"Alive without breath
As cold as death
Never thirsting, ever drinking
Clad in mail, never clinking.
Drowns on dry land
Thinks an island
Is a mountain,
Thinks a fountain
Is a puff of air
So sleek, so fair!
What a joy to meet!
We only wish
To catch a fish,
So juicy-sweet!"
-The Two Towers, J.R.R.Tolkien
I could make up all sorts of metaphors with cycling, but I really just like the word. That's all. Even this song is just a random connection. Sorry.
