Baby von meinem Gehirn, hui!

Attention please.

"We'll fly over the doctor, over the soldier, over the farmer, over the poacher
over the preacher, over the gambler, over the teacher, over the writer
over the lawyer, over the dancer, over the voyeur, over the builder and the destroyer."
(Tonight We Fly, The Divine Comedy)
(All lyric pages say it is rambler not writer, but I definitely hear writer ... besides, there needs to be a writer.)

"Knowing her fate, Atlantis sent out ships to all corners of the Earth.
On board were the Twelve:
The poet, the physician, the farmer, the scientist,
The magician and the other so-called Gods of our legends."
(Atlantis, Donovan)
I could kill him for only naming 5.

"We find the barbarians of the coast of the Mediterranean regarding the civilized people of Atlantis with awe and wonder: "Their physical strength was extraordinary, the earth shaking sometimes under their tread. Whatever they did was done speedily. They moved through space almost without the loss of a moment of time." This probably alluded to the rapid motion of their sailing-vessels. "They were wise, and communicated their wisdom to men." That is to say, they civilized the people they came in contact with. 'They had a strict sense of justice, and punished crime rigorously, and rewarded noble actions, though it is true they were less conspicuous for the latter." (Murray's "Mythology," p. 4.)"

"These deities, to whom the affairs of the world were in trusted, were, it is believed, immortal, though not eternal in their existence. In Crete there was even a story of the death of Zeus, his tomb being pointed out." (Murray's "Mythology," p. 2.)

"These deities, including Zeus, were twelve in number: Zeus (or Jupiter), Hera (or Juno), Poseidon (or Neptune), Demeter (or Ceres), Apollo, Artemis (or Diana), Hephæstos (or Vulcan), Pallas Athena (or Minerva), Ares (or Mars), Aphrodite (or Venus), Hermes (or Mercury), and Hestia (or Vesta)." (Murray's "Mythology," p. 23.)

What, what?
Well!
What do you think, am I cracking? I've actually made a list ascribing the 12 Olympeans titles from Doctor to Destroyer. Most of them are not very plausible. They're all gone now, apart from one.


As you can see I'm hovering somewhere in a deep crack where the abyss of madness and the canyon of obsession meet. No honestly? It's not my fault. It's the method running wild. I cannot think any other way any more.

Just one more:

"I lost it all, All through my life there have been many rare and precious things I have tried to call mine. But I just cannot seem to keep hold of anything for more than a short time. Possessions of a sentimental kind. They were mine, now they're not."

"I passed through a sheepskin screen." (Lost Property, The Divine Comedy)
