SALTAIRE38.blogspot.com "In the time of your life--live." That time is short and it doesn't return again. It is slipping away while I write this and while you read it, and the monosyllable of the clock is Loss, loss, loss, unless you devote your heart to its opposition (--Tennesse Williams)

Could everyone write one simple essay about something that once happened in Saltaire…that they saw or were a part of…and put it on one big website? Somebody should collect a lot of stories before we all forget. Otherwise it is like a line in “On The Beach” : The history of the war that now would never be written.” -(JO'H)

JO'H

Look back on time with kindly eyes

He doubtless did his best

How softly sinks his trembling sun

In human nature's west.

-Emily Dickinson

What an idle time!

What an idle time! What an insubstantial, happy, foolish time! Of all the times of mine that Time has in his grip, there is none that in one retrospect I can smile at half so much, and think of half so tenderly.

--David Copperfield

I should have been a pair of ragged claws

Scuttling across the floors of silent seas.

-Prufrock

And nothing I cared, at my sky-blue trades

That Time allows,

In all his tuneful turnings

So few, and such morning songs

Before the children, green and golden

Follow him out of grace.

--Dylan Thomas

When the tale of their journeyings was told, there were other tales, and yet more tales, tales of long ago, and tales of new things, and tales of no time at all, till Bilbo's head fell forward on his chest, and he snored comfortably in a corner.

--The Hobbit

He had respect for the sea...
On Bofin Island, he loafed on land,
Dozed the sterile winter dreaming of boats
And in the summer wanted neither food nor sleep
While he gave his strength seriously to the sea.--

Richard Murphy, "The Cleggan Disaster" Off the west coast of Ireland, 1927

Well the picture is changing
Now you're part of a crowd
They're laughing at something
And the music's loud
A girl comes towards you
You once used to know
You reach out your hand
But you're all alone,
in these Time passages
I know you're in there,
you're just out of sight
Time passages
Buy me a ticket on the last boat home tonight
-Al Stewart

Teach your parents well, their children's hell will slowly go by,
And feed them on your dreams, the one they picked, the one you're known by.
Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you would cry,
So just look at them and sigh and know they love you.

-- CSNY

You had control of our smiles and our tears

All those years ago

And what if excess of love
Bewildered them until they died?
