when

" When one has dealings with scholars and artists it is easy to miscalculate in opposite directions: behind a remarkable scholar one not infrequently finds a mediocre man, and behind a mediocre artist often - a very remarkable man "
-Friedrich Nietzsche

Neither men, nor gods, nor bookstalls have ever allowed poets to be mediocre.


Horace

poets

We poets in our youth begin in gladness;
But thereof comes in the end despondency and madness.

~ William Wordsworth

madness

RiffRaff:
It's astounding;
Time is fleeting;
Madness takes its toll.
But listen closely...

Magenta:
Not for very much longer.

RiffRaff:
I've got to keep control.

I remember doing the time-warp
Drinking those moments when
The Blackness would hit me

RiffRaff:
And the void would be calling...

Transylvanians:
Let's do the time-warp again.
Let's do the time-warp again.

Narrator:
It's just a jump to the left.

All:
And then a step to the right.

Narrator:
With your hands on your hips.

All:
You bring your knees in tight.
But it's the pelvic thrust
That really drives you insane.
Let's do the time-warp again.
Let's do the time-warp again.

Magenta:
It's so dreamy, oh fantasy free me.
So you can't see me, no, not at all.
In another dimension, with
voyeuristic intention,
Well secluded, I see all.

RiffRaff:
With a bit of a mind flip

Magenta:
You're into the time slip.

RiffRaff:
And nothing can ever be the same.

Magenta:
You're spaced out on sensation.

RiffRaff:
Like you're under sedation.

All:
Let's do the time-warp again.
Let's do the time-warp again.

Columbia:
Well I was walking down the street
just a-having a think
When a snake of a guy gave me an
evil wink.
He shook-a me up, he took me by surprise.
He had a pickup truck, and the
devil's eyes.
He stared at me and I felt a change.
Time meant nothing, never would again.



All:
Let's do the time-warp again.
Let's do the time-warp again.

Narrator:
It's just a jump to the left.

All:
And then a step to the right.

Narrator:
With your hands on your hips.

All:
You bring your knees in tight.
But it's the pelvic thrust
That really drives you insane.
Let's do the time-warp again.
Let's do the time-warp again.


Sorry. It deserved the treatment

surprise

Life is a great surprise . I do not see why death should not be an even greater one .
Vladmir Nabokov

one

"One has been a bad spectator in life if one has not also seen the hand that in a considerate fashion- kills"
-Fiedrich Nietzsche

Life
 

One should not exaggerate the importance of trifes . Life , for intance , is much to short to be taken seriously .


Nicolas Bentley

life

Oh, isn't life a terrible thing, thank God!

~ Dylan Thomas

To live a life half dead, a living death.

Milton

living

"They've taken everything that I've had to give and,
they say it's over but, man I'm still here living.
I don't know what to do, I think that maybe I'm in over my head."

Lit~Over My Head

Off with her head!

The Red Queen

head

The light in this place is so bad
Makin' me sick in the head
All the laughter is just makin' me sad
The stars have turned cherry red

~ Bob Dylan

No sir, I did not have sexual relations with that cherry tree.


William Washington (George's largely unknown brother)

relations

It is melancholy truth that even great men have their poor relations

Charles Dickens
