CROSSANS ~ Hellraisers of Castlemilk

Stark Raving Madness

	Love that is not Madness is not Love. Maybe that’s what Hell is.   You go Mad and all yourDemons come and Get you As fast as you canThink of them. "Love, with young people, is a heartless business. We drink at that age from thirst, or to get drunk; it is only later in life that we occupy ourselves with the individuality of our wine."   Isak Dinesen   "There's a Fire and a Motion of the Soul That does not dwell  in its own narrow Being, but aspires beyond the Fitting Medium  of Desire."   Lord Byron I walk the lonely path in dreamy steps, wondering what the future may well hold in store for me.     And often on the mountain in the old oak’s shadow, In the gathering sundown, I sit in sorrow.     There, amid the Scottish glen, where I could drink up the source of bliss.      That’s the ideal good my soul desires, nameless on earth, To which my heart aspires.    A return of happiness, forlorn hope? Perhaps among the crowd below, one soul ignored       Would understand my soul and respond?     Gotta get off, gonna get, have to get off from this ride. Gotta get hold, gonna get, need to get hold of my pride. When did I get, where did I, how was I caught in this game? When will I know, where will I, how will I think of my name? When did I stop feeling sure, feeling safe And start wondering why, wondering why? Is this a dream, am I here, where are you? What's in back of the sky, why do we cry. Gotta get off, gonna get off of this merry-go-round! Gotta get off, gonna get ,need to get on where I'm bound. When did I get, where did I, why am I lost as a lamb? When will I know, where will I, how will I learn who I am? Is this a dream? Am I here, where are you? Tell me, when will I know, how will I know When will I know why? Is this a Dream?         'But I don’t want to go among MAD people,' Alice remarked.   'Oh, you can’t help that,' said the Cat. 'We're all MAD here. I’m MAD. You’re MAD.'   'How do you know I’m MAD?' said Alice. 'You must be,” said the Cat.  'or you wouldn’t have come here.'”   ALICE IN WONDERLAND LEWIS CARROLL           Till strange love, grown bold ~ Think true love acted simple modesty. William  Shakespeare   A Trime For Us     My lady,   There are few more impressive sights in the world than a Scotsman on the make.   James M. Barrie     Sometimes I wonder if men and women really suit each other.   Perhaps they should live next door and just visit now and then.   KATHARINE HEPBURN       "Charm . . . it's a sort of bloom on a woman.   If you have it, you don't need to have anything else;     and if you don't have it, it doesn't much matter what else you have.   Some women, the few, have charm for all; and most have charm for one. But some have charm for none."   What Every Woman Knows James M. Barrie   It is best to Love wisely, no doubt;     But to Love foolishly is better than     Not to be able to Love at all.   William Thackeray   And let us mind, faint heart ne'er won A Lady Fair. Wha does the utmost, that he can Will shyles do mair.     Robert Burns           A Crossan   Love           Edge of Heaven     Fire! I can see it burning so brightly. Fire! I can feel it calling out to me.   And as the sun goes down,     It starts to paint a picture     Of an ancient town.     So far away, across the endless sea, Lead me to the light   And take me to the Edge of Heaven.   I’m standing in the night   Looking for the Edge of Heaven, We’ll be touching the Edge of Heaven. Time Close your eyes see dreams of tomorrow.     Time The wheels are turning till eternity.   And as the darkness comes,   I start to see a picture Of a lonely man So clearly now reaching out for me.   Lead me to the light...     And sail the endless sea.     So lead me to the light   And take me to the   Edge of Heaven.   A True Love of Mine     The Edge of Heaven is near,     We’ll sail the endless sea For always, forever, together.         Love, It can be like Heaven,
