William Blake (1757-1823): Notebook 23: draft ms. When the voices of children are heard on the green: image by Dmitrismimov, 7 September 2014 (British Library)

When the voices of children are heard on the green,
And whisperings are in the dale,
The [desires del.] days of my youth rise fresh in my mind,
My face turns green and pale.

Then come home, my children, the sun is gone down
And the dews of night arise;
Your spring and your day are wasted in play,
And your winter and night in disguise.

 
William Blake (1757-1823): first draft of Nurse's Song (1794) from Songs of Experience

I'll bet the average income of a fan at a Warrior's game in Oakland is greater than that of a blazer's fan inPortland.

That may well be true hanf how would we really know, but the only person I know who has dubs season tickets is a part time chess teacher who lives in an eremite's shelter, and the only person I know of who owns blazers season tickets is the dude who owns microsoft... and my heavens, that is one canyonesque slack dropt jaw, as astonishing shot after astonishing shot goes in, and the air goes out of the room in a great swooshing evacuation. .

A great reckoning in a little room.

To shade from marxian into cosmokarmic terms for a moment, all that hideous microsoft product fairly cries out for historical retribution, of some sort, doncha reckon?
