Ancient Poetry
John Keats (1818), 'Fair creature of an hour':
When I have fears that I may cease to be
Before my pen has glean'd my teeming brain,
Before high-piled books, in charactery,
Hold like rich garners the full ripen'd grain;
When I behold, upon the night's starr'd face,
Huge cloudy symbols of a high romance,
And think that I may never live to trace
Their shadows, with the magic hand of chance;
And when I feel, fair creature of an hour,
That I shall never look upon thee more,
Never have relish in the faery power
Of unreflecting love;--then on the shore
Of the wide world I stand alone,
and think Till love and fame to nothingness do sink.
When I have fears that I may cease to be
Before my pen has glean'd my teeming brain,
Before high-piled books, in charactery,
Hold like rich garners the full ripen'd grain;
When I behold, upon the night's starr'd face,
Huge cloudy symbols of a high romance,
And think that I may never live to trace
Their shadows, with the magic hand of chance;
And when I feel, fair creature of an hour,
That I shall never look upon thee more,
Never have relish in the faery power
Of unreflecting love;--then on the shore
Of the wide world I stand alone,
and think Till love and fame to nothingness do sink.

Tarkan's song "Dudu" takes you directly to Turkey
Http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtJGJP50zNw
Enjoy my favourite song of Tarkan!
Aglamadan ayrilik olmaz
Hatiralar uslu durmaz
Kalanlar gideni gönlünde tasir
Ask sevene yük olmaz
Biz böyle bilir böyle yasariz
Ooo o da biliyor
Ooo o da seviyor
Ooo
Bile bile kafa tutuyor aska gözü kara
O yine bildigini okuyor...
Çiçek gibi tazecik,
Kiymetli bi tanecik,
Ana sütü gibi tertemiz...
Dudu dudu dilleri,
Likir likir içmeli,
Gözleri derya deniz...
Bu gönül ona torpil geçiyor
Etrafinda fir dönüyor
El bebek gül bebektir o...
Ne yapsa inadina hos görüyor
Kara kara düsündürüyor
Ooo onun da içi gidiyor
Ooo o da tasalaniyor
Ooo
Bile bile kafa tutuyor aska gözü kara
O yine bildigini okuyor
Sen güldügüme bakma,
Gör de duy da inanma,
Tuz buz oldu bu kalp ah on bin parça
Aldigin her nefeste
Attigin her adimda burda olsa
Cancagizim yanimda olsa...
Ata ata dertleri hep içime attim
Insan gibi yasamak benim de hakkim
Içimdeki zemberek kirildi artik
Tamiri mümkün degilse iste o gün yandik
Her gün yagmur yagabilir,
Insan hata yapabilir,
Birbirimize tutunursak,
Belki günes dogabilir..

Dancing down the aisle

"JK Wedding Entrance"
YouTube Wedding Dance
Video Rocks
By Associated Press
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — The video of a Minnesota couple who boogied down a church aisle with their wedding party to the surprise of their guests is a hit on YouTube.
Kevin Heinz and Jillian Peterson, their seven bridesmaids, five groomsmen and four ushers danced down the aisle to the Chris Brown song "Forever" before the couple exchanged vows June 20 in St. Paul.
Peterson said Friday on NBC's "Today" show that she grew up dancing and loves dance as a way of expression. She says she didn't have any trouble talking Heinz into it for their wedding.
After posting the video on YouTube for family members, Heinz says the number of hits just exploded. The video has gotten more than 1.4 million hits on YouTube as of Friday.
