eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth

Posted on Fri, 09 Jan 2026

An eye for an eye only makes things worse ever, revenge achieves nothing, and it never brings healing, as the Lord says, "vengeance is mine".

Rhiannon do you know the poem "The poison tree" by William Blake?"

All the best! Tom

Sorry Di I honestly did not mean to criticise your work at all and I don't recall that I ever have. It is a great poem. But please keep in mind any good teacher knows one often learns more from your mistakes and by the way I'm also out of a job....

enough

Posted on Tue, 27 Aug 2024

You never know what is enough, untill you know what is too much / The road excess leads to the palace of wisdom.

I read these in poems of William Blake, in the proverbs of hell.

Good luck! Tom

The elephant and ant

Posted on Tue, 25 Jun 2024

The elephant and ant were walking together over the bridge, the ant said "We make this bridge shake hey?!"

We usually say an elephant "trumpets" or such, but you can say "roar" if you like why not?

Keep well, greetings from Africa!...

Yes

Yes. Beautiful ending, man's best friend. Heartbreaking sometimes we feel a duty for mourning. And indeed, it is much more noble to live for someone than to die for someone, sometimes living takes great courage.

Keep well Paul! Tom

No doubt inspired

Posted on Mon, 16 Mar 2020

No doubt inspired by Jules Verne's classic scifi novel 20,000 leagues under the sea. Also makes one think of Jacques C. and the research ship the Calypso.

Good work, original too! We are in, looking out, man and fish roles reversed! Who's...

Thanks Rhiannon, yes, that was what I meant with a guttural "g", pronounced as in "loch" but with a bit more force.

Guttural means "formed in the throat".

Keep well!
