I am shut out of mine own heart...

I am shut out of mine own heart
because my love is far from me,
nor in the wonders have I part
that fill its hidden empery...

The wildwood of adventurous thought
and lands of dawn my dream had won,
the riches out of Faery brought
are buried with our bridal sun.

And I am in a narrow place,
and all its little streets are cold,
because the absence of her face
has robb'd the sullen air of gold.

My home is in a broader day:
at times I catch it glistening
thro' the dull gate, a flower'd play
and odour of undying spring...

The long days that I lived alone,
sweet madness of the springs I miss'd,
are shed beyond, and thro' them blown
clear laughter, and my lips are kiss'd...

And here, from mine own joy apart,
I wait the turning of the key: -
I am shut out of mine own heart
because my love is far from me...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have loved flowers that fade...

I have loved flowers that fade,
Within whose magic tents
Rich hues have marriage made
With sweet unmemoried scents:
A honeymoon delight,
A joy of love at sight,
That ages in an hour
My song be like a flower!.

I have loved airs that die
Before their charm is writ
Along a liquid sky
Trembling to welcome it.
Notes, that with pulse of fire
Proclaim the spirit's desire,
Then die, and are nowhere
My song be like an air!.

Die, song, die like a breath,
And wither as a bloom;
Fear not a flowery death,
Dread not an airy tomb!
Fly with delight, fly hence!
'Twas thine love's tender sense
To feast; now on thy bier
Beauty shall shed a tear.

B-RAP Highschool

This segment began some time in 2002, and is still continuing. The "B" in B-RAP stands for Black, Boy, and Beginner. The idea behind the segment was to discover the "best" of young Japanese rappers. Or, if you couldn't get the best rappers, at least get the most amusing ones. This segment started appearing almost weekly on Gakkou e Ikou!, impressive because the core rappers would appear with a new rap every time. They were even visited by ex-SPEED artist Imai Eriko, the infamous Komuro Tetsuya, and even Will Smith and Quentin Tarentino. All were quite polite, considering... Quentin just seemed to find the entire thing hysterical in its quirkiness. As the series progressed, all of the rappers slowly left the show until, really, the show became about funny parody songs.

"Nanshiki globe"

Basically meaning "Softball globe" or something similar, Nanshiki globe is the most infamous group in the B-RAP. Their entire act is a parody of the hot singing group "globe" and their old single "Love Again". The group is made up of female singer Koike (for globe's Keiko) and male rapper Park Manther (for globe's Mark Panther). But instead of being a normal song about love, it's a song about a guy (Park) who keeps chasing after girls and getting into stupid situations. For example, "On a date with her in Shibuya/A naked man came by/I decided to protect her/So I got naked, too~!" or "Every morning at 8 a.m./She's in the third train car from the front/It's our sweet time together/That's right, I'm a stalker~!" While Park does his insane raps, Koike tries to stay cool as she sings the main chorus, "Aho da na" (You're such a moron). To make things worse, or better depending, Park "dances" in the background the whole time. The basic effect is that of someone having a seizure while Koike attempts to sing. It's so incredibly strange, but SO funny at the same. Nanshiki is probably the most famous group of the B-RAP performers. To celebrate Komuro Tetsuya's marriage to Keiko, V6 crashed their post-wedding party and had Nanshiki globe perform for the REAL globe. Komuro-san seemed slightly embarrassed, but Keiko and Mark Panther got a kick out of it, so all was well.
