QUOTE (Richard Bercot @ Nov 6 2003, 01:33 AM)
When I'm old the cut me
And in a hole they put me
When I am three months old
They come looking me quite bold
Between fire and water the burn me
Between two irons the turn me
And when I'm stripped of my skin
They find a hole to put me in.

Hidi Hadi on the wall
Hidi Hadi got a fall
Three men and threescore
Wouldn't leave Hidi Hadi
As he was before.


Yesterdays Answer: A potato

Elspeth and maggiemahone1 guessed correctly.

A hopper o' ditches
A cropper o' corn
A wee brown cow
And a pair of leather horns.

Compassion is the sometimes fatal capacity for feeling what it is like inside somebody else's skin. It is the knowledge that there can never really be any peace and joy for me until there is peace and joy finally for you too.
- Frederick Buechner



If society prospers at the expense of the intangibles,
how can it be called progress?

Through a rock, through a reel
Through an old spinning wheel
Through a bag of feathers
Through an old mud wall
If that’s not a riddle
Ther’s no riddle at all.

"I am a Canadian by birth, but I am a Highlander by blood and feel under an obligation to do all I can for the sake of the Highlanders and their literature.... I have never yet spoken a word of English to any of my children. They can speak as much English as they like to others, but when they talk to me they have to talk in Gaelic."

-Alexander Maclean Sinclair of Goshen (protector of Gaelic Culture)

I washed my face in water
That was never rained or run
I dried it with a towel
That was never wove nor spun.


Yesterdays Answer: Oneself

In a marble hall
As white as milk
Lined with a skin
As soft as silk
Within a fountain
Crystal clear
A golden apple doth appear
No doors there are to this stronghold
Yet thieves break in to steal the gold.


Yesterdays Answer: Wash in the dew. Dry in the sun.
