A Maiden Voyage

The world looked in awe - as the greatest ship was lounged.

How unsinkable and grand it was.

The bars were filled to the brim with many merry makers.

The rich held parties in the magnificent grand halls.

It was the honey-mooner's palace.

The maids served their mistresses and masters with exuberance.

The dazzling lights of the ship graced the dark sea in a way unknown.

Bang!

Who would have thought that an ice berg would bring her down?

Catastrophe struck!

More than a century later, weeping for the Titanic has barely seized!

A great reflective poem about a special moment in time.
Unsinkable is unthinkable for man made items will sink to the bottom.
Things that God has made are Heavenly and will always rise above all!

A ship was launched, and disasters never ceased.

Keen insight into the ambience of the Titanic's maiden voyage.

One of the most famous tragedies of the 20th century...perhaps the tempting of fate by naming it the 'unsinkable' didn't help....at the basis of it though was greed and negligence, and some bad luck thrown in there too....very, very sad...

That was one of the saddest event for the century. A happy event turned horribly wrong. Yes, we are still weeping for the dead even now.

A great reminder to all of us that how precious and fragile our lives are. Never go to bed being angry at someone because you may not have the chance to say you're sorry the following day.

Walden III: A Catholic America by Dr. Patrick ODougherty

This work is a recapulation of the Thoreau experiment in the modern context minus Thoreau's alienation. It opts for a Catholic land ethic.
