    Others because you did not keep
    That deep-sworn vow have been friends of mine;
    Yet always when I look death in the face,
    When I clamber to the heights of sleep,
    Or when I grow excited with wine,
    Suddenly I meet your face.

    William Butler Yeats


    Cast a cold Eye
    On Life, on Death.
    Horseman, pass by!
    Pacta sunt servanda !!!

      Yes... And you will have observed that rather magnificent family pile near Siena, around which I have prowled, dreaming of it being Castello Calibano...

                    Dipping in and out, I'm completely lost.

                    Just saw mercia's latest: I'm up the Zambesi without a paddle...

                        Zambezi it was! Humblest apologies begged yet again for an awful challenge. But we had a laugh!

                        That Jumping Jewels video wins the booby prize for worst miming - especially the drummer!
