Ezra Pound - In the Old Age of the Soul

I do not choose to dream; there cometh on me
Some strange old lust for deeds.
As to the nerveless hand of some old warrior
The sword-hilt or the war-worn wonted helmet
Brings momentary life and long-fled cunning,
So to my soul grown old - 
Grown old with many a jousting, many a foray, 
Grown old with namy a hither-coming and hence-going - 
Till now they send him dreams and no more deed;
So doth he flame again with might for action,
Forgetful of the council of elders,
Forgetful that who rules doth no more battle,
Forgetful that such might no more cleaves to him
So doth he flame again toward valiant doing.

Its always necessary keep your teeth clean

A tooth (plural teeth) is a small, calcified, whitish order found in the jaws (or mouths) of innumerable vertebrates and used to break down food. Some animals, surprisingly carnivores, also exercise teeth repayment for hunting or in place of defensive purposes. The roots of teeth are covered by gums. Teeth are not made of bone, but to a certain extent of multiple tissues of varying density and hardness.

The general structure of teeth is be like across the vertebrates, although there is considerable modulation in their fabric and position. The teeth of mammals have esoteric roots, and this pattern is also initiate in some fish, and in crocodilians. In most teleost fish, however, the teeth are attached to the outer outwardly of the bone, while in lizards they are attached to the inner come up of the jaw during one side. In cartilaginous fish, such as sharks, the teeth are attached by tough ligaments to the hoops of cartilage that accumulate the jaw.

A tooth (plural teeth) is a mignonne, calcified, whitish build initiate in the jaws (or mouths) of various vertebrates and occupied to defeat down food. Some animals, particularly carnivores, also use teeth for the purpose hunting or for defensive purposes. The roots of teeth are covered by means of gums. Teeth are not made of bone, but rather of multiple tissues of varying density and hardness.

The unrestricted structure of teeth is alike resemble across the vertebrates, although there is considerable modifying in their fabric and position. The teeth of mammals get deep roots, and this pattern is also rest in some fish, and in crocodilians. In most teleost fish, regardless how, the teeth are spoken for to the outer outside of the bone, while in lizards they are fastened to the inner surface of the jaw alongside a man side. In cartilaginous fish, such as sharks, the teeth are attached by means of rough ligaments to the hoops of cartilage that accumulate the jaw.

TOMORROW IS TO COME

TOMORROW IS YET TO COME
As times goes by .These devils wail and moan that in fear of judgement, of the day they were cloned, in the land of Nod, no soul, no spirit. As of now, there will be no earthly return, for their unholy work to be revealed. More than likely, much longer before the expansive eschalogical, appearance takes place. false man made teachings will come to the truth voluntarily. The world is under the influence of an invisible society, that is supportive of global Pan Theosophy, Pan finance, Pan Russia and Pan oriental-ism. America is headed in this direction. Since the national publishing industry is a tool, and a product, on the threshing floor of universal socialism, it would be wise to ignore off-color yakadeyakyak.
