Lest We Despair and Fear Obamacare

Contrary to President Obama's arrogant-speak, we, as God's creation and contigent beings, can never assumed and claimed to be in partnership with Him in matters of life and death.

Let the name of God be blessed forever and ever,
For wisdom and power belong to Him.
It is He who changes the times and the epochs;
He removes kings and establishes kings;
He gives wisdom to wise men
And knowledge to men of understanding.
It is He who reveals the profound and hidden things;
He knows what is in the darkness,
And the light dwells with Him.
To You, O God of my fathers, I give thanks and praise...

-- Daniel 2:20-23
New American Standard Bible

Jouissance vous donneray

Jouissance vous donneray
et vous méneray
Là où prétend
Votre espérance
Vivante ne vous laisseray
Encores quand morte seray
L'esprit en aura souvenance
L'esprit en aura souvenance

-- Clément Marot (1496 - 1544)

The Caffeinated L'Envoi

My testing of Google's new beta Caffeine search engine on the word "L'Envoi" has percolated this blog to position number 8 out of the top 30 returned citations. Wow! By contrast, the current decaf search algorithm displayed this blog as number 33 on the search list.

I'll have another cup of joe. The new Google blend, please. Thank you.

How High the Moon

Les Paul
guitarist, inventor of the electric guitar
(9 June, 1915 – 13 August, 2009)

The sun descending in the west
The evening star does shine
The birds are silent in their nest
And I must seek for mine
The moon, like a flower
In heaven’s high bower
With silent delight
Sits and smiles on the night
and you, Les
--with apologies to William Blake

Around the World in Eighty Days
Music: Victor Young
Lyrics: Ned Washington
Vocals: The McGuire Sisters (1957)

Around the world I've searched for you
I traveled on when hope was gone to keep a rendezvous
I knew somewhere, sometime, somehow
You'd look at me and I would see that smile you're smiling now

It might have been in County Down
Or in New York, in gay Paris or even London town
No more will I go all around the world
For I have found my world in you

(Interlude)

It might have been in County Down
Or in New York, in gay Paris or even London town
No more will I go all around the world
For I have found (I found) my world in you
