I'm partial to the Black Tower -- a cheap date if there ever was one.

On a par with Blue Nun, Piat d'Or and Mateus Rosé...

..."Water, water everywhere, Nor any drop to drink..."

( 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner', by Samuel Taylor Coleridge.)

Iron Maiden also put together a wonderful interpretation of it (if that's your kind of thing!)

Well that was most..."interesting"... Coleridge I am sure, would have enjoyed it... maybe for all the wrong reasons. Or possibly, the right ones...

As is well known, Samuel Taylor Coleridge was an opium addict. He took opium in the form of laudanum, that is to say tincture of opium in alcohol, which he drank by the pint.

Re: Attachment

Are we all not masters in the development of our own dissatisfaction?
If only there was some teacher or teaching that can justify the development of some attachments because without attachments what reason would our egos have to rule their imaginary kingdoms.
Why threaten a lifetimes devotion to dreaming when a Budddha's awakening offers little more than the loss of the only identity one's ever known?
