Folly

And more recent ones, we had the Carbridge Garden up near Fenor.

We sang in the Folly there.

There were three of us that happened to be present at the same time.

And bathrooms in restaurants and hotels are a popular one.

I would buy myself a Cartier lighter.

That is the folly of youth.

And I was telling someone about this and they said, no, no, you should buy something that is small, that is bigger than And I don't always think bigger is better.

And this person said, jokingly, you should buy an Hermes Birkin bag.

the priority at all, but I thought to myself, you are correct.

I should actually invest all of the money I made into something that is really perfect to reflect my successes and also help me to make more successes in the future.

So back to the folly, I put the equivalent money of an Hermes Birkin bag into a folly.

It's not really a building.

The purchaser found a pleasant country, a beautiful park, but no place where he and his family could lay their heads.

So he proceeded to erect what the countryside called Cass's Folly, a true Moorish dwelling place such as one finds in Seville and Cordova.

A series of low buildings clustered round a central court, or as it would be called in Spain, a patio.

This, in deference to the English climate, had been roofed in with glass and turned into a winter garden.

I think that Arkadash probably liked you pretty well up until pretty close to the end.

Um, I think my favorite was, was Folly, because Folly should never have been our cat, and that is where we got Folly's name from, is that she had, she had made the folly of giving birth to kittens in my mother's garden, and my mother had toxoplasmosis that was causing eye vision deterioration, so she was like, "No cats.

Cats are not allowed near me.

I will call the pound and get them to come take them." [clears throat] And there was, that I knew of, no no-kill shelter in where we lived at that time.

The other three I had to take down to the no-kill...

the kill shelter in the hopes that they'd get adopted.

But we didn't take Folly, because she was feral, and we were worried that she would just be put down without even a moment, that they would just get her, be, be attacked by her, and be like, "Nope, this one's dead.

Just kill her." And we kept her for, I think even a year before, before she finally became normal, like, a, a socialized in the household, and I felt like it happened right when Dad and I had lost our patience with it.

My sketch of Seaforth and its neighbourhood would not be complete unless I say a word about several rather celebrated houses which existed in the district.

One was Seaforth Hall, long known as Muspratt's Folly.

Mr Muspratt, who built the house, and who lived and at the age of ninety-six died in it, had the prescience to see that the sandhills, which he bought for a nominal price, would some day become a part of Liverpool, and he had also the enterprise to erect one of the finest houses about Liverpool.

Another important house was Seafield, near Waterloo, the residence of Dr Hicks.

When to the top the bold adventurer's got, He reigns, vain monarch of a barren spot.

While in the vale of ignorance below, Folly and vice to rank luxuriance grow.

Honors and wealth pour in on every side, And proud preferment rolls her golden tide.

Churchill The lately departed minister of the borough, his soothing and supplicatory manners, his cool and timid affections, no praise due to such negative virtue, addressed to characters of this kind, the vicar's employments, his talents and moderate ambition, his dislike of innovation, his mild but ineffectual benevolence, a summary of his character, mode of paying the borough minister, the curate has no such resources, his learning and poverty, erroneous idea of his parent, his feelings as a husband and father, the dutiful regard of his numerous family, his pleasure as a writer, how interrupted, no resource in the press, vulgar insult, his account of a literary society, and a fund for the relief of indigent authors, and so forth.

The Vicar Where ends our chancel in a vaulted space Sleep the departed vicars of the place Of most all mention memory thought are past But take a slight memorial of the last To what famed college we our vicar owe To what fair county let historians show Few now remember when the mild young man Ruddy and fair his Sunday task began Few live to speak of that soft soothing look He cast around as he prepared his book It was a kind of supplicating smile But nothing hopeless of applause the while And when he finished his corrected pride Felt the desert and yet the praise denied Thus he his race began and to the end His constant care was no man to offend No haughty virtue stirred his peaceful mind Nor urged the priest to leave the flock behind He was his master's soldier but not one To lead an army of his martyrs on Fear was his ruling passion yet was love Of timid kind once known his heart to move It led his patient spirit where it paid Its languid offerings to a listening maid She with her widowed mother heard him speak And sought a while to find what he would seek Smiling he came he smiled when he withdrew And paid the same attention to the two Meeting and parting without joy or pain He seemed to come that he might go again The wondering girl no prude but something nice At length was chilled by his unmelting ice She found her tortoise held such sluggish pace That she must turn and meet him in the chase This not approving she withdrew till one came Who appeared with livelier hope to run Who sought a readier way the heart to move Than by faint dalliance of unfixing love Accuse me not that I approving paint Impatient hope or love without restraint Or think the passions a tumultuous throng Strong as they are ungovernably strong But is the laurel to the soldier due Who cautious comes not into danger's view What worth has virtue by desire untried When nature's self enlists on duty's side The married dame in vain assailed the truth And guarded bosom of the Hebrew youth But with the daughter of the priest of On The love was lawful and the guard was gone But Joseph's fame had lessened in our view Had he refusing fled the maiden too Yet our good priest to Joseph's praise aspired As once rejecting what his heart desired I am escaped he said when none pursued When none attacked him I am unsubdued Oh pleasing pangs of love he sang again Cold to the joy and stranger to the pain E'en in his age would he address the young I too have felt these fires and they are strong But from time he left his favorite maid To ancient females his devoirs were paid And still they miss him after morning prayer Nor yet successor fills the vicar's chair Where kindred spirits in his praise agree A happy few as mild and cool as he The easy followers in the female train Led without love and captives without chain Ye lilies male think as your tea you sip While the town small talk flows from lip to lip Intrigues half gathered conversation scraps Kitchen cabals and nursery mishaps If the vast world may not some scene produce Some state where your small talents might have use Within seraglios you might harmless move Mid ranks of beauty and in haunts of love There from too daring man the treasures guard An easy duty and its own reward Nature's soft substitutes you there might save From crime the tyrant and from wrong the slave But let applause be dealt in all we may Our priest was cheerful and in season gay His frequent visits seldom failed to please Easy himself he sought his neighbor's ease To a small garden with delight he came And gave successive flowers as summer's fame These he presented with a grace his own To his fair friends and made their beauties known Not without moral compliment how they Like flowers were sweet and must like flowers decay Simple he was, and loved the simple truth, Yet had some useful cunning from his youth; A cunning never to dishonor lent, And rather for defense than conquest meant.

For I should mourn the mischief I had done, If as the likeness all would fix on one.

Man's vice and crime I combat as I can, But to his God and conscience leave the man.

I search, a Quixote, all the land about, To find its giants and enchanters out: The giant Folly, the enchanter Vice, Whom doubtless I shall vanquish in a trice.

But is there man whom I would injure? No.
