Offline

My little laptop finally died. Too complicated to explain why, but I'll probably be offline for a few days.

The woods decay
The woods decay and fall
And after many a summer dies the hard drive.

You're so eloquent Fogg. What a wonderful eulogy for my well loved and now departed little machine.

I wish I could claim credit, but Tennyson wrote that quite a while back. Only it was 'swan,' not hard drive.

The poem is called Tithonus - about a man granted immortality but who forgot to ask for youth to go along with it.

Still a wonderful use of the words. :) And thanks so much for posting. I'm having serious issues that aren't likely to be solved for at least another week.

Tennyson is under-appreciated these days, I think.
