Delerium feat. Sarah McLachlan
Give me release
Witness me
I am outside
Give me peaceHeaven holds a sense of wonder
And I wanted to believe
That I’d get caught up
When the rage in me subsidesPassion choke the flower
’til she cries no more
Possessing all the beauty
Hungry still for moreHeaven holds a sense of wonder
And I wanted to believe
That I’d get caught up
When the rage in me subsidesIn this white wave
I am sinking
In this silence
In this white wave
In this silence
I believeI have seen you
In this white wave
You are silent
You are breathing
In this white wave
I am freeIn this white wave
I am sinking
In this silence
In this white wave
In this silence
I believeI have seen you
In this white wave
You are silent
You are breathing
In this white wave
I am freeI am free
I am free
I am free

Prince Muishkin addresses General Epanchin in Dostoevsky’s understated masterpiece..THE IDIOT.
“This is not my own fantastical opinion — many people have thought the same; but I feel it so deeply that I’ll tell you what I think. I believe that to execute a man for murder is to punish him immeasurably more dreadfully than is equivalent to his crime. A murder by sentence is far more dreadful than a murder committed by a criminal. The man who is attacked by robbers at night, in a dark wood, or anywhere, undoubtedly hopes and hopes that he may yet escape until the very moment of his death. There are plenty of instances of a man running away, or imploring for mercy — at all events hoping on in some degree — even after his throat was cut. But in the case of an execution, that last hope — having which it is so immeasurably less dreadful to die, — is taken away from the wretch and CERTAINTY substituted in its place! There is his sentence, and with it that terrible certainty that he cannot possibly escape death — which, I consider, must be the most dreadful anguish in the world. You may place a soldier before a cannon’s mouth in battle, and fire upon him — and he will still hope. But read to that same soldier his death-sentence, and he will either go mad or burst into tears. Who dares to say that any man can suffer this without going mad? No, no! it is an abuse, a shame, it is unnecessary — why should such a thing exist? Doubtless there may be men who have been sentenced, who have suffered this mental anguish for a while and then have been reprieved; perhaps such men may have been able to relate their feelings afterwards. Our Lord Christ spoke of this anguish and dread. No! no! no! No man should be treated so, no man, no man!”
.. and Excellent Esme =D>

A powerful passage – and I agree with the narrative essence of THE IDIOT lingering for far too long (and indeed injudiciously) in the shadow of what would seem the more muscular CRIME AND PUNISHMENT.
Not to downgrade the brilliant latter of course :roll: ..Anyway, good show :wink:

It’s Bloomsday again people!
” When , lo, there came about them all a great brightness and they beheld the chariot wherein He shall ascend to heaven. And they beheld him in the chariot, clothed upon in the glory of the brightness, having raiment as of the sun, fair as the moon and terrible that for awe they durst not look upon Him. And there came a voice out of heaven, calling: Elijah ! Elijah ! And he answered them with a main cry: Abba ! Adonai ! And they beheld Him even Him, ben Bloom Elijah, amid clouds of angels ascend to the glory of the brightness at an angle of fortyfive degrees over Donahoe’s in Little Green Street like a shot off a shovel. “
