Wölfin

Yes, it's time to say goodbye.
I'm soo tired that I now only understand and write railwaystation but I think that it half so wild :weia :weia :weia

Dundee

By the way: I am a forest tree. A larch, to be precise.

And I live in the Black Forest.

"Dundee" is my English identity. Or my Scottish one, to be precise once again.

But: What's in a name? A tree by any other name would look as green!

Now I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Or could it be the light of an oncoming train? :-D

And what about a resurrection? On the third day?

Or on the second day?

Nowadays one has to be faster than Jesus was! :cool:

aurian

yeah, nowadays everything seems to be faster. Just go ahead and resurrect and die and do everything all over again...

... and again

.... and again

Jesus was yesterday ... today is Superjesus.

Waldbaum

Zitat:

Jesus was yesterday ... today is Superjesus.

Super-Jesus was tonight. This morning Mega-Jesus is in!

That is awfully nice of you! :knuddel

But I must admit I am a bit shy about it. :oops:

As long as I don't know what it really is.

Zitat:

Ambrosia is very closely related to the gods' other form of sustenance, nectar. The two terms may not have originally been distinguished;[1] though in Homer's poems nectar is the drink and ambrosia the food of the gods; it was with ambrosia Hera "cleansed all defilement from her lovely flesh" (Iliad xiv.170), and with ambrosia Athena prepared Penelope in her sleep (Odyssey xviii.188ff) so that when she appeared for the final time before her suitors, the effect of the years had been stripped away and they were inflamed at the sight of her.

On the other hand, in Alcman, nectar is the food, and in Sappho (fragment 45) and Anaxandrides,[2] ambrosia is the drink. When a character in Aristophanes' Knights says, "I dreamed the goddess poured ambrosia over your head— out of a ladle", the homely and realistic ladle brings the ineffable moment to ground with a thump.

But I'm not shure if ambrosia is his favorite drink!
