Show me the steep and thorny way to heaven;
Whiles, like a puff'd and reckless libertine,
Himself the primrose path of dalliance treads,
And recks not his own rede."

BEAUTIFUL Hellon, I love it.

The dalliance of Delia did lead to her demise.
She is buried in a shallow grave never more to rise.
"Oh Jailer oh jailer you know I cannot sleep.
I know that what I planted, one day I will reap

Johnny Cash's Delia's Gone
"Delia, oh, Delia Delia all my life
If I hadn't have shot poor
Delia I'd have had her for my wife
Delia's gone, one more round Delia's gone
I went up to Memphis
And I met Delia there Found her in her parlor
And I tied to her chair
Delia's gone, one more round Delia's gone
She was low down and trifling
And she was cold and mean
Kind of evil make me want to Grab my sub machine
Delia's gone, one more round Delia's gone
First time I shot her I shot her in the side
Hard to watch her suffer
But with the second shot she died
Delia's gone, one more round Delia's gone
But jailer, oh, jailer Jailer,
I can't sleep 'Cause all around my bedside
I hear the patter of Delia's feet
Delia's gone, one more round Delia's gone"

For some reason this word makes me thing about the Dalai Lama, lol!

I could use a nice dalliance in my life :p

It reminds me of The Black Dahlia...

Mike, that's a Johnny Cash song?

Love him. Cool, I'll check it out.

If you have not watched his last vid "Hurt" It is a must for you Jane

I saw it a few years ago, but I'm going to watch it again now. It was Cash's last recording before his death, right? So sad...

I actually prefer Trent Reznor's version, maybe because it's more my generation. Both are great in their own ways.

June had already passed and he showed it to his daughter She said she did not like it because it seemed like a farewell. Johnny said he meant it to be

That breaks my heart :(

Now I'm watching that Johnny Cash video for the second time. Want to bawl.

Yup... watching it forced me to pick up my guitar and play it. Forgot I knew how.

"Hurt" by Johnny Cash is on of my favorite songs of his, that and "God's Gonna Cut You Down" and "I Won't Back Down".
