Another William Blake poem for you, sreenivas. its cute little: *INFANT JOY *
'*I have no name; I am but two days old.' What shall I call thee? 'I happy am, Joy is my name.' Sweet joy befall thee! Pretty joy! Sweet joy, but two days old. Sweet joy I call thee: Thou dost smile, I sing the while; Sweet joy befall thee! * On Sun, Mar 29, 2009 at 8:43 PM, sreenivas v.p <[email protected]>wrote: > why suprise ? > CPM is the only party in India which speaks for the basic issues of common > people . > "Thammil bedam Thomman" . > In the recent Rajastan assembly elections , CPM gained three seats which > were the result of working for the village people of Rajastan in drinking > water related issues .
