A thing of beauty is a joy for ever:

Its loveliness increases; it will never

Pass into nothingness; but still will keep

A bower quiet for us, and a sleep

Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing.

Therefore, on every morrow, are we wreathing

A flowery band to bind us to the earth,

Spite of despondence, of the inhuman dearth

Of noble natures, of the gloomy days,

Of all the unhealthy and o'er-darkened ways

Made for our searching: yes, in spite of all,

Some shape of beauty moves away the pall

From our dark spirits. Such the sun, the moon,

Trees old, and young, sprouting a shady boon

For simple sheep; and such are daffodils

With the green world they live in; and clear rills

That for themselves a cooling covert make

'Gainst the hot season; the mid-forest brake,

Rich with a sprinkling of fair musk-rose blooms:

And such too is the grandeur of the dooms

We have imagined for the mighty dead;

All lovely tales that we have heard or read:

An endless fountain of immortal drink,

Pouring unto us from the heaven's brink.

 

EDIT: That's from John Keats. Look it up, Thurman. ;)

The only thing that I don't like about it is that it is one of their new "regional" covers. I hate that they do that now..........It used to be that the cover was the cover......Now the jinx can be diluted into as many as 6 different covers!

Scarrrrrrryyyyy! I think the last time we had the Bills on the cover of SI was the last time we beat the Pats, with Sam Adams rumbling, bumbling, stumbling towards the endzone. Hope it doesn't start another 15 game losing streak against the Cheatriots. It is a awesome pic though.

It seems that you are correct. Still cool though.
