Dylan Thomas Anyone?

Thanks for the negative comment whoever you were. Made my day. I guess you had to make your point too, but could not step out of the shadows of the the ones who gave you the right.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."[/FONT]

:confused: A poetry critic maybe? I for one see nothing offensive about it even though I disagree with your posts 98% of the time ;) Its a beautiful poem - I memorized it in college.
