prologue

i will sing you a song
and take your heart with me
we will travel through the valleys, through
the passes of armenian highlands
carved by the rivers, kuras and araxes
we will sail the pontus, hugging its coast
our horses we will take, our chariots and spears
we will span the fingers of the chalkidice
towards iolkos and the thessalian plains
there we shall tame the centaur
and dance to the flute of marysas

We'll dance, we'll sing
and we'll celebrate friendship
hand by hand.

Merry Christmas, mr. u.
May it be filled with wonder and wondering.
`Do you know, I was so angry, Kitty,' Alice went on...`when I saw all the mischief you had been doing, I was very nearly opening the window, and putting you out into the snow! And you'd have deserved it, you
little mischievous darling!

thank you, and a merry christmas to you! it's a wonderful thing to share work with one another and know each other by our words - something poetic about that, i think.

Thx for the holiday greetings, Dino. I ain't been around here much lately but I caught your salutes tonight. To you too, Dino.
Doll, you may have found a place of rest but I'm still on the trail.
