'Twas whispered in heaven, 'twas muttered in hell, / And echo caught faintly the sound as it fell; / On the confines of earth 'twas permitted to rest, / And the depths of the ocean its presence confessed.

END, n. The position farthest removed on either hand from the Interlocutor.
The man was perishing apace Who played the tambourine; The seal of death was on his face --
'Twas pallid, for 'twas clean.

IMPROBABILITY, n.
His tale he told with a solemn face And a tender, melancholy grace. Improbable 'twas, no doubt, When you came to think it out, But the fascinated crowd Their deep surprise avowed And all with a single voice averred
'Twas the most amazing thing they'd heard -- All save one who spake never a word, But sat as mum As if deaf and dumb, Serene, indifferent and unstirred. Then all the others turned to him And scrutinized him limb from limb -- Scanned him alive; But he seemed to thrive And tranquiler grow each minute, As if there were nothing in it.
"What! what!" cried one, "are you not amazed At what our friend has told?" He raised Soberly then his eyes and gazed In a natural way And proceeded to say, As he crossed his feet on the mantel-shelf:
"O no --not at all; I'm a liar myself."

Plasmas and LCD screens look great when turned on but when turned off, they are interior design eyesores, ... With the Gyre 6300, homeowners can transform their home theater into a warm living room. You'd never know that there was a complete entertainment center behind that bookcase.
