To see a world in a grain of sand,

And a heaven in a wild flower,

Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,

And eternity in an hour.

 

A robin redbreast in a cage

Puts all heaven in a rage.

 

A dove-house fill'd with doves and pigeons

Shudders hell thro' all its regions.

A dog starv'd at his master's gate

Predicts the ruin of the state.

 

A horse misused upon the road

Calls to heaven for human blood.

Each outcry of the hunted hare

A fibre from the brain does tear.

 

A skylark wounded in the wing,

A cherubim does cease to sing.

The game-cock clipt and arm'd for fight

Does the rising sun affright.

 

Every wolf's and lion's howl

Raises from hell a human soul.

 

The wild deer, wand'ring here and there,

Keeps the human soul from care.

The lamb misus'd breeds public strife,

And yet forgives the butcher's knife.

 

The bat that flits at close of eve

Has left the brain that won't believe.

The owl that calls upon the night

Speaks the unbeliever's fright.

 

He who shall hurt the little wren

Shall never be belov'd by men.

He who the ox to wrath has mov'd

Shall never be by woman lov'd.

 

The wanton boy that kills the fly

Shall feel the spider's enmity.

He who torments the chafer's sprite

Weaves a bower in endless night.

 

The caterpillar on the leaf

Repeats to thee thy mother's grief.

Kill not the moth nor butterfly,

For the last judgement draweth nigh.

 

He who shall train the horse to war

Shall never pass the polar bar.

The beggar's dog and widow's cat,

Feed them and thou wilt grow fat.

 

The gnat that sings his summer's song

Poison gets from slander's tongue.

The poison of the snake and newt

Is the sweat of envy's foot.

 

The poison of the honey bee

Is the artist's jealousy.

 

The prince's robes and beggar's rags

Are toadstools on the miser's bags.

A truth that's told with bad intent

Beats all the lies you can invent.

 

It is right it should be so;

Man was made for joy and woe;

And when this we rightly know,

Thro' the world we safely go.

 

Joy and woe are woven fine,

A clothing for the soul divine.

Under every grief and pine

Runs a joy with silken twine.

 

The babe is more than swaddling bands;

Every farmer understands.

Every tear from every eye

Becomes a babe in eternity;

 

This is caught by females bright,

And return'd to its own delight.

The bleat, the bark, bellow, and roar,

Are waves that beat on heaven's shore.

 

The babe that weeps the rod beneath

Writes revenge in realms of death.

The beggar's rags, fluttering in air,

Does to rags the heavens tear.

 

The soldier, arm'd with sword and gun,

Palsied strikes the summer's sun.

The poor man's farthing is worth more

Than all the gold on Afric's shore.

 

One mite wrung from the lab'rer's hands

Shall buy and sell the miser's lands;

Or, if protected from on high,

Does that whole nation sell and buy.

 

He who mocks the infant's faith

Shall be mock'd in age and death.

He who shall teach the child to doubt

The rotting grave shall ne'er get out.

 

He who respects the infant's faith

Triumphs over hell and death.

The child's toys and the old man's reasons

Are the fruits of the two seasons.

 

The questioner, who sits so sly,

Shall never know how to reply.

He who replies to words of doubt

Doth put the light of knowledge out.

 

The strongest poison ever known

Came from Caesar's laurel crown.

Nought can deform the human race

Like to the armour's iron brace.

 

When gold and gems adorn the plow,

To peaceful arts shall envy bow.

A riddle, or the cricket's cry,

Is to doubt a fit reply.

 

The emmet's inch and eagle's mile

Make lame philosophy to smile.

He who doubts from what he sees

Will ne'er believe, do what you please.

 

If the sun and moon should doubt,

They'd immediately go out.

To be in a passion you good may do,

But no good if a passion is in you.

 

The whore and gambler, by the state

Licensed, build that nation's fate.

The harlot's cry from street to street

Shall weave old England's winding-sheet.

 

The winner's shout, the loser's curse,

Dance before dead England's hearse.

 

Every night and every morn

Some to misery are born,

Every morn and every night

Some are born to sweet delight.

 

Some are born to sweet delight,

Some are born to endless night.

 

We are led to believe a lie

When we see not thro' the eye,

Which was born in a night to perish in a night,

When the soul slept in beams of light.

 

God appears, and God is light,

To those poor souls who dwell in night;

But does a human form display

To those who dwell in realms of day.

Marburger: During your tenure in the computer department at the Recorder's office, has the Recorder's office had photocopying machines?

 

Cavanagh: Objection.

 

Marburger: Any photocopying machine?

 

Patterson: When you say "photocopying machine," what do you mean?

 

Marburger: Let me be -- let me make sure I understand your question. You don't have an understanding of what a photocopying machine is?

 

Patterson: No. I want to make sure that I answer your question correctly.

 

Cavanagh: Dave, I'll object to the tone of the question. You make it sound like it's unbelievable to you that he wouldn't know what the definition of a photocopy machine is.

 

Marburger: I didn't ask him to define it. I asked him if he had any.

 

Patterson: When you say "photocopying machine," what do you mean?

 

Marburger: Let me be clear. The term "photocopying machine" is so ambiguous that you can't picture in your mind what a photocopying machine is in an office setting?

 

Patterson: I just want to make sure I answer your question correctly.

 

Marburger: Well, we'll find out. If you can say yes or no, I can do follow-ups, but it seems -- if you really don't know in an office setting what a photocopying machine is, I'd like the Ohio Supreme Court to hear you say so.

 

Patterson: I just want to make sure I answer your question correctly.

 

Cavanagh: There's different types of photocopiers, Dave.

 

Marburger: You're speaking instead of -- you're not under oath. This guy is.

 

Cavanagh: I understand that, but I understand what his objection is. You want him to answer the question, but I don't think it's fair.

 

Marburger: It's not fair?

 

Cavanagh: It's not a fair question. A photocopy machine can be a machine that uses photostatic technology, that uses xerographic technology, that uses scanning technology.

 

Marburger: I don't care what kind of technology it uses. Has your offices -- we don't have technocrats on the Ohio Supreme Court. We've got people like me, general guys --

 

Cavanagh: Objection.

 

Marburger: -- or gals. I'm not really very interested in what the technology element of it is. I want to know --

 

Cavanagh: That's what's at issue in the case, Dave.

 

Marburger: Not in my judgment. Do you have photocopying machines at the Recorder's office? If you don't know what that means in an office setting, please tell the court you don't know what it means in an office setting to have a photocopying machine.

 

Patterson: I would like to answer your question to the best of my ability.

 

Marburger: I'm asking you to answer that.

 

Patterson: So if you could explain to me what you mean by --

 

Marburger: I'm not going to do that because I want you -- I want to establish on the record that you really don't know what it is. I want to establish that.

 

Now, do you know what it is or do you not know what it is? Do you understand what that term means in common parlance or not?

 

Patterson: Common parlance?

 

Marburger: Common language.

 

Patterson: I'm sorry. I didn't know what that meant. I understand that there are photocopying machines, and there are different types of them just like --

 

Marburger: Are there any in the Recorder's office?

 

Patterson: -- there are different cars. Some of them run under gas power, some of them under electric power, and I'm asking if you could help me out by explaining what you mean by "photocopying machines" --

 

Marburger: That's a great point.

 

Patterson: -- instead of trying to make me feel stupid.

 

Marburger: If you feel stupid, it's not because I'm making you feel that way.

 

Cavanagh: Objection.

 

Patterson: I have self-confidence and I have no problem.

 

Marburger: I don't think you're stupid.

 

Patterson: I think -- I don't have any problem answering the question.

 

Marburger: I think you're playing games with me.

 

Cavanagh: Dave, the word "photocopying" is at issue in this case, and you're asking him whether something is or isn't a photocopy machine, which is a legal conclusion --

 

Marburger: This isn't a patent case. There's no statute that defines -- where I'm asking him to define technology for me. I'm asking -- I want to find out from a layperson's perspective, not an engineer's perspective, not a technician's perspective, but from -- I have an idea.

 

Marburger: How about this: Have you ever heard the term "photocopier" or "photocopy" used in the Recorder's office by anybody?

 

Patterson: Photocopy? I'm sure in the time I've been there someone has used the term.

 

Marburger: And have you ever heard them use it in referencing a particular device or machine within the Recorder's office? By way of example, "can you photocopy that for me?" That's an example of office parlance.

 

Patterson: That particular terminology I've not witnessed.

 

Marburger: What was the context that you've heard the term "photocopy" used in the Recorder's office?

 

Patterson: I'm sure it's been used. I didn't say I remembered a specific instance.

 

Marburger: All right. But you have a general understanding that people have used the term "photocopy" within the Recorder's office in terms of something that could be done there; is that true?

 

Patterson: I'm sure it's been used. I don't remember a specific instance or how it was used. I'm sure it's been used.

 

Marburger: And is it fair to say that it's been used in terms of being able to copy one piece of paper onto another piece of paper using a machine? No? Not sure of that?

 

Patterson: I'm sure it's been used. I don't recall a specific instance in which it was.

 

Marburger: Do you have a secretary?

 

Patterson: No.

 

Marburger: Does anybody there have a secretary?

 

Patterson: Yes.

 

Marburger: Have you ever heard a secretary use the term "photocopy"?

 

Patterson: No.

 

Marburger: Have you ever--do you have machines there where I can put in a paper document, push a button or two, and out will come copies of that paper document also on paper? Do you have such a machine?

 

Patterson: Yes, sir.

 

Marburger: What do you call that machine?

 

Patterson: Xerox.

 

Marburger: Xerox. Is the machine made by the Xerox Company? Is that why it's called Xerox?

 

Patterson: No.

 

Marburger: So Xerox, in the parlance that you've described, the language that you've described, is being used generically as opposed to describing a particular brand; is that right?

 

Patterson: All of my life I've just known people to say Xerox. It's not commonplace to use the terminology that you're using.

 

Marburger: You mean it's more -- people say Xerox instead of photocopy?

 

Patterson: If you're referring to a type of machine where you place a piece of paper on the top and press a button and out comes copies of it, they usually refer to it as a Xerox.

 

Marburger: Have you ever heard it referred to as photocopying?

 

Patterson: Not with my generation, no.

2011 is the year I vowed not to niggaprop anyone....

 

 

But all of the scrolling I have done on the last few pages is annoying as fuck.... Espc. on my iPhone.

I know it is nonsense, but most of it is just plain faggotry that deserves a heavy flow Casper tampon.
