Flora--Was Bobbie Burns a songwriter too?
The entire "sifting and winnowing" quote pertains to truth. It comes from a brass plaque on Bascom Hall at the UW-Madison.
"Whatever may be the limitations which trammel inquiry elsewhere, we believe that the great state University of Wisconsin should ever encourage that continual and fearless sifting and winnowing by which alone the truth can be found"
This was written before former UW president Donna Shalala introduced the PC speech code so it may no longer apply.

-- Lars (larsguy@yahoo.com), December 23, 2000.
Yes-you must exercise your penis daily-without daily exercise the penis will shrivel like any other unexercised muscle.Now first thing. Let that blood flow and allow the organ to become fully engorged. Once fully engorged, one of the best exercises is to repeat what you do to the woman when you want to be "cute"-you know what I mean-that little up and down motion that you can do when you are showing how you can-uh-move it.
Now do 50 of those-that's right. Next you must then do the friction portion of the exercise. Choose a comfortable position and breath deeply and naturally. Grap the muscle with your favorite hand and move said hand up and down the muscle about 100 times.
You will see we are doing this in multiples, as that is always the best way to exerice. After 100 manipulations in this manner, you may then approach the wife. girlfriend, or apple pie in the kitchen for the last part of the exercise.
This is the portion of the program we call the 'ol in and out. Whatever target you have chosen, it is now time to insert the muscle into the receptacle, and the number of reps for this particular procedure is 300.
There should be an increase in the breath-do not be alarmed at this point if your breaths start to become closer together, and perhaps not as deep as before. This is normal. Just relax. If it hurts a little you know you are getting the optimal workout-especially with the apple pie.
You may find that the first few times you may not make it to 300; some people also may fall short of reaching the 150 reps in the second portion of the exercise. Do not be discouraged-as they say, the only way to reach carnegie hall is "practice, practice, practice". If you cannot reach 300-try again tomorrow. Either way, you will start to feel an immense amount of relief-Who thought exercise would be all pain and no gain?
You can do this every other day to start, but you may find yourself able to do this every day with some practice. As I said before, like anything else, you have got to exercise the muscle to keep it in top shape.
As with any other exercise regimen, please consult your physician before starting on this vigorous course.

A Few Hints concerning Donne's "The Primrose"....................................................................... ........
Love poetry and the Erotic Quest
In stanza 1, the poet puts primroses and women on the same level, thus punning on the nickname given to the flower, "true love" (8). There is another set of correspondences, namely the one that compares primroses to "the small stars (...) in the sky"(6). This is similar to Baudelaire's "correspondances", insofar as two natural elements are associated by means of a metaphor, "terrestrial galaxy" (5).
There is a more traditional element, with earth being referred to as a female element. The first four lines are a clear case of "symbolical copulation", so to speak:
Upon this primrose hill,
Where, if heaven would distil
A shower of rain, each several drop might go
To his own primrose, and grow manna so
If primroses are women, it is quite striking that raindrops should be referred to as male elements ("his own primrose", l.4). The use of the Biblical image "manna" in a distinctly non-religious context here is striking too, the first syllable of the word being a pun on "man", and the word as a whole sounding exactly like "manner". Last, not least, the liquid metaphor has clear sexual undertones.

Pushin' Too HardTHE SEEDS
(Sky Saxon 1966) ~
You're pushin' too hard, uh-pushin' on me
You're pushin' too hard, uh-what you want me to be
You're pushin' too hard about the things you say
You're pushin' too hard every night and day
You're pushin' too hard
Pushin' too hard on me (too hard)
"According to legend, Saxon scribbled down the lyrics to "Pushin' Too Hard" in a matter of minutes, while waiting for his girlfriend to come out of a supermarket. The song has been denigrated for its simplicity, but its ultracrude structure is actually its biggest strength. Andridge's almost tribal drum thumping and the basic, two- chord structure give Savage and Hooper an uncluttered backdrop on which to slop their brazenly primitive lead breaks, while Saxon belts out the frustrated lyrics with a babbling intensity that verges on the psychotic."
