Strangeness
Oct. 30th, 2016 12:25 pmThe clocks went back an hour. That means we have lost gained an hour of sleep. Still, i had a lie-in listening to BBC Radio 3 this morning (for a change) whom are celebrating 70 years of musical service. So since nine this morning it has been non-stop music without interruptions.
Last night i watched the latest Marvel movie Dr.Strange. It was the first time i went to the independent cinema in Sittingbourne above the Bingo Hall. There are two auditoriums so you have a choice of two films per evening.
Back to the film anyway. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Benedict Cumberbatch was brilliant in it. The special effects are just awesome. A cameo by Stan Lee did not go unnoticed. The ending might hint at another Dr.Strange film to come.
Here is an analysis of the ending - Spoiler alert if you nit d=seen the film yet.

Worth seeing i think.

Poems Of The Week
Oct. 30th, 2016 02:16 pmTwo more English Poets -
The Night Is Darkening Around Me
Poem by Emily Jane Brontë
he night is darkening round me,
The wild winds coldly blow ;
But a tyrant spell has bound me,
And I cannot, cannot go.
The giant trees are bending
Their bare boughs weighed with snow ;
The storm is fast descending,
And yet I cannot go.
Clouds beyond clouds above me,
Wastes beyond wastes below ;
But nothing drear can move me :
I will not, cannot go.
When I Have Fears
Poem by John Keats
When I have fears that I may cease to be
Before my pen has glean'd my teeming brain,
Before high-piled books, in charactery,
Hold like rich garners the full ripen'd grain;
When I behold, upon the night's starr'd face,
Huge cloudy symbols of a high romance,
And think that I may never live to trace
Their shadows, with the magic hand of chance;
And when I feel, fair creature of an hour,
That I shall never look upon thee more,
Never have relish in the faery power
Of unreflecting love; - then on the shore
Of the wide world I stand alone, and think
Till love and fame to nothingness do sink.
