Thread Name: Naemanson to wed!
Subject: RE: Naemanson to wed!
I couldn't be more pleased for Naemanson, and at their partiuclar choice of each other.

I'm more concerned about their plan to relocate well beyond the borders of Maine by next fall. There's this haunting song echoing in my head that I heard Margaret Walters and John Warner recently sing in Australia, which sounded vaguely familar so when I got back I confirmed that Garnet Rogers as well as Bok, Trikett & Muir also sing versions; anyway the chorus runs:

For they marry and go as the world rolls back,
They marry and vanish and die;
But their spirit shall live on the outside track,
As long as the years go by.

It's part of a poem by Henry Lawson called "The Outside Track."
