Most of us return from the land of the faeries sadder but oh so much wiser and therefore happier for the experience. |

29 Jun 05 - 11:06 AM (#1512471) Subject: RE: Lyr Add: From (InOBU's) new CD - Faerrie Childe From: InOBU No... Guest, there is NO Amy Gray... Amy Gray is as much a myth as Santa Claus, and with lots less value as myth... it is a fictional song completely. Some who thought it was about someone, well they just don't know - you can't know from a distance who someone is, you always find out you are wrong when you turn things around, look at them up close and maybe come to understand a little and at least know how little you know. I suppose the flaw in the song, and it is a big one, is that if there is an Amy Gray out there, anyone who thinks they understand how another lives their life is a much an eejit anyone can be. lor |

I cannot hate you, for I loved you then. The woods were golden then. There was a road Through beeches; and I said their smooth feet showed Like yours. Truth must have heard me from afar, For I shall never have to learn again That yours are cloven as no beech's are -Edwin Arlington Robinson |

Paul Simon paraphrased it, or updated it, and made it into a song by the same name... Ah, but let us sing in praise of the light and good for awhile. :) lor |
