GE dear, One has to be more sorry for poor old Milton, of course, who lost his sight "ere half his days in this dark world and wide..", so let's use our talents while we still have 'em, eh? MG 1003

Thanks :P its only semi-plagiarism really, one of those times when you read a poem and it sets you to thinking. I think it was Rudaki though. (in the same book as Omars rubiyat) Poor bugger - was blind poet to the king and ended up dying in abject poverty, such is the way - probably be minted now f he had a penny for each printed copy of his stuff. Glad you liked it though. Cheers.
