Pearl-stringing

Margaret, are you grieving?

On that day it shall be said to Jerusalem:
Fear not, O Zion;
let not your hands grow weak.
The Lord your God is in your midst,
a mighty one who will save;
he will rejoice over you with his gladness;
he will quiet you by his love;
he will exult over you with loud singing.

Where shall the word be found, where will the word
Resound? Not here, there is not enough silence
Not on the sea or on the islands, not
On the mainland, in the desert or the rain land,
For those who walk in darkness
Both in the day time and in the night time
The right time and the right place are not here
No place of grace for those who avoid the face
No time to rejoice for those who walk among noise and deny
the voice

You have never talked to a mere mortal.

Aunque la mona se viste la seda, mona se queda.

"Honourable Father, very good; Honourable Son, very good; but Honourable Bird I do not understand at all."

Even in Kyoto--
hearing the cuckoo's cry--
I long for Kyoto.

Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.

Bonus est.

Oh! Heh, I get the title now. I was thinking, that's like Elliot, that's like Lewis!

I think I is a bit slow on the uptake. ;)

Love you!
