Quote:
LET the bird of loudest lay,
On the sole Arabian tree,
Herald sad and trumpet be,
To whose sound chaste wings obey.

But thou shriking harbinger,
Foul precurrer of the fiend,
Augur of the fever's end,
To this troop come thou not near!

Here the anthem doth commence:
Love and constancy is dead;
Phoenix and the turtle fled
In a mutual flame from hence.

So between them love did shine,
That the turtle saw his right
Flaming in the phoenix' sight;
Either was the other's mine.

Threnos (eulogy):
'Beauty, truth, and rarity,
Grace in all simplicity,
Here enclosed in cinders lie.

To the phoenix and the dove,
Co-supremes and stars of love,
As chorus to their tragic scene.

Leaving no posterity:
'Twas not their infirmity,
It was married chastity.

Truth may seem, but cannot be:
Beauty brag, but 'tis not she;
Truth and beauty buried be'
.

-Highlights from my favorite poem by Shakespeare, The Phoenix and the Turtle [dove], thought by some to be about Queen Elizabeth I and Robert Devereux (2nd Earl of Essex). In any case it is allegorically about the death of an ideal love.

ASD, unofficially on online tests: 38 of 50. I don't function well. The huge impact on my life affects me more than "38". "Other" confounds and compounds, as well as expectations from others who can't see it.

I've got a big problem with confidence, and if my mind isn't fully occupied I'll beat myself up over anything and everything. One of the two ways I've found that I can keep myself fully distracted is drawing really detailed pictures ...I started drawing in this dot style a few months ago and it really keeps my mind occupied ...maybe not a solution to the problem, just more of a coping mechanism but I think that's all I can hope for. Here is the drawing I'm currently finishing which I've spent the last 6 weeks on...

A very productive way to keep your mind occupied! I like the choice of subject for the dot method. Good work :)

this is a string structure of atomic binding of a carbon arrangement that would allow a cohesion that exceeds the the specifications required for gravitational increase in a spinning object who's increase in mass would not normally be enough to prevent extraneous destruction due to overwhelming angular momentum.
