Piled Higher and Deeper
Time is relative. It twists, turns and stretches so that sometimes there is a blip in the continuum which like a shooting star inspires get reverence back through time and forward into the zone of twilight. A couple of destiny is just such a blip. What we can draw from literature and poetry to illuminate the soft, flickering glow of CHAIR? The following are just a sampling of the praise lavished on CHAIR by poets and writers decades and centuries ago in anticipation of this couple destined to be.
T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) offered us his opinion of the Chad & Blair relationship:
The CHAIR she sat in, like a burnished throne,
Glowed in the marble.
Ben Johnson (1573-1637) penned this poem about Blair and what she brings to CHAIR:
Queen and huntress, chaste and fair,
Now the sun is laid to sleep,
Seated in thy silver CHAIR,
State in wonted manner keep:
Hesperus entreats they
light,
Goddess, excellently
bright
Louis MacNeice (1907-1963) offered this poem that describes how Chad and Blair will come together to become CHAIR:
Time was away and somewhere else,
There were two glasses and two CHAIRs
And two people with the one pulse
(Somebody stopped moving stairs):
Time was away and somewhere else.
F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940) offered this advice to Gary Tomlin:
Listen, Little Elia: draw your CHAIR up close to the edge of the precipice and I’ll tell you a story.
