Then falls thy shadow, Cynara! the night is thine.

Longevity is something I never gave a second thought to. I guess it's the shadow of growing up in post WWII, but I never believed I would live past 20. Here I am though... a senior citizen... my voice and heart are stronger than ever, but boredom is the greatest enemy so I have to be careful not to slip over the edge.
Eric Burdon

Where the shadow of the bridge fell I could see down for a long way, but not as far as the bottom.

William Faulkner

The papists abuse this text, not only to the end they may commend feigned miracles, which they say are done at the graves of martyrs, but also that they may try and sell us their relics.
