More From Robinson Jeffers

Hear and attend and listen; for this is what befell and be-happened and became and was, o my best beloved, when the tame animals were wild. the dog was wild, and the horse was wild, and the cow was wild, and the sheep was wild, and the pig was wild -as wild as wild could be - and they walked in the wet wild woods by their wild lones. but the wildest of all the wild animals was the cat. he walked by himself and all places were alike to him

Shiva... is the only hunter that will ever catch the wild swan; the prey she will take last is the wild white swan of the beauty of things. then she will be alone, pure destruction, achieved and supreme, empty darkness under the death-tent wings. she will build a nest of the swan's bones and hatch a new brood, hang new heavens with new birds, all be renewed.
Swans Wings White
Being wild can be wearing a silly hat. being wild can be dancing weird. being wild can be shooting people. what do i think being wild is? nothing. actually, the whole world is wild. everything is wild.

Love is not a hot-house flower, but a wild plant, born of a wet night, born of an hour of sunshine; sprung from wild seed, blown along the road by a wild wind. a wild plant that, when it blooms by chance within the hedge of our gardens, we call a flower; and when it blooms outside we call a weed; but, flower or weed, whose scent and colour are always, wild!
Weed Flower Sunshine
The cat will keep his side of the bargain. he will kill mice, and he will be kind to babies when he is in the house, just so long as they do not pull his tail too hard. but when he has done that, and between times, and when the moon gets up and night comes, he is the cat that walks by himself, and all places are alike to him. then he goes out to the wet wild woods or up on the wet wild trees or on the wet wild roofs, waving his wild tail and walking by his wild lone.
Baby Cat Moon
What else can i do, a lame old man, but sing hymns to god? if i were a nightingale, i would do the nightingale's part; if i were a swan, i would do as a swan. but now i am a rational creature, and i ought to praise god. this is my work. i do it, nor will i desert my post, so long as i am allowed to keep it. and i ask you to join me in this same song.

If a song is funny and absurd, and it sounds great, it's just going to be that much funnier. and there's no better example of that than 'monty python.'

O for the gentleness of old romance, the simple planning of a minstrel's song!

The main issue was deciding what to play: should it be old ramones material or new material? i had about three albums worth of new material, but i knew that people would rather hear the ramones songs.
