Heraclitus by William Johnson Cory, 1823-1892

They told me, Heraclitus, they told me you were dead,
They brought me bitter news to hear and bitter tears to shed.
I wept as I remembered how often you and I
Had tired the sun with talking and sent him down the sky.

And now that thou art lying, my dear old Carian guest,
A handful of grey ashes, long, long ago at rest,
Still are thy pleasant voices, thy nightingales, awake;
For Death, he taketh all away, but them he cannot take.

Beautiful.

I haven't got a TV in my bedroom either, but then I live alone so have no competition for the main TV.

I do have a tv in the bedroom but never use it .. is there if I ever get bedridden and want to use the DVD facility with it ..

I use my ipad as a TV so don't need one in my room. You can watch things live on iplayer as well.

**parkerman** · 08-02-2015, 12:36

Yes, I do that when I'm on holiday in foreign parts.

OK then, I'll change my previous statement of "Also, most people have TVs in their bedrooms surely?" to "Also, most people have some way to watch TV in their bedrooms surely?". Does that satisfy you pedants?

Very tactful Dazzle.
Shall I mention that that watching tv or
having a tv in bedroom disrupts sleep
patterns - per medical opinion!
No? I thought not! So I wont!

We have discussed this on another thread ;)

Watching TV will but simply having a TV in your room doesn't.
