This was on the Off-Topic board two weeks ago entitled 'if your life were a film'... what would the soundtrack be?
We also had one called about what your Biopic would be called.
The rain we knew is a thing of the past -
deep-delving, dark, deliberate you would say
browsing on spire and bogland; but today
our sky-blue slates are steaming in the sun,
our yachts tinkling and dancing in the bay
like racehorses. We contemplate at last
shining windows, a future forbidden to no one.
Derek Mahon
