Strange verses

Item one: Random word I thought of. Thespionage. Is this the undercover slaying of actors/actresses by nefarious parties?

Item two: Guess where the following passage is from. Whoever gets it right will probably get linked to my blog. Dante's Purgatorio, canto XV, lines 1-15, trans. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.

 As much as 'twixt the close of the third hour

And dawn of day appeareth of that sphere

Which aye in fashion of a child is playing,

 

So much it now appeared, towards the night,

Was of his course remaining to the sun;

There it was evening, and 'twas midnight here;

 

And the rays smote the middle of our faces,

Because by us the mount was so encircled,

That straight towards the west we now were going;

 

When I perceived my forehead overpowerd

Beneath the splendor far more than at first,

And stupor were to me the things unknown;

 

Whereat towards the summit of my brow

I raised my hands, and made myself the visor

Which the excessive glare diminishes. 

 

Item three: a very poetic (in an odd political way) photo. This is not me but I wish it were.

Oops

The title of this blog is a wee bit misleading. The "pc" part normally stands for "politically correct ." I am the antithesis. Too lazy to change it now...

 Well, actually, I do want change in certain areas of society - less persecution of Christians by such organizations as the ACLU, for one. Fill in the blank. _____________

Intro post

This is my second blog. As such it will have secondary importance; I probably won't post on this much, except news items and random stuff. I am an LCMS Lutheran, conservative, and a pretty nutty aspiring biologist. Having several Muslim friends, I endeavor to show them the benefits of Christianity. If you want to go diatribe-happy in your comments, by all means go ahead. Just be warned that I will make a snarky comeback. (how I do love that word snarky! not a fake word either) Hang tight for seemingly random, biological, religious, and political posts.
