Midsummer

...Feels like a fire that burns in my heart
Every single moment that we spend apart
I need you around for every day to start
I haven’t left you alone
There’s something about you, I stare in your eyes
And everything I’m looking for I seem to find
All this time away is killing me inside
I need your love in my life...

- Glenn Lewis

Deserted Soldier Barracks of the Russian Empire in Kaunas

This is my second visit to one of the Russian Empire's soldier barracks in Kaunas. It's sad that Lithuanians do nothing to utilize the legacy left from the Russian Empire times.

20 years ago the Lithuanian Reconstruction Movement was started. However, many of the lessons which were to teach the Soviets yet were never really learned completely by the Lithuanians themselves.

The Stare's Nest by My Window

The bees build in the crevices
Of loosening masonry, and there
The mother birds bring grubs and flies.
My wall is loosening; honey-bees,
Come build in the empty house of the stare.

We are closed in, and the key is turned
On our uncertainty; somewhere
A man is killed, or a house burned.
Yet no clear fact to be discerned:
Come build in the empty house of the stare.

A barricade of stone or of wood;
Some fourteen days of civil war:
Last night they trundled down the road
That dead young soldier in his blood:
Come build in the empty house of the stare.

We had fed the heart on fantasies,
The heart's grown brutal from the fare,
More substance in our enmities
Than in our love; O honey-bees,
Come build in the empty house of the stare.

-- W. B. Yeats

Exams

When exams approach you always find so many things to do instead of preparing for the very exams. For example, some clean all the corners in their houses, some enjoy their beauty sleep, etc.
