About
Even This Shall Pass Away
by
Theodore Tilton
Once in Persia reigned a King
Who upon his signet ring
'Graved a maxim true and wise
Which if held before the eyes
Gave him counsel at a glance
Fit for every change and chance
Solemn words, and these are they:
"Even this shall pass away"
Trains of camels through the sand
Brought him gems from Samarkand;
Fleets of galleys through the seas
Brought him pearls to match with these.
But he counted not his gain,
Treasures of the mine or main.
"What is wealth?", the King would say.
"Even this shall pass away"
In the revels of the court
At the zenith of the sport
When the palms of all his guests
Burned with clapping at his jests
He amid his figs and wine
Cried: "Oh loving friends of mine!
Pleasure comes but not to stay
Even this shall pass away"
Fighting on a furious field,
Once a javelin pierced his shield.
Soldiers with a loud lament
Bore him bleeding to his tent
"Pain is hard to bear" he cried.
"But with patience, day by day
Even this shall pass away"
Towering in the public square,
Twenty cubits in the air
Rose his statue carved in stone
Then the King disguised, unknown,
Stood before his sculptured name
Musing meekly, "What is fame?
Fame is but a slow decay
Even this shall pass away"
Struck with palsey sere, and old
Waiting at the gates of gold
Said the King with his dying breath
"Life is done but, what is death?"
Then, in answer to the King
Fell a sunbeam on his ring
Showing by a heavenly ray
Even this shall pass away
That is my favorite poem

I DID IT! 
[center]Life will give what you what it chooses to. So, think hard and choose carefully 
I got my hair cut Jan 25th '09 and they straightened it. What do you think?
I seem to be feeling slightly philisophical today.
Anyways. What am I thinking? oy
How do I word this?
Ah, I think I've got it...
"Age is but a number" Whoever said that was a fool. I don't care if it was friggin Albert Einstein or Leonardo DaVinci.
They're wrong. How do I know this? I just turned 18 a couple months ago and now all I hear is "Ashley! You're 18 years old now! When are you going to grow up?!"
My answer is... I dunno
that's about it! XD
I got bored so I did these tests. I found them on my friend's profiles...

What type of Fae are you?
I feel a need to type what I'm thinking today. So, here it goes.
This is for my bestest friends. My cousin Sarah and Lady Serai
What is a true friend? Someone who has your back no matter what. They listen and tell you what they truly think or feel. That person will never make you feel bad for being yourself. They'll laugh and cry with you. They are a part of your heart, a surrogate sibling. And you can always give them a hug. lol
I love this song

Bye Love! C:
oh dats just my baby daddy biggrin lol
gasp! thats no good! *runs to the chalkboard and begins furiously drawing*
oh its simple actually. A cubic foot of wood, id imagine weighs about as much as 6 cheeseburgers (meteric - ChB) so you take something that ways approximately 6ChB and could be divided into 2 ChB every 4 hours which is by no means unattainable for a woodchuck! This is of course unless the woodchuck had bleeding ulcers and then we'd have to add in the "BlU" factor. Factoring that in would be a simply matter of multiplying the length of the ulcer by the radius and applying that number to the previous ChB equation. It gets complicated though if the woodchuck has bulimia or anorexia...other than that its pretty basic mathematics!
ok cuz im a good friend. im not gonna lead u to believe i even know him. lolz

OHAI!!! Well it'd certainly chuck ALL the wood if it only could!! but since it cant...id have to say it could certainly chuck at least a cubic foot of moderately thick wood within a 12 hour period! 3 cubic feet if the wood in question was balsa wood! ...and probably about 3/4ths a cubic foot if it was a good rich oak wood or a pine...
hehehe 4 now XD
dont ask me lol just am XD
