Roger Ebert in which he said "No good movie is too long and no bad movie is short enough."













 Noon's Intensity

Till your alchemic beams turn all to gold
There must be many metals. From the night
You will not yet withdraw her silver light,
& often with Saturnian tints the cold
Atlantic swells at morning shall enfold
The Cornish cliffs burnished with copper bright;
Till trained by slow degrees we have such sight
As dares the pure projection to behold.
Even when Sol comes ascendant, it may be
More perfectly in him our eyes shall see
All baser virtues; thus shall hear you talking
& yet not die. Till then, you have left free,
Unscorched by your own noon's intensity
One cool & evening hour for garden walking.

C. S. Lewis
