For 50 years I have believed that Grenadine was made from cherries.  My Dad told me that.  I can't believe he lied to me!   :(  I wonder what other misbeliefs I hold?  My entire philosophy of life may be built on very shaky foundations.  :( :( :(

Anyone know a good shrink? :(

On First Looking Into Chapman's Homer

Much have I travell'd in the realms of gold,
    And many goodly states and kingdoms seen;
    Round many western islands have I been
Which bards in fealty to Apollo hold.
Oft of one wide expanse had I been told
    That deep-brow'd Homer ruled as his demesne;
    Yet never did I breathe its pure serene
Till I heard Chapman speak out loud and bold.
Then felt I like some watcher of the skies
    When a new planet swims into his ken;
Or like stout Cortez, when with eagle eyes
    He star'd at the Pacific
- and all his men
    Look'd at each other with a wild surmise -
Silent, upon a peak in Darien.

     -- John Keats
 
It's a conspiracy - bloody John Keats is in it too! :( :(
