In honor of our bass in the Messiah...
"Thus saith the Lord of Hosts, 'Yet once, a little while and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land; and I will shake all nations.'"
Whereas, were I a first tenor who had sung the Messiah five times (oh, wait...), I might prefer to quote:
"Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill made low, the crooked straight, and the rough places plain."
But, be ye bass or tenor, let us shake the face of Europe. All seismics succeed. Helgoland is augmented. The North Sea is diminished.
The F1903 deadline will be this upcoming Friday (Nov. 21) at the usual time (1000 CST). I will be away on Wednesday and Thursday.
