Quoted by Ordericus Vitalis in The Ecclesiastical History (c. 1142)
"I tremble my friends/ when I reflect on the grievous sins which burden my conscience, and now, about to be summoned before the awful tribunal of God, I know not what I ought to do. I was bred to arms from my childhood, and am stained from the rivers of blood I have shed... It is out of my power to count all the injuries which I have caused during the sixty-four years of my troubled life." - King William of Normandy
While there's leaves in the forest
And foam on the river,
MacGregor, despite them,
Shall flourish forever!
Sir Walter Scott
"Never forget what Jesus did for you. Never take lightly what it cost Him. And never assume that if it cost Him His very life, that it won't also cost you yours." - Rich Mullins
Stopping by to say hello. Hope you’re enjoying your week. Thank you for being so patient while I’ve been busy. Have a beautiful evening, my sweet friend. Hugs, Kristi~
When the Moon arouse in the east, And crimson skies streaked in west, Sea glimmered in the evening starlight And the sun sank in the deep blue twilight.
Evening Star shone from afar And slowly the veil of light unfurled Diamonds grew as clusters of star And the wind hummed and chuckled.
The waves strewn and sea hewn By a magical glow of the Moon, The sea boomed and life it sewn, With the cold reflections in gloom
And magical creatures danced and roamed And plants bloomed upon moonlit mould Deer ran helter-skelter as the lions roared And a magical lore of the sea unfold.
Night after night as the time passed A new life the Sea canvassed Of warriors of old she portrayed one night Who fought the foe and hailed a knight.
And once she revealed in her immense womb Magical fishes and dolphins in the gloom Sharks and whales plunging up and down As the waves rolled with a grin and frown
A magical lore of the Sea unfold As the Moonlight shines onto her A magical lore of the Sea untold Fades away as the Moon sinks into her.
