Poem: "You Thought I Was That Type" by Anna Akhmatova





 

You Thought I Was That Type
by Anna Akhmatova

You thought I was that type:
That you could forget me,
And that I'd plead and weep
And throw myself under the hooves of a bay mare,

Or that I'd ask the sorcerers
For some magic potion made from roots and send you a terrible gift:
My precious perfumed handkerchief.

Damn you! I will not grant your cursed soul
Vicarious tears or a single glance.

 And I swear to you by the garden of the angels,
  I swear by the miracle-working icon,
  And by the fire and smoke of our nights:
   I will never come back to you.

Anna Akhmatova (1889 - 1966)

A dozen centuries-old shipwrecks some of them unusually well-preserved have been found in the Baltic sea by a gas company building an underwater pipeline between Russia and Germany, Swedish experts said Tuesday. The oldest wreck probably dates back to medieval times and could be up to 800 years old, while the others are likely from the 17th to 19th centuries, said Peter Norman, of Sweden's National Heritage Board.

Listening to: October Project's "Take Me As I Am" (video)






                  





Take me as I am
Someone you don't know
Even in the dark
You may not be sure
Take me while you can
I can see you standing in the smoky entrance
Giving up your good intentions

CHORUS
Leave the shadows dancing
Dancing on their own
Let the moment free you now
And leave it all behind you
I'll know where you've gone
Let the world go on

Take me as I am
I may disappear
Fade into the night
Lighter than your thoughts
Take me while you can
Never knowing who or what you are until you're
Living with the unfamiliar
CHORUS

There's a place where fear won't find you
Where your secret dreams remind you
This is all you have to know and
This is all you have to go on
Everything you have inside you
Everything you need to guide you
This is all you have to know and
This is all you have to go on

Take me as I am
Someone you could know
Even as we speak
You could change your mind
Take me while you can
Even if you shine a light into a mirror
You won't see me any clearer
CHORUS

Frosty the cat survives FOUR WEEKS in a chilled food warehouse... by eating frozen peas
05th March 2010

A lucky cat has survived after being trapped for four weeks in a chilled food warehouse - by eating frozen peas. The feline managed to survive temperatures of -2C (-28F) for a month in the warehouse before it was finally rescued by the RSPCA. The 12-month-old black and white tabby cat, who has been nicknamed 'Frosty' by RSPCA staff, is believed to have survived by eating frozen peas and licking moisture off icy food packets. However, Frosty did not manage to escape frostbite during his time in the freezing temperatures, and had to have both ears and his tail amputated following his ordeal at the frozen food distribution centre in Northamptonshire last month. He is now recovering at the RSPCA Woodside Animal Centre in Leicester and is expected to make a full recovery. RSPCA worker Rachel Allcock said: 'When he came into us he was pretty shy, which isn't surprising considering the ordeal he'd been through. 'He's a lovely cat and he's become very playful. We're looking forward to his full recovery and getting him to his new home.'

Frosty, who is believed to have been trapped in the warehouse after entering in the back of a lorry, was spotted by staff in the warehouse early last month but escaped numerous attempts to catch him. The large warehouse is maintained at a constant temperature with its main doors closed except when large articulated lorries arrive to deliver or remove palletised cargo. Staff believe Frosty may have been too frightened to leave when he had the opportunity because of the noise and activity around the main doors. A spokesman for the warehouse, which has not been named, said: 'We think he'd been in the warehouse for at least four weeks. 'He had been spotted on several occasions by staff but no-one could catch him. 'We have trucks coming in from all over. He could have come from anywhere. We have no idea. 'It's extremely cold in there. We were surprised that he survived. He's a very lucky boy. He was very frightened and obviously freezing cold. 'One of the lads here has offered to re-home him, so he will take him home as soon as he's well enough. 'A lot of people were really concerned about him and wanted to know how he was getting on so we're trying to organise a collection.' The RSPCA caught Frosty in a humane trap after leaving it overnight baited with cat treats, milk and water. RSPCA spokesman Steve Sellars said: 'It's incredible that Frosty survived for so long in such a harsh environment.'
