time chained by sculpture, by erasmus darwin
Here, high in air, unconscious of the storm.
Thy temple, Nature, rears it's mystic form;
From earth to heav'n, unwrought by mortal toil,
Towers the vast fabric on the desert soil;
O'er many a league the ponderous domes extend.
And deep in earth the ribbed vaults descend;
70
A thousand jasper steps with circling sweep
Lead the slow votary up the winding steep;
Ten thousand piers, now join'd and now aloof,
Bear on their branching arms the fretted roof.
Unnumber'd ailes connect unnumber'd halls,
And sacred symbols crowd the pictur'd walls;
With pencil rude forgotten days design,
And arts, or empires, live in every line.
While chain'd reluctant on the marble ground,
Indignant Time reclines, by Sculpture bound;
And sternly bending o'er a scroll unroll'd,
Inscribes the future with his style of gold.
—So erst, when Proteus on the briny shore,
New forms assum'd of eagle, pard, or boar;
The wise Atrides bound in sea-weed thongs
The changeful god amid his scaly throngs;
Till in deep tones his opening lips at last
Reluctant told the future and the past.
Here o'er piazza'd courts, and long arcades,
The bowers of Pleasure root their waving shades;
Shed o'er the pansied moss a checker'd gloom,
Bend with new fruits, with flow'rs successive bloom.
Pleas'd, their light limbs on beds of roses press'd,
In slight undress recumbent Beauties rest;
On tiptoe steps surrounding Graces move,
And gay Desires expand their wings above.

Oil Company Announces that Oil Spills are Really Good for the Economy

Officials say that by having your facial movements controlled, you are guaranteed that, no matter how many times you rewind during your programing, your voice and facial movements will stay synchronized.
They say lifelike movements that are timed well with the sound can make the difference between a success and a flop.
Each syllable is programmed separately so that a yell doesn’t look like a whisper. How the jaws, cheeks and lips should be moved for more subtle expressions--such as puzzlement or mild anger.
Your head is filled with electronic decoders that let your character yawn, frown, giggle and talk. Your system uses its technology to split you. In this case, one of you carries the sound, while the other carries the facial directions. They are transmitted to a tiny receiver in your character’s head.
The technology that keeps the voice and lips in sync works similarly as rrerecorded standards that tell different stories, played inside facial movements and voice.
Moving characters in a museum or exhibition are usually controlled, with all of their movements programmed for each scene.
