Bob Dylan née Robert Allen Zimmerman was born on this day in 1941.
And on this memorable occasion, I've found a quote that makes me think of EagleTalk...
<OBLIGATORY QUOTE #1>: A self-ordained professor's tongue Too serious to fool Spouted out that liberty Is just equality in school "Equality," I spoke the word As if a wedding vow. Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now.
In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand At the mongrel dogs who teach Fearing not that I'd become my enemy In the instant that I preach My pathway led by confusion boats Mutiny from stern to bow. Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now. </OBLIGATORY QUOTE #1>:
And another quote that just makes me think...
<OBLIGATORY QUOTE #2> You've been with the professors And they've all liked your looks With great lawyers you have Discussed lepers and crooks You've been through all of F. Scott Fitzgerald's books You're very well read It's well known
Because something is happening here But you don't know what it is Do you, Mister Jones? </OBLIGATORY QUOTE #2>
Invictus, I'm sure you'll think this is off-topic, but oddly enough it is "Wesley Day" as well.
Somehow this is somehow my fifth summer to stay in Cambridge (England) at Wesley House, a training college for Methodist preachers. And today is "Wesley Day," I note. A brief bit of googling tells me that "On 24th May Methodists celebrate the day in 1738 when John Wesley ‘felt his heart strangely warmed’, a day of renewal, of conversion."
Let's hope this is a good sign--a convergence of the twain, so to speak.
