Selene: Not at all. With all their misery, with all their sin, With all the elements of wretchedness That teem on that unholy world of theirs, They have one great and ever glorious gift, That compensates for all they have to bear - The gift of Love ! Not as we use the word, To signify mere tranquil brotherhood ; But in some sense that is unknown to us. Their love bears like relation to our own, That the fierce beauty of the noonday sun Bears to the calm of a soft summer's eve. It nerves the wearied mortal with hot life, And bathes his soul in hazy happiness. The richest man is poor who hath it not, And he who hath it laughs at poverty. It hath no conqueror. When death himself Has worked his very worst, this love of theirs Lives still upon the loved one's memory. It is a strange enchantment, which invests The most unlovely things with loveliness. The maiden, fascinated by this spell, Sees every thing as she would have it be: Her squalid cot becomes a princely home; Its stunted shrubs are groves of stately elms ; The weedy brook that trickles past her door Is a broad river fringed with drooping trees ; And of all marvels the most marvelous, The coarse unholy man who rules her love Is a bright being - pure as we are pure ; Wise in his folly - blameless in his sin; The incarnation of a perfect soul; A great and ever glorious demi-god !

The first 30 to finish with the fastest times: The Author begs you'll kind attention pay While I explain the object of his play. You have been taught, no doubt, by those professing To understand the thing, that Love's a blessing: Well, he intends to teach you the reverse - That Love is not a blessing, but a curse! But pray do not suppose it's his intent To do without this vital element - His drama would be in a pretty mess! With quite as fair a prospect of success, Might a dispensing chemist in his den Endeavor to dispense with oxygen. Too powerful an agent to pooh-pooh, There will be Love enough I warrant you: But as the aim of every play's to show That Love's essential to all men below, He uses it to prove, to all who doubt it, How well all men - but he - can do without it. To prove his case (a poor one, I admit), He begs that with him you will kindly flit To a pure fairy-land that's all his own, Where mortal love is utterly unknown. Whose beings, spotless as new-fallen snow, Know nothing of the Wicked World below. These gentle sons and daughters of the air, Safe, in their eyrie, from temptation's snare, Have yet one little fault I must confess - An overweening sense of righteousness. As perfect silence, undisturbed for years, Will breed at length a humming in the ears, So from their very purity within Arise the promptings of their only sin. Forgive them! No? Perhaps you will relent When you appreciate their punishment! But prithee be not led too far away, By the hack author of a mere stage-play: It's easy to affect this cynic tone, But, let me ask you, had the world ne'er known Such Love as you, and I, and he, must mean - Pray where would you, or I, or he, have been?

The Message/Chalk Board is one of the great V.I.P. Membership gifts this month. The Message Board is a fun way to play games, leave notes for your friends, let people know if you are AFK, tell people what you are trading for, and a million other creative uses! You will need to go and pick out the Message Board that best matches your style in the Gift Shoppe on Main Street in Victorian Age.Macaws are the members' gift for this month. These friendly birds, originally from Mexico and Central and South America are the largest members of the parrot family. They make fun, affectionate pets and love attention from their owners.Macaws are highly intelligent and with a little patience, you can even teach your Macaw to talk. Your Macaw already knows how to say a few words. To teach it to say more things, simply say your Macaw's name, followed by a word or phrase you want it to learn. If you repeat it enough times, your bird will learn to say it. For instance if your parrot is named Polly, and you wanted to teach it to say that it wants a cracker, you would say "Polly, Polly wants a cracker."You can also teach your parrot to respond to a phrase, for instance when someone says "Hi" and you want your parrot to respond, "Hello! How are you?" You would say, "Polly, Hi say Hello! How are you?" Or, if someone says "Who's a pretty birdy" and you want your parrot to respond "I am!! -hugs-" Just say "Polly, Who's a pretty birdy? say I am!! -hugs-" Remember you'll have to say what you want your parrot to learn a number of times before it will learn it. (Also, remember you are responsible for what your bird says, so be sure to follow the Constitution.)To ask your parrot to unlearn a sentence he has been taught, say:Polly you are getting sleepy forgetand then the sentence you want him to forget. You only need to ask your parrot once to forget something.For example, let's say your parrot's name is Polly, and you have taught your parrot to say "I want a cracker". To ask your parrot to forget that sentence, you would say:Polly you are getting sleepy forget I want a crackerRemember you should type the sentence which your bird has learned exactly.To ask your parrot to forget everything it has learned, say:Polly you are getting sleepy forget forget forgetBe very careful when using "Polly you are getting sleepy forget forget forget", because your parrot will forget EVERYTHING it has learned. Remember, you only need to ask your parrot once to forget something.You have four species of Macaws from which to choose: Military (green), Blue and Yellow (blue with yellow markings), Scarlet (red), and Hyacinth (blue). You will need to go and pick out your favorite Macaw in the Gift Shoppe on Main Street in Victorian Age. Macaws will be available starting Thursday, February 12th, 2009.Object of the GameCheckers is a two player board game where each player moves in turn. The object of the game is to capture your opponent�s pieces or move your pieces to block your opponent from making a legal move. You must move on your turn. The first player who can no longer move because their pieces are blocked or because all their pieces have been captured, loses the game.Playing BoardThe square checker board is divided into 64 squares. The squares are colored red and tan alternatively in the classic "checkerboard" pattern. Play is only on the green squares.Moving You start with twelve checkers colored either red or blue. Pieces are placed on the green squares on the board. The red player goes first and moves the red checkers. The blue player goes second and moves the blue checkers. A piece which is not a king can move diagonally forward one square. A king can move forward or backward. Pieces either regular or a king can only move to an unoccupied square. A move can also consist of jumps.Jumping:An opponent's piece or king can be captured by jumping,If your opponent's checker or king blocks your movement and there is an open space beyond it on that diagonal line in the next row, you must jump that piece. You can not jump over your own pieces.A regular piece can make a single jump only diagonally forward. A king can make a single jump diagonally forward or backward. For multiple jumps, a piece or king can change directions, first jumping diagonally one direction then another, jumping one piece at a time. You can not jump over a piece twice. You cannot stop part way through a multiple jump, but must jump all the options available. A regular piece or a king can jump a king.If you have more than one option to jump, you can choose the one you want. There is no requirement that you must chose a particular path based on the number and kind of pieces which can be taken.If you jump your opponent�s piece and the space you land on has the option of jumping an additional piece, you are required to jump and capture the additional piece.KingsOnce a piece reaches the other side, (the crownhead) of the board, it becomes a king. A king is able to move forward or backward diagonally and can jump. When your piece reaches the crownhead, it becomes a king and your turn is over. Even if you could continue and make another jump, your turn ends.Time LimitThe time limit for your move is one minute. If you do not move your piece within the one minute time limit, you forfeit the game.Checker RoomsChecker rooms are available upstairs in the Mercantile.If a game is in progress in a room, either the "way out" on the right side of the room or the left side of the room will take you to another checker room.
