and the command of those who ask of me,

and the power of the powers in my knowledge

of the angels, who have been sent at my word,

and of gods in their seasons by my counsel,

and of spirits of every man who exists with me,

and of women who dwell within me.

I am the one who is honored, and who is praised,

and who is despised scornfully.

I am peace,

and war has come because of me.

And I am an alien and a citizen.

I am the substance and the one who has no substance.

Those who are without association with me are ignorant of me,

and those who are in my substance are the ones who know me.

Those who are close to me have been ignorant of me,

and those who are far away from me are the ones who have known me.

On the day when I am close to you, you are far away from me,

and on the day when I am far away from you, I am close to you.

[I am ...] within.

[I am ...] of the natures.

I am [...] of the creation of the spirits.

[...] request of the souls.

I am control and the uncontrollable.

I am the union and the dissolution.

I am the abiding and I am the dissolution.

I am the one below,

and they come up to me.

I am the judgment and the acquittal.

I, I am sinless,

and the root of sin derives from me.

I am lust in (outward) appearance,

and interior self-control exists within me.

I am the hearing which is attainable to everyone

and the speech which cannot be grasped.

I am a mute who does not speak,

and great is my multitude of words.

Hear me in gentleness, and learn of me in roughness.

I am she who cries out,

and I am cast forth upon the face of the earth.

I prepare the bread and my mind within.

I am the knowledge of my name.

I am the one who cries out,

and I listen.

I appear and [...] walk in [...] seal of my [...].

I am [...] the defense [...].

I am the one who is called Truth

You honor me [...] and you whisper against me.

You who are vanquished, judge them (who vanquish you)

before they give judgment against you,

because the judge and partiality exist in you.

If you are condemned by this one, who will acquit you?

Or, if you are acquitted by him, who will be able to detain you?

For what is inside of you is what is outside of you,

and the one who fashions you on the outside

is the one who shaped the inside of you.

And what you see outside of you, you see inside of you;

it is visible and it is your garment.

Hear me, you hearers

and learn of my words, you who know me.

I am the hearing that is attainable to everything;

I am the speech that cannot be grasped.

I am the name of the sound

Give heed then, you hearers

and you also, the angels and those who have been sent,

and you spirits who have arisen from the dead.

For I am the one who alone exists,

and I have no one who will judge me.

For many are the pleasant forms which exist in numerous sins,

and incontinencies,

and disgraceful passions,

and fleeting pleasures,

which (men) embrace until they become sober

and go up to their resting place.

And they will find me there,

and they will live,

and they will not die again.

Thanks to Aristotle,
you now know what a fireball is.
Or fire damage. Or fire, as a matter of fact.

Aristotle was a smart-ass as you see, but he wasn't the only one. About a hundred years later, a kid was born in Syracuse of Sicily. This kid was named Archimedes. Yeah, that's right, he also happened to be Greek. One of his most famous discoveries is...the one with...the golden...and with....you know what? Fuck it. Let Wikipedia explain it to you:

"The most widely known anecdote about Archimedes tells of how he invented a method for determining the volume of an object with an irregular shape. According to Vitruvius, a new crown in the shape of a laurel wreath had been made for King Hiero II, and Archimedes was asked to determine whether it was of solid gold, or whether silver had been added by a dishonest goldsmith. Archimedes had to solve the problem without damaging the crown, so he could not melt it down into a regularly shaped body in order to calculate its density. While taking a bath, he noticed that the level of the water in the tub rose as he got in, and realized that this effect could be used to determine the volume of the crown. For practical purposes water is incompressible, so the submerged crown would displace an amount of water equal to its own volume. By dividing the weight of the crown by the volume of water displaced, the density of the crown could be obtained. This density would be lower than that of gold if cheaper and less dense metals had been added. Archimedes then took to the streets naked, so excited by his discovery that he had forgotten to dress, crying "Eureka!""

That should explain everything. Of course, you know this anecdote very well because you've been hearing it since you were little brats until now when you're fulltime losers, just to remind yourselves that you live a completely worthless and pathetic life. What still amazes you (as much as it used to, in your childhood) is not the complete genius of the theory, no....of course not. The thing that really amazes you still is the fact that after he had his little revelation, he took to the streets naked. Come on, don't fucking lie, you bloody bastard. You can almost see yourself again:

The Teacher: "Archimedes then took to the streets naked, so excited by his discovery that he had forgotten to dress, crying "Eureka!""
You: "Holy Mother of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! Did he really? What a nutter!" 

And after that you'd think of what did the people around him say. Well, let me tell you what and enlighten you a bit: absolutely frickin' nothing! This was happening in ancient Greece! Do you really think it would've made any difference if he would've just walked out in a toga or a towel? I think people were accustomed enough to seeing each other naked....I don't know....it's just a wild guess....which is a right one, by the way. So stop being so amazed. We'll be back to this bit later.

As you see, Archimedes was also a smart-ass. He invented even more shit that you couldn't possibly wrap you head around. And among those great inventions there's an even greater one, a milestone in humanity's evolution, a key invention that helped us people survive for so long:

Go ahead. Make my day. I'm watching you.

1966 / Daisies – The food orgy.

Czechoslovakia (Ceskoslovenský Státní Film/Filmové Studio Barrandov). Director: Vera Chytilová. Cast: Jitka Cerhová, Ivana Karbanová. Original title: Sedmikrasky.

Why It’s Key: The climactic shock in this avant-garde farce is connected to food, not sex.

In an avant-garde feminist farce full of giggles and outrages, the ultimate jolt, which reportedly got its director into the most trouble, is an extravagant food orgy. Prior to this, the countless antics of two 17-year-old girls, both named Marie, nearly all involve food and/or drink, some of it served in posh restaurants, as well as the promise of sexual favors to dirty old men that are never delivered. Sometimes the transgressions are mainly formal; sometimes they involve both food and sex, such as when phallic bananas are compulsively sliced.

Eventually, the heroines’ plotless wanderings bring them via a dumbwaiter to a huge banquet hall filled with delicacies. After tentatively sampling a few dishes, they start sinking their hands into the sauces, devouring chickens, swilling diverse kinds of liquor, mixing together different dishes, gorging on pastries, and finally engaging in a food fight worthy of Laurel and Hardy —- much of this done to the strains of the Austrian national anthem. Then they start dancing on the table, swinging from an ornate chandelier, and smashing plates and glasses. Finally, to make matters even worse, they pretend to clean up the carnage —-reassembling plates like jigsaw puzzles and scraping food off the floor to heap it back onto trays.

Indignant Czech citizens who decried the waste and self-indulgence were only rising to the bait. The film ends with newsreel shots of aerial bombardment, over which a title appears: “This film is dedicated to those whose only reason for outrage is mutilated lettuce.”

I am not so interested in the various ways billions of others receive their pleasures from for example food or sex. I am somewhat disgusted by the staggering amount of time and effort that is now being spent in communicating these pleasures to each other. To each their own delights, so that we leave communications free to deal with more crucial matters.

Musiken föder ett behov av tystnad, publiken är försatt i sin egen scen och är inte beredd på att delta utan vill låta sig förföras. Musikforskaren Lucy Green beskriver, inspirerad av bland andra psykoanalytikern Jacques Lacan ett musikaliskt framträdande som en uppvisning där den som uppträder har på sig en mask, både som skydd och som hjälp i sin framställning av ett verk. Green beskriver att ”den som ser” framträdandet också är medveten om masken och att detta är en förutsättning för kommunikationen mellan ”förevisar” och ”den som ser”. För den som ser är den som framträder dubbel i sin natur, det är både någon annan och någon annan i en mask. Masken är mellanrummet mellan den som ser och den förevisar och det är där det konstnärliga utbytet sker. Detta sätter värdefulla ord på det som tar plats under en konsert. Ord som beskriver att det inte bara är den som framträder som skapar.

Musikern är sig själv på scen, men inte riktigt, och det vet publiken, och det är en förutsättning för kommunikationen. Detta scen-jag är en extra anspänning, en förhöjd vakenhet, kanske den mask Green talar om. Masken är inte bara min konstruktion som publiken får ta del av utan en ömsesidig produkt. Den som förevisar är den som har den aktiva positionen, makten att förföra, att locka...

Pyroclastic flow

Ozone was proposed as a new substance in air in 1840, and named, even before its chemical nature was known, after the Greek verb ozein (ὄζειν, "to smell"), from the peculiar odor after lightning storms. Ozone's odor is sharp, reminiscent of chlorine, and detectable by many people at concentrations of as little as 10 parts per billion in air. Ozone's O₃ formula was determined in 1865. The molecule was later proven to have a bent structure and to be diamagnetic. In standard conditions, ozone is a pale blue gas that condenses at progressively cryogenic temperatures to a dark blue liquid and finally a violet-black solid. Ozone's instability with regard to more common dioxygen is such that both concentrated gas and liquid ozone may decompose explosively.

Ozone cracking used to be a serious problem in car tires for example...

Does the sun make a noise or have a smell?
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080330104949AArF5sk

Yes the sun make sound. That's like asking if a volcano erupting has sound. Just because that sound can't get to Earth doesn't mean there isn't sound on the Sun. That's like saying the Earth doesn't have sound just because the sound can't get through space to the sun.

The entire Sun vibrates from a complex pattern of acoustical waves, much like a bell. If your eyes were sharp enough, you could see a bell's surface jiggle in complex patterns as the waves bounced around within it.The Sun's acoustical waves bounce from one side of the Sun to the other in about two hours, causing the Sun's surface to oscillate, or wiggle up and down. Because these sound waves travel underneath the Sun's surface, they are influenced by conditions inside the Sun. So scientists can use the oscillations to learn more about how the structure of the Sun's interior shapes its surface. 

The Sun's sound waves are normally at frequencies too low for the human ear to hear. To be able to hear them, the scientists sped up the waves 42,000 times -- and compressed 40 days of vibrations into a few seconds. What you'll be hearing are just a few dozen of the 10 million resonances echoing inside the Sun. 

Go here to listen to a collection of sounds of solar ocillations:
http://solar-center.stanford.edu/singing…

Like someone said, it could smell like welding. If you ever smell hydrogen (like from a flameless heater in a military ration) it would smell just like that.

As for smell you should consider that everything around you has an odor and in most cases that smell originates from the sun. For simplicity, take for example an orange. The orange when peeled has a distinctive and delightful citrus smell. Citrus trees as well as all other growing things depends on sunlight for photosynthesis and to grow and produce fruit. So, in essence when you smell an orange your actually, in a manner of speaking, smelling the sun.


Wikipedia:

The Sun releases energy at the mass-energy conversion rate of 4.26 million metric tons per second. This mass is not destroyed to create the energy, rather, the mass is carried away in the radiated energy, as described by the concept of mass-energy equivalence.

The Sun is a magnetically active star. It supports a strong, changing magnetic field that varies year-to-year and reverses direction about every eleven years around solar maximum.

The Sun was formed about 4.57 billion years ago from the collapse of part of a giant molecular cloud that consisted mostly of hydrogen and helium and which probably gave birth to many other stars. This age is estimated using computer models of stellar evolution and through nucleocosmochronology. The result is consistent with the radiometric date of the oldest Solar System material, at 4.567 billion years ago. Studies of ancient meteorites reveal traces of stable daughter nuclei of short-lived isotopes, such as iron-60, that only form in exploding, short-lived stars. This indicates that one or more supernovae must have occurred near the location where the Sun formed. A shock wave from a nearby supernova would have triggered the formation of the Sun by compressing the gases within the molecular cloud, and causing certain regions to collapse under their own gravity. As one fragment of the cloud collapsed it also began to rotate due to conservation of angular momentum and heat up with the increasing pressure. Much of the mass became concentrated in the center, while the rest flattened out into a disk which would become the planets and other solar system bodies. Gravity and pressure within the core of the cloud generated a lot of heat as it accreted more gas from the surrounding disk, eventually triggering nuclear fusion. Thus, our Sun was born.

The Sun lies close to the inner rim of the Milky Way Galaxy's Orion Arm, in the Local Fluff or the Gould Belt, at a hypothesized distance of 7.5–8.5 kpc (25,000–28,000 lightyears) from the Galactic Center, contained within the Local Bubble, a space of rarefied hot gas, possibly produced by the supernova remnant, Geminga. The distance between the local arm and the next arm out, the Perseus Arm, is about 6,500 light-years. The Sun, and thus the Solar System, is found in what scientists call the galactic habitable zone.

The Apex of the Sun's Way, or the solar apex, is the direction that the Sun travels through space in the Milky Way, relative to other nearby stars. The general direction of the Sun's galactic motion is towards the star Vega in the constellation of Lyra at an angle of roughly 60 sky degrees to the direction of the Galactic Center.

The Sun's orbit around the Galaxy is expected to be roughly elliptical with the addition of perturbations due to the galactic spiral arms and non-uniform mass distributions. In addition the Sun oscillates up and down relative to the galactic plane approximately 2.7 times per orbit. It has been argued that the Sun's passage through the higher density spiral arms often coincides with mass extinctions on Earth, perhaps due to increased impact events. It takes the Solar System about 225–250 million years to complete one orbit of the galaxy (a galactic year), so it is thought to have completed 20–25 orbits during the lifetime of the Sun. The orbital speed of the Solar System about the center of the Galaxy is approximately 251 km/s. At this speed, it takes around 1,190 years for the Solar System to travel a distance of 1 light-year, or 7 days to travel 1 AU.

The Sun's motion about the centre of mass of the Solar System is complicated by perturbations from the planets. Every few hundred years this motion switches between prograde and retrograde.

For many years the number of solar electron neutrinos detected on Earth was ¹⁄₃ to ¹⁄₂ of the number predicted by the standard solar model. This anomalous result was termed thesolar neutrino problem... in 2001 the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory was able to detect all three types of neutrinos directly, and found that the Sun's total neutrino emission rate agreed with the Standard Solar Model, although depending on the neutrino energy as few as one-third of the neutrinos seen at Earth are of the electron type.

Faint young Sun problem

Main article: Faint young Sun paradox

Theoretical models of the Sun's development suggest that 3.8 to 2.5 billion years ago, during the Archean period, the Sun was only about 75% as bright as it is today. Such a weak star would not have been able to sustain liquid water on the Earth's surface, and thus life should not have been able to develop. However, the geological record demonstrates that the Earth has remained at a fairly constant temperature throughout its history, and that the young Earth was somewhat warmer than it is today. The consensus among scientists is that the young Earth's atmosphere contained much larger quantities of greenhouse gases (such as carbon dioxide, methane and/or ammonia) than are present today, which trapped enough heat to compensate for the smaller amount of solar energy reaching the planet.

Present anomalies

This article's factual accuracy may be compromised due to out-of-date information. Please help improve the article by updating it. There may be additional information on the talk page. (December 2011)

The Sun is currently behaving unexpectedly in a number of ways.

• It is in the midst of an unusual sunspot minimum, lasting far longer and with a higher percentage of spotless days than normal; since May 2008.
• It is measurably dimming; its output has dropped 0.02% at visible wavelengths and 6% at EUV wavelengths in comparison with the levels at the last solar minimum.
• Over the last two decades, the solar wind's speed has dropped by 3%, its temperature by 13%, and its density by 20%.
• Its magnetic field is at less than half strength compared to the minimum of 22 years ago. The entire heliosphere, which fills the Solar System, has shrunk as a result, thereby increasing the level of cosmic radiation striking the Earth and its atmosphere.

[Ex:22:3: If the sun be risen upon him, there shall be blood shed for him; for he should make full restitution; if he have nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.]

Deut:33:14: And for the precious fruits brought forth by the sun, and for the precious things put forth by the moon,

Josh:10:13: And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day. 

Judg:5:31: So let all thine enemies perish, O LORD: but let them that love him be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might. And the land had rest forty years.

Warning to Children 

Robert Graves

Children, if you dare to think
Of the greatness, rareness, muchness
Fewness of this precious only
Endless world in which you say
You live, you think of things like this:
Blocks of slate enclosing dappled
Red and green, enclosing tawny
Yellow nets, enclosing white
And black acres of dominoes,
Where a neat brown paper parcel
Tempts you to untie the string.
In the parcel a small island,
On the island a large tree,
On the tree a husky fruit.
Strip the husk and pare the rind off:
In the kernel you will see
Blocks of slate enclosed by dappled
Red and green, enclosed by tawny
Yellow nets, enclosed by white
And black acres of dominoes,
Where the same brown paper parcel -
Children, leave the string alone!
For who dares undo the parcel
Finds himself at once inside it,
On the island, in the fruit,
Blocks of slate about his head,
Finds himself enclosed by dappled
Green and red, enclosed by yellow
Tawny nets, enclosed by black
And white acres of dominoes,
With the same brown paper parcel
Still untied upon his knee.
And, if he then should dare to think
Of the fewness, muchness, rareness,
Greatness of this endless only
Precious world in which he says
he lives - he then unties the string.

She can instead be found exploring the deep caves and crevices under the sea that watched her being born.
