Men are afraid to rock the boat in which they hope to drift safely through life's currents, when, actually, the boat is stuck on a... sandbar. They would be better off to rock the boat and try to shake it loose, or, better still, jump in the water and swim for the shore.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
I am a cowboy in the boat of Ra. Lord of the lash, the Loup Garou Kid. Half breed son of Pisces and... Aquarius. I hold the souls of men in my pot. I do the dirty boogie with scorpions. I make the bulls keep still and was the first swinger to grape the taste.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

To-morrow you shall find them stooping under the old pack-saddles. Yet let us enjoy the cloven flame whilst it glows on these walls.
