Just finished Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
This is for all those who didn't make it to their "happily ever after."
Parable of Immortality
Author: Henry Van Dyke
I am standing upon the seashore.
A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze
and starts for the blue ocean.
She is an object of beauty and strength,
and I stand and watch until at last she hangs
like a speck of white cloud
just where the sea and sky come down to mingle with each other.
Then someone at my side says,
" There she goes! "
Gone where?
Gone from my sight . . . that is all.
She is just as large in mast and hull and spar
as she was when she left my side
and just as able to bear her load of living freight
to the place of destination.
Her diminished size is in me, not in her.
And just at the moment
when someone at my side says,
" There she goes! "
there are other eyes watching her coming . . .
and other voices ready to take up the glad shout . . .
" Here she comes! "
An excerpt of Judas' Death:
Christ, I know you can't hear me,
But I only did what you wanted me too.
Christ, I'd sell out the nation,
For I have been saddled with the murder of you.
I have been spattered with innocent blood.
I shall be dragged through the slime and the mud.
I have been spattered with innocent blood.
I shall be dragged through the slime and the mud!
I don't know how to love him.
I don't know why he moves me.
He's a man. He's just a man.
He is not a king. He is just the same
As anyone I know.
He scares me so!
When he's cold and dead will he let me be?
Does he love me too? Does he care for me?
My mind is in darkness.
God, God I'm sick. I've been used,
And you knew all the time.
God, God I'll never ever know why you chose me for your crime.
You're so bloody, Christ.
My thoughts: OH MY FUCKING GOD! SWEET MARY IN THE MANAGER!?!?!? SERIOUSLY, YOU'RE GOING TO TURN ONE OF THE GREATEST LITERARY CREATIONS SINCE DAVID COPPERFIELD AND JEAN VALJEAN INTO FUCKING ANAKIN SKYWALKER?!?!
Pissing and moaning for LILY EVANS!
Screw Severus' feelings: as a Snapefan: I feel used, sullied and dirty. Every self-respecting Sev fan should feel...violated. She took our Sevvikins, our black-clad bastard, and made him...human.
HOW DARE SHE!
