Sir Walter Scott - Lay of the Last Minstrel
A favorite poetic extract that has deep personal meaning to me.
High though his titles, proud his name,
Boundless his wealth as wish can claim;

And, doubly dying, shall go down
To the vile dust, from whence he sprung,
Unwept, unhonour’d, and unsung.
Canto VI, Stanza 1, Lines 9-16 (1805)
Watched: This Is Not a Test 🍿much better than I thought it would be. Enjoyed.
Watched: Hellbender 🍿
Fantastic flick, great music (written & performed by actors who were a band first). Great witchy/horror, coming of age feel. I also thought there were 🏳️⚧️ allusions.
