Post 1: In the Beginning (because the words in my brain aren't flowing yet)

There were too many excerpts to choose from, so here they are:

In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree:
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea.
So twice five miles of fertile group
With walls and towers were girldled round:
And there were gardens bright with sinuous rills,
Where blossomed many an incence-bearing tree;
And here were forests ancient as the hills,
Enfolding sunny spots of greenery.
-from "Kubla Khan" by Samual Taylor Coleridge


You and me have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary, and the soles of your shoes
Are all worn down, the time for sleep is now
Its nothing to cry about because we'll hold each other soon
In the blackest of rooms

If heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied
And they illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you when your soal embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
Then I'll follow you into the dark
-from "I Will Follow You into the Dark" by Death Cab for Cutie
