"What I do not wish to know does not exist, the only real problem is how to play the queen's knight."
--Saramago


    "Longing."

IF you could sit with me beside the sea to-day,
And whisper with me sweetest dreamings o'er and o'er;
I think I should not find the clouds so dim and gray,
And not so loud the waves complaining at the shore.

If you could sit with me upon the shore to-day,
And hold my hand in yours as in the days of old,

I think I should not mind the chill baptismal spray,
Nor fine my hand and heart and all the world so cold.

If you could walk with me upon the strand to-day,
And tell me that my longing love had won your own,
I think all my sad thoughts would then be put away,
And I could give back laughter for the Ocean's moan!

--Paul Laurence Dunbar

Called "TG's Finest Moment". (I used to have this on VHS, then in a weak moment--sold it.)
