A leopard will lurk near their towns because their transgressions are many, and their backslidings are increased.
How shall I pardon thee for this? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods:

Jeremiah 5:4-13:Therefore I said, Surely these are poor; they are foolish: for they know not the way of the Lord, nor the judgment of their God.
5 I will get me unto the great men, and will speak unto them; for they have known the way of the Lord, and the judgment of their God: but these have altogether broken the yoke, and burst the bonds.
6 Wherefore a lion out of the forest shall slay them, and a wolf of the evenings shall spoil them, a leopard shall watch over their cities: every one that goeth out thence shall be torn in pieces: because their transgressions are many, and their backslidings are increased.
7 How shall I pardon thee for this? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they then committed adultery, and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots' houses.
8 They were as fed horses in the morning: every one neighed after his neighbour's wife.
9 Shall I not visit for these things? saith the Lord: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
10 Go ye up upon her walls, and destroy; but make not a full end: take away her battlements; for they are not the Lord's.
11 For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me, saith the Lord.
12 They have belied the Lord, and said, It is not he; neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine:
13 And the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them: thus shall it be done unto them. [more]

God loves you and he wants you to love him back. And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea.
Go, take unto thee a wife of whoredoms and children of whoredoms: for the land hath committed great whoredom, departing.

2 The beginning of the word of the Lord by Hosea. And the Lord said to Hosea, Go, take unto thee a wife of whoredoms and children of whoredoms: for the land hath committed great whoredom, departing from the Lord.
3 So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; which conceived, and bare him a son.
4 And the Lord said unto him, Call his name Jezreel; for yet a little while, and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and will cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel.
5 And it shall come to pass at that day, that I will break the bow of Israel, in the valley of Jezreel.
6 And she conceived again, and bare a daughter. And God said unto him, Call her name Loruhamah: for I will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel; but I will utterly take them away.
7 But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will save them by the Lord their God, and will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by horsemen.
8 Now when she had weaned Loruhamah, she conceived, and bare a son.
9 Then said God, Call his name Loammi: for ye are not my people, and I will not be your God.
10 Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God.
11 Then shall the children of Judah and the children of Israel be gathered together, and appoint themselves one head, and they shall come up out of the land: for great shall be the day of Jezreel. [more]

Long After The Hours When Tradesmen Are In The Habit Of
Commencing Business, The Shutters Of A Certain Shop In The Town Of
Lymport-On-The-Sea Remained Significantly Closed, And It Became Known
That Death Had Taken Mr. Melchisedec Harrington, And Struck One Off The
List Of Living Tailors. The Demise Of A Respectable Member Of This Class
Does Not Ordinarily Create A Profound Sensation. He Dies, And His Equals
Debate Who Is To Be His Successor: While The Rest Of Them Who Have Come
In Contact With Him, Very Probably Hear Nothing Of His Great Launch And
Final Adieu Till The Winding Up Of Cash-Accounts; On Which Occasions We
May Augur That He Is Not Often Blessed By One Or Other Of The Two Great
Parties Who Subdivide This Universe. In The Case Of Mr. Melchisedec It
Was Otherwise. This Had Been A Grand Man, Despite His Calling, And
In The Teeth Of Opprobrious Epithets Against His Craft. To Be Both
Generally Blamed, And Generally Liked, Evinces A Peculiar Construction
Of Mortal. Mr. Melchisedec, Whom People In Private Called The Great Mel,
Had Been At Once The Sad Dog Of Lymport, And The Pride Of The Town. He
Was A Tailor, And He Kept Horses; He Was A Tailor, And He Had Gallant
Adventures; He Was A Tailor, And He Shook Hands With His Customers.
Finally, He Was A Tradesman, And He Never Was Known To Have Sent In
A Bill. Such A Personage Comes But Once In A Generation, And, When He
Goes, Men Miss The Man As Well As Their Money. [more]

Where did the Valkyries come from? We know them as avenging angel women. They wore bright armor and rode flying horses into battle. Well, there are many legends about them. Here is one more to add to the valkyrja lore. Working with myth, it is sometimes necessary to take liberties with historical folklore. Ok, ok, you got me. There are a lot of liberties taken with this book. In fact, this story does not take place on Earth; at least not what we know Earth to be. At the turning of an age, this world is struggling to oppose a dark force. The well named Dark Queen Magiya is waging war on the whole continent. If her war continues, then soon there will be only beasts inhabiting the world. A young woman, named Eleesa, begins her journey that will culminate in the showdown of ages. The Kingdom, or Queendom, she comes from is known as Bahl. It just so happens, the Dark Queen Magiya rules the land that Eleesa was born in. Eleesa must escape this place to find her true nature. She must first endure a series of tribulations. During her journey she will face a house filled with snakes, a jealous queen, and a mountain infested by bear men. She will meet a bundle of misfit companions along the way including; Diodo the Writer, Jaco/Marco, and even a venomous snake. Her counter-part, Queen Magiya, is busy waging war on the land. At the right hand of the Queen is a General named Hamo. He is a famous General caught between light and darkness. Will Eleesa survive? Will the Dark Queen take over the world? Will General Hamo find peace? You may not like the answer. The forces of light and dark will fight for the souls of those damned few caught in the middle. Enjoy this account of how the first valkyrja was born. [more]

"Dracula's Guest" follows an Englishman (whose name is never mentioned but is presumed to be Jonathan Harker) on a visit to Munich before leaving for Transylvania. It is Walpurgis Night, and in spite of the hotelier's warning to not be late back, the young man later leaves his carriage and wanders toward the direction of an abandoned "unholy" village. As the carriage departs with the frightened and superstitious driver, a tall and thin stranger scares the horses at the crest of a hill.
Upon reaching a desolate valley after a few hours, it begins to snow and as a dark storm gathers intensity, the Englishman takes shelter in a grove of cypress and yew trees. The Englishman's location is soon illuminated by moonlight to be a cemetery, and he finds himself before a marble tomb with a large iron stake driven through the roof, the inscription reads: Countess Dolingen of Gratz / in Styria / sought and found death / 1801. Inscribed on the back of the tomb "graven in great Russian letters" is: The dead travel fast.
The Englishman is disturbed to be in such a place on such a night and as the storm breaks anew, he is forced by hail to shelter in the doorway of the tomb. As the Englishman avoids the pelting hail, the bronze door of the tomb opens under his weight and a flash of forked lightning shows the interior - and a "beautiful woman with rounded cheeks and red lips, seemingly sleeping on a bier". The force of the following thunder peal throws the Englishman from the doorway (experienced as "being grasped as by the hand of a giant") as another lightning bolt strikes the iron spike, destroying the tomb and the now screaming woman inside.

The Following Extract From The _Espejo De Navegantes_, Or
_Seamen'S Glass_, Of Alonso De Chaves Serves To Show The
Development Which Naval Tactics Had Reached At The Dawn Of The Sailing
Epoch. The Treatise Was Apparently Never Published. It Was Discovered
By Captain Fernandez Duro, The Well-Known Historian Of The Spanish
Navy, Amongst The Manuscripts In The Library Of The Academy Of History
At Madrid. The Exact Date Of Its Production Is Not Known; But Alonso
De Chaves Was One Of A Group Of Naval Writers And Experts Who
Flourished At The Court Of The Emperor Charles V In The First Half Of
The Sixteenth Century.[1] He Was Known To Hakluyt, Who Mentions Him In
Connection With His Own Cherished Idea Of Getting A Lectureship In
Navigation Established In London. 'And That It May Appear,' He Writes
In Dedicating The Second Edition Of His _Voyages_ To The Lord
Admiral, 'That This Is No Vain Fancy Nor Device Of Mine It May Please
Your Lordship To Understand That The Late Emperor Charles The
Fifth ... Established Not Only A Pilot-Major For The Examination Of Such
As Sought To Take Charge Of Ships In That Voyage' (_I.E._ To The
Indies), 'But Also Founded A Notable Lecture Of The Art Of Navigation
Which Is Read To This Day In The Contractation House At Seville. The
Readers Of The Lecture Have Not Only Carefully Taught And Instructed
The Spanish Mariners By Word Of Mouth, But Also Have Published Sundry
Exact And Worthy Treatises Concerning Marine Causes For The Direction
And Encouragement Of Posterity. The Learned Works Of Three Of Which
Readers, Namely Of Alonso De Chaves, Of Hieronymus De Chaves, And Of
Roderigo Zamorano, Came Long Ago Very Happily To My Hands, Together
With The Straight And Severe Examining Of All Such Masters As Desire
To Take Charge For The West Indies.' Since Therefore De Chaves Was An
Official Lecturer To The Contractation House, The Admiralty Of The
Indies, We May Take It That He Speaks With Full Authority Of The
Current Naval Thought Of The Time. That He Represented A Somewhat
Advanced School Seems Clear From The Pains He Takes In His Treatise To
Defend His Opinions Against The Old Idea Which Still Prevailed, That
Only Galleys And Oared Craft Could Be Marshalled In Regular
Order. 'Some May Say,' He Writes, 'That At Sea It Is Not Possible To
Order Ships And Tactics In This Way, Nor To Arrange Beforehand So
Nicely For Coming To The Attack Or Bringing Succour Just When Wanted,
And That Therefore There Is No Need To Labour An Order Of Battle Since
Order Cannot Be Kept. To Such I Answer That The Same Objection Binds
The Enemy, And That With Equal Arms He Who Has Taken Up The Best
Formation And Order Will Be Victor, Because It Is Not Possible So To
Break Up An Order With Wind And Sea As That He Who Is More Without
Order Shall Not Be Worse Broken Up And The Sooner Defeated. For Ships
At Sea Are As War-Horses On Land, Since Admitting They Are Not Very
Nimble At Turning At Any Pace, Nevertheless A Regular Formation

' Echoes of Love '
Must I be Shakespeare to express our pure love
one which was definitely greater than life, our elixir
our magnum opus, transcendental and everlasting
We had it so good, enjoying each other seductively
best friends and lovers, or frivolous lovers and friends
difficult to say what was first, or rather both at once
Our love was the Sun splashing us most brightly
and the shimmering stars at fully luminescent nights
sending us ethereal kisses of genuine love incessantly
Our love were beautiful people smiling at us warmly
wishing us all the goodwills there are in the world
and we ourselves, fully united in each other as one
Everything was in place, rightfully and blissfully godly
flawless rivers of honey, seas of boundless beauty
biodiversity serving us as we doing our best for her
But when you went unexpectedly one day away
with no goodbye at all, not even a word of farewell
it was the end of the world for me, Hamlet alike
Stars crashed down on Earth the next moonless night
and I was swept fast away by raging tides of the sea
a castaway on the ocean, in its full and ghostly storm
I was myself a vulnerable bottle with a message inside
saying I love you till the end of the world and beyond
the bottle filled with the tears of my despair, your lover
And the scintillating echoes spread across the world
like the Brazilian tango on the Copacabana beach
just a walking distance from charming Rio de Janeiro
The echoes and echoes, and echoes, and echoes
like the Argentinian tango in elegant Buenos Aires
like the sparkling Parisian tango of truthful lovers
The echoes of tangoes, tinkling, hissing and ringing
whistling, buzzing, rattling, whizzing, jingling like bells
gorgeously dynamic on the streets and in ballrooms
The echoes never ending, in the breezes of winds
blowing ecstatically across vast lands and continents
and under the rhythmic and pulsating symphonic skies
One had impression one saw mysterious Amazons
on wild galloping horses, with manes like wings
seeming to fly in the air but these were just echoes
Echoes of love, passion, desires and ethereal dreams
but above all of the thundering iridescent tangoes
the tangoes of love, dreams which came true, of life
The rhapsodic tangoes in every corner of this world
Oh, long live love, long live tangoes of love !
May dazzling echoes spread you across the world !!
Love yourselves to your best, dear amaranthine lovers
spread your sensual love to every single individual
This world must become a planet of love, now !!
Dance in the various tangoes, whirling tangoes
Not only Argentinian tangoes but also salon tangoes
English tangoes, NeoTango, all the tangoes there are
Forget the sorrows of daily life, the ups and the downs
Give in into the rhythms of hilarious music and dance
and you shall see your loved one is back in your arms
Oh, play us angels music of Chopin and Mozart
play to the echoes of love [more]
