Is this the Tiny Tim you meant DB?



Tiptoe through the window
By the window, that is where I'll be
Come tiptoe through the tulips with me

Oh, tiptoe from the garden
By the garden of the willow tree
And tiptoe through the tulips with me

Knee deep in flowers we'll stray
We'll keep the showers away
And if I kiss you in the garden, in the moonlight
Will you pardon me?
And tiptoe through the tulips with me

Quote from: Don Basilio on 15:25:52, 24-12-2007
Christmas Carol[/i] is often blamed for the cosy, secular Christmas that is so common.  Although it has little grasp of theology, it has a very tough streak in it.
Agreed! The sort of 'tough streak' that Leavis didn't like (not sublimated enough?) - except in Hard Times ...

The city is a process which always veers away from the form envisaged and desired, ... whose revenge upon its architects and planners undoes every dream of mastery. It is [also] one of the sites where Dasein is assigned the impossible task of putting right what can never be put right. - Rob Lapsley
