When I was a girl by Nilus stream
I watched the desert stars arise;
My lover, he who dreamed the Sphinx,
Learned all his dreaming from my eyes
I bore in Greece a burning name,
And I have been in Italy
Madonna to a painter-lad,
And mistress to a Medici.
And have you heard ( and I have heard)
Of puzzled men with decorous mien,
Who judged - The wrench knows far too much-
And hanged her on the Salem green?

My site - loans for bad credit
look Mr Anonymous......I appreciate your comments, but in this current climate, I cannot promote a site, that offering loans, in a time of economic poverty. It must take great effort to write your comments, but I do not think they are necessarily in the best intention. I may be wrong , I may be right....they seem for all purposes to amount to spam. I have had several of you, and they tend to distract from what I am doin. So please refrain. Regards. Good luck, find an audience for your site by some other means. Thanks.
