(Im)mortality

If you have been checking the news for the past 30 hours or so, it's all about a wedding and a funeral.. ironic, isn't it? And I now know that Wordsworth's poem "Ode on Intimations of Immortality" (from which I quoted lines a couple of blogs earlier) will be recited at the royal wedding, which is an excellent choice of course.

While I was watching the live coverage on BBC, it turns out that apparently it's bad luck to dress in green on a wedding!!! (maybe just for the Irish as someone said)

Meanwhile, in the rest of the world, today marks the second anniversary of the fall of Baghdad and there were great demonstrations, while some are disputing whether or not the Israeli president shook hands with the Iranian president at the Pope's funeral!
