If you want to keep a familiar user experience kind of like windows, but still want to stick to Ubuntu (because it's the most popular and has the best support from third party companies like Valve), you can try Kubuntu (KDE), Xubuntu (Xfce), or Lubuntu (LXDE). That is actually in order of how "lightweight" they are. KDE is a full-featured but heavyweight desktop environment, Xfce is traditionally a lightweight environment that is cleaner and less complicated than KDE, while LXDE is newer and has slightly lower memory usage than Xfce.They're pretty close though. In mid 2011, Phoronix tested RAM usage, and came up with these averages in their test:KDE 4.4: 522 MBGNOME 2: 400 MBXfce 4.6: 342 MBLXDE 0.5: 311 MBIf I had to pick a desktop Linux distro to install today, it would either be Xubuntu 12.10 or Mint 14.1.
Thanks for the suggestion I think i will Setup like 7 vms p:) one for each distro and go to town, Then once i find one i like parition up my ssd and install, Unfortunetly finding out blizzard hates linux users in d3 means i have to keep a w7 just for d3ROFL This is funny i just downloaded 10 gig of actual Linux isos... I bet Out of all the folks who claim they downloaded a ton of linux isos i am one of the few to actually be telling the truth

Author has written 16 stories for Good vs Evil, Psych, Lewis, Professionals, Midsomer Murders, Lost In Space, Equalizer, Detectives, and Department S/Jason King.
The Most Important Reason to Write
For your own enjoyment — the joy of creation, the joy of reading the story you had to write because nobody else had done so until you came along. Don't write with any goal in mind except this one: to complete a story — a novel, a novella, a short story, a short short story — so that you can read it.
- dailywritingtips.com
My View Regarding Reviews/Comments
I don't write for reviews. I write because I love to write. So, if you don't review that's fine, I'm okay with it and I hope you enjoyed the story or stories you have read. And if you do review - thank you (I have a nasty habit of forgetting to respond to reviews).
My View Regarding Warnings:
I refuse to give a warning that will give away a major plot point. An example: if I write a death fic, I'm not going to warn you that it's a death fic. I mean, seriously, if the warning gives away the story, why bother reading it, you already know what's going to happen.
The Little Things:
Whump. I love wump. I live for it. Minor whump. Major whump. As long as it's believable. Angst. I love it. Slash. I don't do it. Nothing against it. Just doesn't interest me.
Current Project:
A Department S one-shot. Then perhaps, I may alternate between a Lost in Space fic and another Department S fic. All depends on what my wanker of a muse wants . . . will no doubt change his mind. Prat.
Current Fandoms:
Department S (Stewart Sullivan), The Detectives (Sergeant Chris Ballard), Lost in Space (Major Don West), The Equalizer (Mickey Kostmayer), Bonanza (Candy Canaday), Midsomer Murders (Sergeant Ben Jones), Psych (Detective Carlton Lassiter).

When I was a kid, I use to bung off school every Thursday afternoon so I could go home and watch Joel Fabiani in Department S. And re-watching the show now . . . I would still bung off school just to watch him.

text: |Some Christians struggle with doubts and dread the thought of participating in the Lord's Supper for fear of taking it unworthily. In this book, Arie Elshout provides tender encouragement to such sensitive souls. Distinguishing between the assurance of faith and the assurance of sense, Elshout reminds us that weak faith is faith nonetheless. Wise pastoral counsel is also given on areas of self-examination and the distinguishing marks of true grace. Here is a helping hand extended to all who are sorry for their sins and take refuge in Christ, and a reminder that the Lord desires to comfort and refresh penitent sinners with the gospel promises of His Table.

In years past, a squad of highly trained officers in the New Orleans Police Department took take dozens of guns off the St. Charles Avenue portion of the parade route alone – frequently right around the often-troubled corner of Erato Street.
In 2015, however, NOPD reports show that only three guns were taken off the Uptown portion of the route for the entire parading season – not counting the one allegedly used in the double murder of 21 year-old Peter Dabney and 22 year-old Ivan Williams during this year's Muses parade.
Less than two months ago, the weeds in the vacant lot the corner of Foucher and South Saratoga Street grew as high as the shoulders of the police officers who gathered there for an anti-crime march following the second of three fatal shootings there this year. Today, the overgrowth is gone, replaced by construction workers [...]
A proposal to renovate a blighted Carrollton storefront into a commercial kitchen expanded into far broader discussion Tuesday of how the rapid rate of development in New Orleans affects the city's long-time residents, but officials ultimately decided that those societal issues can't be saddled onto an individual business owner and voted in favor of the [...]

If you give a New Orleanian a festival, they will probably want some music to go with it. Without too much trouble, blues or brass ensembles will appear on a nearby stage and perform. And the New Orleanian will shake a leg, strut, and possibly queue a second line. This will surely take place outdoors, so, the New Orleanian will require loose fitting colorful clothing, hopefully some sunscreen, and ample regional fare found in fresh, seasonal food and craft beverages. But most importantly they will require dollar bills. Copious quantities of cold, hard cash. After all, even the free-est of festivals aren't really free, are they? Continue reading »

The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), led by its Chairman Justice K.G. Balakrishnan, on Wednesday "strongly recommended" that close relatives of death-row convict Devinderpal Singh Bhullar, undergoing treatment for mental illness, be given an opportunity to meet him.
The recommendation was sent to the Union Home Ministry, informed sources said.
Bhullar's wife Navneet Kaur and some others went to the NHRC as a delegation and made the plea. They also sought its intervention to commute the death sentence, upheld again recently by the Supreme Court, into life sentence.
Shiromani Akali Dal's (Badal) Delhi unit president Manjeet Singh and general secretary Manjinder Singh Sirsa joined her in the meeting.
In the petition, SAD (Badal) said the court's rejection of the plea to commute the death sentence was painful and unfortunate. The death sentence should not be carried out on the grounds of the health of Bhullar. The SAD (Badal) had resolved that rushing to carry out the capital punishment "in defiance of this basic humanitarian and legal consideration will send a wrong signal to people."
The court, while upholding the death sentence, had observed that long delay by the President or the Governor in disposing of mercy petitions of persons convicted under anti-terror laws or similar statutes could not be a ground for commutation of the death sentence.

Sacramento man arrested in Rocklin burglary
ROCKLIN, CA – Early Tuesday morning Rocklin police arrested a man in connection to a commercial burglary in the 4000 block of Granite Drive.
According to the Rocklin Police Department, officers observed a vehicle, driven by 46-yer-old Donald McGuckin of Sacramento, entering an alley behind a business at approximately 2:30 a.m. Tuesday morning.
When officers approached McGuckin he took off on foot. Officers established a perimeter in the area and eventually apprehended McGuckin in a nearby business complex.
Officers returned to the area where initial contact was made with McGuckin and discovered a front window to a business had been broken. It did not appear that the suspect was able to make entry into the business due to the officer's intervention.
A search of the suspect's vehicle turned up burglary tools and narcotics paraphernalia.
McGuckin was arrested for attempted commercial burglary, possession of burglary tools, and possession of narcotics paraphernalia.
Rocklin Police Detectives are continuing to work on the investigation.
Popular character actor Ed Lauter dead at 74
LOS ANGELES, CA – Character actor Ed Lauter died on Wednesday at the age of 74.
Having starred in scores of movies and TV shows and a career spanning 50 years, the veteran actor is known to many movie goers and television watchers.
According to Lauter's publicist he died of mesothelioma, which is a rare form of cancer most commonly caused by asbestos exposure.
During the 70's Lauter was Burt Reynold's nemesis in The Longest Yard and he was a gas station attendant in Alfred Hitchcock's The Family Plot.
Most recently Lauter was scheduled to play roles in several new movies including The Town That Dreaded Sundown, Becker's Farm and The Grave all slated to be released sometime next year. It's unclear if he completed shooting for any of those roles.
TV appearances included The Office, ER, Murder, She Wrote and The Rockford Files.
In an interview with Cinema Shock magazine in 2010 Lauter referred to himself as "turn" actor, going on to describe his characters as someone who shows up in the film and "turns" the plot in a different direction.

PHILIPPINES – A 7.1 magnitude earthquake struck central Philippines on Tuesday at around 8 a.m.
According to the USGS, the quake was centered 385 miles south-southeast of Manila at a depth of 12 miles.
There was glass and concrete in the streets of Cebu City, located 35 miles north of the epicenter.
There have been a number of aftershocks sending people into the streets, where it's considered safer.
Tuesday, people were celebrating Eidul Adha, a national holiday, with many people relaxing as the earthquake struck.
There was no tsunami warning issued, but the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center warned that earthquakes this large could cause tsunamis within 100 kilometers (61 miles) of the epicenter.

Joe and Elizabeth McDermott have breathed new life into what was a run-down boozer in the heart of Ilkley. The original stone-flagged floors, big open fires and beams remain, but the interior now comes with flashes of kitsch – standard lamps with frilly shades, for example. There's also a whiff of nostalgia about the menu, although old faithfuls are given an enterprising twist. A smokehouse out back does its job and the kitchen garden is in good shape: taste the results in a cracking platter of home-cured charcuterie (smoked sausage, rillettes etc) with pickles and delicious home-baked sourdough bread. To follow, Spanish pork, chicken and chickpea stew is an earthy, wholesome plateful, but leave room for the chocolate and hazelnut truffle cake or sticky toffee pudding. 'The Taps' also serves up pints of well-kept Timothy Taylor Landlord, and there's an affordable choice of wines too

Fishery Bulletin: Ecological Effects Of Bottom Trawling On Fish Habitat Along The Central California Outer Continental Shelf (Lindholm et al.)
A collaborative research study funded in part by the OPC, conducted by California fishermen, The Nature Conservancy and CSU Monterey Bay found negligible effects to the seafloor in certain types of "soft" sea bottom (primarily mud and sand) on the continental shelf off central California when using small footrope trawl gear. This study adds to a growing body of literature from around the world showing trawling impacts are context dependent—they depend on the type of gear used, the types of habitats trawled and how often trawling occurs. For more information please read the peer reviewed study here. The study does not imply that all soft-bottom habitats should be open to trawling but that, with new research and technology – there are mechanisms to fine-tune fishery regulations to protect vulnerable habitats while also help to sustain local commercial fisheries.

Adopted Final Version of "The California Collaborative Approach: Marine Protected Areas Partnership Plan"
OPC is thrilled to announce the adoption of "The California Collaborative Approach: Marine Protected Areas Partnership Plan" (Partnership Plan) at the December 2, 2014 OPC meeting. This plan outlines a partnership approach to managing California's network of MPAs among state agencies, California tribes and tribal governments, fishermen, non-consumptive recreational users, academics, federal and local governments, and non-profits. The California Collaborative approach is the commitment for all partners to work together in support of a healthy ocean, and to use the network of MPAs as a key feature in that effort. The final adopted version is now available here.
Highlights of December 2nd OPC Meeting
OPC takes significant action on marine protected areas and sea-level rise planning at its Dec. 2, 2014 meeting
The Council unanimously adopted the "The California Collaborative Approach: Marine Protected Areas Partnership Plan" as an overarching guide for how a variety of partners can engage in marine protected area (MPA) management. The Council also unanimously approved funding of seven competitive grants to provide funds for local and regional vulnerability assessments and updates to Local Coastal Programs to address sea-level rise, coastal hazards, and other climate change-related impacts. Lastly, the Council appointed two members to the OPC Science Advisory Team.

Meir Panim delivers warmth, special care to families in need.
Georgia Senator Saxby Chambliss is theoretically very vulnerable to a primary challenger in 2014, and his fate will depend on whether anyone is interested in taking him and take advantage of that vulnerability, Public Policy Polling reported on Tuesday.
PPP found that a mere 38% of Republican primary voters say they want Chambliss to be their nominee next year, compared to 43% who would prefer someone more conservative.
Chambliss is extremely weak with Republicans describing themselves as "very conservative" – 61% of those would like to replace him, compared to only 23% who would like to see him nominated again. He would trail Cain 68/19 with that group of voters.
By far and away the Republican who would pose the greatest threat to Chambliss in a primary, if he changed his mind about running, is Herman Cain. Cain would lead Chambliss 50-36 in a hypothetical match up. Cain has a 68/20 favorability rating with GOP primary voters, which compares favorably to Chambliss' 45/36 approval spread.

LEXINGTON, Ky. — Another championship banner has been unfurled at Rupp Arena.
Kentucky's basketball team returned home to its adoring fans Tuesday, after defeating Kansas 67-59 Monday night to win the school's eighth NCAA championship.
Blue-clad fans erupted into deafening cheers as the team pulled into the packed arena aboard a sleek blue bus emblazoned with "national champions."
It was a joyous curtain call for a team led by an immensely talented group of freshmen and sophomores. The NBA likely beckons next for many of them.
Each team member was introduced to loud ovations as players and coaches took the stage in the middle of the arena. Senior Darius Miller, a basketball net draped around his neck, toted the NCAA championship trophy to a table. Coach John Calipari pumped his fist and raised his arms in triumph as he basked in the cheers.
"You know why we won the national title? Folks, we have the best players and we have the best team," he said as the crowd erupted.
Calipari reminded the crowd that his goal three seasons ago when he took the Kentucky coaching job was to once again make the Wildcats the "gold standard" in college basketball and to raise more championship banners.
Then on cue, the 2012 title banner slowly unfurled from the rafters at Rupp as the Kentucky pep band played and fans cheered.
Calipari thanked the fans and said there were about 5,000 that welcomed the team at the airport and more lined the roads between the airport and Rupp Arena.
"You people never cease to amaze me," he told the crowd.

Next month, Volvo will reveal the all-new XC90. And it contains technology that will make it one of the safest cars on the road. Crashing, you see, deeply troubles Volvo.
Well, 'run-off road' crashing is the type that worries the Scandinavians the most. Apparently, half of all traffic fatalities in the US are 'road departure' accidents, caused by fatigue, driver distraction or just poor weather.
So Volvo's new XC90 will feature, as standard, run-off road protection: the XC90 detects what's happening in such an accident and tightens the safety belts while the car is in motion. There's also 'energy-absorbing functionality' between the seat and seat frame that shelters your spine if you have to make a 'hard landing'.
There's the more straightforward stuff like a lane keeping aid, driver alert control and even a 'rest stop guidance', while a further standard feature automatically brakes the XC90 if you turn in front of an oncoming car. You also get a queue assist feature (automatic driving in slow-moving traffic), and road sign info displayed on the dashboard. Helpful.
There are radars that can detect rear impacts and tighten the belts accordingly, there's roll stability (engine torque pegged back, brakes applied to counteract the roll), while airbags cover all three seat rows if indeed you do manage to roll it.
The whole car is stiffer and stronger than before, too. We're told that new XC90 uses five times more hot-formed steel than the first gen car (the safety cage is made of the stuff)
We've always known Volvo to be safety-first, but they've got particularly lofty ambitions. "In the short term, the aim is that by 2020, no one should be killed or injured in a new Volvo car," says Volvo.
That's some ambition. We'll keep you posted on its development.

This book was okay. Maybe better than okay, the writing is pretty good, but heck - I'm not a big mystery/police procedural/investigation kind of reader. And despite the fact that I read this for my sci fi/fantasy book group, that's all this is.
Yes, the premise is interesting: pre-apocalypse comet drama and the resulting mayhem as everyone looks death in the face. But sci-fi? I just don't think it counts.This is a murder mystery.
I liked the main character, and this was a quick, pleasant-enough read. I'm not interested enough to read further installments, though, even though the idea of what happens to society when it believes it's got a real expiration date is actually pretty interesting. Just not enough to drag me into reading another mystery.
I told a book group recently that I don't like mystery's. Well I admit that I need to rethink that. Obviously not all mystery's are created equal. What got me was the impending end of the world theme,but its not the story. There is a policeman. A murder. And in the back drop the inevitable. I was sucked in and could not stop reading until I finished the book. One of those shut yourself in a room, leave the husband and teenager to fend for themselves for a 24 hour time period page turner. I enjoyed this immensely. I have the next to books in the series on order. I kinda feel like a junkie and need my fix.

I have the next to books in the series on order. I kinda feel like a junkie and need my fix.
The mystery speciality bookstore in Winnipeg, Whodunit, had a recommendation for this series in their pre-Christmas newsletter. When I read the description I thought my sister would be intrigued by the book so I bought it for her as a Christmas present. She did like it and, thankfully, she loaned it to me to read. I thought it was a great read and I hope my sister will get through the rest of the books soon.
Hank Palace has just achieved his life-long dream of becoming a police detective. Since he is only 28 years old and had been on the Concord police force for only a few years this seems like a meteoric rise. But, in fact, his promotion is due to a meteor. An asteroid is due to hit earth in 6 months time and the impact will probably mean the end of life for most of Earth's inhabitants. Many people have given up their jobs; some people have killed themselves. That's what it looks like Peter Zell, an accountant with an insurance company, has done but Hank has his doubts. Even though it seems futile to investigate his death when everyone is going to die shortly Hank continues to look into it. Before he is finished there will be more dead and he will uncover more crimes.
It is really interesting to conjecture about the end of the world although I certainly hope I will never have to experience it. Since I am no longer working I wouldn't have to make a decision about a job. But what would I do if the world as I know it was going to disappear? Just think of all the books I would never have time to read! This book is a real page turner but it also gives you lots to think about.
I began reading The Last Policeman with seriously high hopes for the series. The idea of a asteroid connecting with Earth and destroying humanity is terrifying and thrilling. I really hoped that with this premise, along with a police mystery, would be an equation for an amazing story.
It was, but it wasn't. I was happy with the book and throughly enjoyed it, but it didn't blow me away either. Winters is an excellent author and did a great job creating the character of Detective Palace and setting the scene on which this story unfolds. Knowing this is a trilogy, I have to take that into consideration when I think back to the beginning of this novel. While reading, I felt that it just took much too long to get into the meat and potatoes of the story. I understand that in a series it is essential to lay a foundation on which the story can develop, but for me it was just a tad bit too much here. I struggled to get into the book and stay engaged.... that is, until I got about halfway through. THEN things picked up.
As Palace gets deeper into the mystery of his hanger, I couldn't put the book down. Once things really got moving, this novel had some serious heat. The asteroid was there, hanging out in the background, while this gigantic mystery begins to unfold... and then Winters throws in a small little tidbit of information that opens up a whole new can of worms.. and oh do I hope hope hope that this little tidbit of conspiracy theory is a big part of the rest of this series.
Winters may have bored me a bit in the beginning, but looking back with the lens of a series foundation, I get it and appreciate it. Once The Last Policeman got moving, I was caught in Winters grasp and am now waiting with baited breath for the next novel to come out.

Crash on I-95 leaves two vehicles in water-filled ditch
Date: January 21, 2013
by: The Observer Staff
(Click "Like" to become a fan of the Palm Coast Observer.)
UPDATED Jan. 22, in bold:
A Palm Coast driver side-swiped a bobcat tractor on Interstate 95 Sunday evening, causing both vehicles to drive onto the shoulder, through a screen fence and into a water-filled ditch, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
The report states that Robert Lewis, 35, of Palm Ctoast, was driving a Lincoln Continental north on I-95. Eric Whyne, 45, of Miramar, was driving a Freighliner. Lewis said that he was taking evasive action to avoid "a non-contact phantom vehicle that was approaching him from behind at what he perceived to be a very high rate of speed," according to the report.
Lewis was not under the influence of alcohol. The report originally showed alcohol was involved with Whyne, but the FHP later stated there was no alcohol involved. Both men were wearing seatbelts.
No charges are being filed. Whyne sustained minor injuries, and his vehicle sustained $40,000 in damages. Lewis' Lincoln had $5,000 in damage, but he was not injured.

Cosatu fires Zwelinzima Vavi
Allegedly the main reason for Vavi's expulsion was his "failure to to fulfill his duties as secretary".
Allegedly the main reason for Vavi's expulsion was his "failure to to fulfill his duties as secretary".
Cosatu's Zwelinzima Vavi will not be resigning and says he will return to the trenches to try and mobilise workers.
Jacob Zuma has admitted that the state of the ANC's leagues is a weakness within the organisation and has called on leaders not to interfere.
President Jacob Zuma has chastised leaders for sowing divisions within the tripartite alliance, and has called for a retreat to iron out the issues.
Saccawu is being sued for R30-million by its provident fund but has been given a last chance.
Matuma Letsoalo, Qaanitah Hunter
The trade union federation wants the government to fire senior fat cats to fund civil servant wage hikes.
Numsa may find a home at the other end of the political spectrum.
The statements "seek to distort the findings" of the report by the commissioner who was tasked to conduct an inquiry into the affairs of Pamodzi.
Cosatu admits it is facing financial difficulties, and is looking for long-term solutions to arrest the dire situation.
Cosatu's Bheki Ntshalintshali says the report also shows that the auditors had not been able to meet Zwelinzima Vavi, despite attempts to do so.
Cosatu general secretary Zwelinzima Vavi may feel the wrath of the union federation for not attending its central executive committee meeting.
Radical white students played an important role in opposing apartheid and paved the way for Cosatu.
Thulani Gqirana, Mmanaledi Mataboge
As the president's State of the Nation address draws near, the federation is asking for extra government spending to boost the ailing economy.
Most commentators have got the idea of the United Front wrong, and many important points from the national congress in December were overlooked.
Numsa's general secretary Irvin Jim reiterates that Numsa won't convert to a "political party", and will remain inspired by Marxism-Leninism.
Zwelinzima Vavi says union leaders must stop acting like bosses who can make decisions without touching base with their union members.
Cosatu's general secretary says the way towards unity is to have Numsa reinstated and to hold a special national congress "sooner rather than later".

Just for fun, I asked a couple of dog owners what they think their dogs might really want for a holiday gift this year.
Here's what they had to say:
[Read more…]
This Thanksgiving, we're especially thankful for our fans, customers, and their dogs. We asked people, "Why are you thankful for your pet?" and their beautiful responses are as follows:
[Read more…]
Dogs are bed-hogging creatures that embarrass us in public and are a ton of work. But we wouldn't trade them for the world!
As dog owners ourselves, we know how frustrating it can be to buy cheap products that break or wear out after moderate use. That's why we created dogIDs. Our sole purpose is to improve the lives of dogs, and with our high quality products, you can improve the life of your dog too! Learn how here:
If you're tired of being disappointed by big-name pet department stores, check out dogIDs. We truly believe in providing only the best for man's best friend!
It's crazy to think that Thanksgiving is peeking around the corner! Here at dogIDs, we are especially thankful for the pets and their owners that make it possible for us to do what we do every day. As a token of our appreciation, we'd love to give you a chance to win a beautiful canvas portrait of your pet, valued at $200! [Read more…]
I wanted to come up with a couple of easy tricks dog owners could teach their dogs of any age. The tricks are "speak," "play dead" and "roll over." These aren't necessarily the only ways to teach these commands, but hopefully they can help you brainstorm.
And let us know if your dog can do any fun tricks!
As a pet owner, this Thanksgiving, once again I am thankful to have happy and healthy pets. I can't imagine my life without furry companions in it.
When I sit back and think about the quirks of each of my pets, it's really interesting to compare my cats to my dog. Captain is my old man cat and is cranky, lazy and finicky, albeit a cuddle bug at night. Little Girl is young at heart, rambunctious, a little crazy and always into something.
And then there's Brick. He often sports his sad, gentle eyes during downtime, but mostly he is a happy dog.
Dogs have it right, don't they? Everything they do is their favorite thing.
With this in mind, I wanted to list the 5 life lessons we all can learn from dogs. [Read more…]
How did you go about choosing a trainer for your dog? Did you read reviews? Did you choose the trainer a friend recommended? Did you make your decision based on cost? We would love your feedback because choosing a trainer can be such an overwhelming process for new dog owners.
The following are some ideas from two professional trainers to hopefully help you make the best choice for your dog if you need help with training.
Also check out our post on common dog training mistakes.

The first five days after the weekend are always the hardest. On the plus side, you're probably handling Monday a lot better than these dogs are.
Disclaimer: This post may cause you to smile, even if your attitude is "anti-cheer-because-Monday-is-here." But that's okay. These dogs aren't feeling today, either:
1. This dog, who still hasn't woken up.

Jobless Claims Hold At Five-Year Low
By Mark Memmott
The number of first-time claims for unemployment insurance dipped by 5,000 last week from the week before, to 330,000, the Employment and Training Administration reports.
That means claims remain at a low level not seen since January 2008.
Another measure, the "4-week moving average" that is supposed to give a broader look at the trend, declined by 8,250 — to 351,750.
Bloomberg News cautions that the claims figures may be affected by "challenges in adjusting the data for swings at the start of a year."

Guide Prepared by Michael J. Cummings...� 2012
tone is dark and secretive.
Interpretation and Theme
.......Fatal love is the theme of the poem. De la
Mare compares the flame and the moth to lovers. Like a
man seeking the company of a woman, the flame invites
the moth—described as lovely (line 5), shimmering
with grace (line 6), and having glamorous
eyes (line 9)—to a midnight rendezvous. The moth
flies in an ecstasy to the flame. The poem does not
say what happens next. But one can assume that as she hovers near him, he
consumes her.
.......The poem can serve as a
metaphor for a romantic relationship between a woman
and a man who is wrong for her (or vice versa). The
man may have fire—a dynamic personality, a shiny car,
money, power, etc. But he may also have a dark side
that causes him to abuse his wife or even murder her.
.......The poem can also serve as
a metaphor for other types of relationships, such as
those between employees and employers. For example, a
high salary and prestige may attract a lawyer to a
particular firm, but the stress of the daily routine
and workload could debilitate or kill him over time.
.......Other examples of people
with a fatal attraction are alcoholics, gamblers, drug
addicts, and misers.
.......Stanza 1 begins with three introductory
phrases, then announces the presence of the flame in
line 4. Stanza 2 begins with two introductory phrases,
then announces the presence of the moth in line 3.
Line 4 of the second stanza introduces the third
stanza, which tells what the moth does after seeing
the flame.
.......De la Mare uses internal and end rhyme to
unify the images and harmonize the sounds. The rhyming
syllables include air
and stares;
bloom, glooming, swoon, and plumes; dye and eyes; grace and face; and mist and tryst.
in the midnight
Musked . . . . . . . . . . .
The flame cries, 'Come!'
Lovely in dye and fan,
in shimmering
A moth from her winter swoon
Uplifts her face:
