    Pregnancy, Childbirth, Post-Natal……..

    Incredibly difficult times for most fathers anyway.

    Until a mediaperson pointed out the mistake, the mother referred to shannon’s older brother as her ‘twin’ – thinking that’s what you called two children by the same father.

    now I know there’s ignorance but that’s just unforgiveable

    So that Wonka elevator went all the way to heaven, and only young Charlie got to run the magic sweet factory – sorry found salvation I mean.

    At best this is an extremely poor metaphor, at worst it makes less sense than wanting time travel in order to prevent an Elvis defecation.

    Something has ceased to come along with me.
    Something like a person: something very like one.
    And there was no nobility in it
    Or anything like that.

    Something was there like a one-year-
    Old house, dumb as stone. While the near buildings
    Sang like birds and laughed
    Understanding the pact

    They were to have with silence. But he
    Neither sang nor laughed. He did not bless silence
    Like bread, with words.
    He did not forsake silence.

    But rather, like a house in mourning
    Kept the eye turned in to watch the silence while
    The other houses like birds
    Sang around him.

    And the breathing silence neither
    Moved nor was still.

    I have seen stones: I have seen brick
    But this house was made up of neither bricks nor stone
    But a house of flesh and blood
    With flesh of stone

    And bricks for blood. A house
    Of stones and blood in breathing silence with the other
    Birds singing crazy on its chimneys.
    But this was silence,

    This was something else, this was
    Hearing and speaking though he was a house drawn
    Into silence, this was
    Something religious in his silence,

    Something shining in his quiet,
    This was different this was altogether something else:
    Though he never spoke, this
    Was something to do with death.

    And then slowly the eye stopped looking
    Inward. The silence rose and became still.

    The look turned to the outer place and stopped,
    With the birds still shrilling around him.
    And as if he could speak

    He turned over on his side with this one year
    Red as a wound
    He turned over as if he could be sorry for this
    And out of his eyes two great tears rolled, like stones, and he died.

    There is a Smile of Love.
    And there is a Smile of Deceit.
    And there is a Smile of Smiles
    In which these two Smiles meet.

    And there is a Frown of Hate,
    And there is a Frown of Disdain,
    And there is a Frown of Frowns
    Which you strive to forget in vain,

    For it sticks in the Heart’s deep Core
    And it sticks in the deep Back bone;
    And no smile that was ever smil’d,
    But only one Smile alone,

    That betwixt the Cradle and the Grave
    It only once Smil’d can be;
    But, when it once is Smil’d,
    There’s an end to all Misery.

    William Blake
