A Dream Within a Dream

I have decided that to add to the word of the day, we will also have INTERESTING FACTS!!!! Today's word of the day is POLYGLOT. A person who speaks many differant languages.

An Interesting Fact (dedicated to the copious amounts of mosquitoes in calgary): Only Female Mosquitoes bite, and the apparatus that they suck your blood with is NOT their nose, it is called a proboscis. The Reason why it swells up and is itchy is becasue the mosquitoe leaves some of its saliva and your body proceeds to ATTACK it, its like... when something is healing, its always itchy.. same thing!

After writing that, i realized that female bugs are quite annoying, like.. if you really think about it... many times the little man spider has to like... HIDE from its woman so that she doesnt eat it! and the woman Mosquitoe drinks our blood.... Something funny you could do is let the mosquitoe drink as much blood from you as it can and then watch it have a hard time fly away... also.. i suppose that could be quite discusting!

A Poet whom i'm sure you know, Edgar Allan Poe ,In 1836 married his 13-year-old cousin Virginia Clemm!


Edgar Allan Poe - A Dream Within A Dream

Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow--
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand--
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep--while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?

i like it.... a dream within a dream!
