In case any of you are in the South West corner of France on the 17th of
December, the ASPTT Toulouse would be very pleased to see you at the Cross
Country meeting we've organised for the last 15+ years.
Details here, in French (be kind to the webmaster, he spends too much time
on rec.running :-)

"O Gain that lurk'st ungain=E8d in all gain!
O love we just fall short of in all love!
O height that in all heights art still above!
O beauty that dost leave all beauty pain!
Thou unpossessed that mak'st possession vain,
See these strained arms which fright the simple air,
And say what ultimate fairness holds thee, Fair!
They girdle Heaven, and girdle Heaven in vain;
They shut, and lo! but shut in their unrest.
Thereat a voice in me that voiceless was:-
'Whom seekest thou through the unmarged arcane,
And not discern'st to thine own bosom prest?'
I looked. My clasp=E8d arms athwart my breast
Framed the august embraces of the Cross."
~ Francis Thompson,
"Desiderium Indesideratum"
