THEY'LL NEVER QUENCH THE FIRE

THEY'LL NEVER QUENCH THE FIRE
(14th of Feb. MMXVIII - for how long has it been?)

Valentine five years ago,
make a blog of what I know;
Settled thus for literature at the end of the day.
Hatter's riddle, Edward Gorey,
Prince and Princess of Fourth Story,
young Lieutenant Bonaparte,
Oblivion's Fiancés...

(Interlude)

Ringstettens, Chamsous-Sabah,
Les Amis and Enjolras,
visual puns, rival brides,
suffering seen from both sides!
Lützen, War Without Tears,
right about to turn two years!
Scylla and Charybdis,
Évariste Galois!

They'll never quench the fire...
we will keep it burning
as long as we're yearning...
They'll never quench the fire...
They may try to fight it,
but we're here to light it...

Fawlty Towers, hot infusion,
scientific revolution,
mincemeat, Westeros,
Quintus Arrius...
Messengers made drunk, Jamiel,
Versace, Tangled's Rapunzel,
Luna Lovegood, Lizzie Hearts,
Burning Rose, and Polly Parts!!

They'll never quench the fire...
we will keep it burning
as long as we're yearning...
They'll never quench the fire...
They may try to fight it,
but we're here to light it...

Lensky, the Forget-Me-Not,
misheard lyrics, sauce that's hot,
Arthur Gray, Arbogad,
no Dark Tide for you: so sad!
Wallenstein against Tilly,
queer Count Jean de Satigny,
strychnine, Shutlight, Shutowa...
getting the Sun Dress-Up Key...

Henry Wotton, tennis balls,
and the Queen Beyond the Wall...
Adèle Montréville,
traitors that with kisses kill...
Double standards, Lands of Lore,
pomp and circumstance of war,
Ehud, Yael, Sisera...
Reeling and Writhing!

They'll never quench the fire...
we will keep it burning
as long as we're yearning...
They'll never quench the fire...
They may try to fight it,
but we're here to light it...

Fourth Centennial of Shakespeare,
fave characters, "Iago's queer!",
Red Riding Hood, Savitri,
the expanded Travesty!
Iceland, locusts down folks' throats,
fandom lyrics to old notes:
"Larvae of all stages!"
Kotler, Wickham, Anckarstjerna...

They'll never quench the fire...
we will keep it burning
as long as we're yearning...
They'll never quench the fire...
They may try to fight it,
but we're here to light it...

Hand in hand with Gwendoline,
bifauxnen, chronopes, eye-cut scene,
I love you and you love me,
Akira and Yukari.
Tywin of the Lannisters,
monsters shut in canisters,
Eugénie and Louise in flight,
the fiancé's deeds brought to light...

Genesis's Nursery Cryme,
Child Artist's mum saved in time,
Auld Lang Syne, Wild Azüre,
warm stories that reassure...
New script for Verdi's Othello...
2000 posts, my fellow!
Elysio, the Cures inside...
Twelve by Stagecoach, who'll decide?

They'll never quench the fire...
we will keep it burning
as long as we're yearning...
They'll never quench the fire...
but, when we are gone,
it will still burn on and on and on and on...

They'll never quench the fire...
we will keep it burning
as long as we're yearning...
They'll never quench the fire...
They may try to fight it,
but we're here to light it...
