Summary I, Robert B. Livingston, made this image from a photo I took myself. It is a picture of some clouds in the sky. It recalls to my mind the clouds on the album covers of John Lennon s Imagine and Live Peace in Toronto 1969. What I imagine is a world in which there are no more flags except perhaps a flag that when held up blends into the sky behind it in other words, represents a new allegiance to the world and the universe beyond not to any nation, state, tribe, or clan. If people carried such flags no one might be able to see them. Maybe then they would all be tossed down. And there would be no more flags or better, no more idolatry.

Sonnet 105 is one of The Sonnets 154 sonnets written by the English playwright and poet William Shakespeare . It s a member of the The Sonnets Fair Youth Fair Youth sequence, in which the poet expresses his love towards a young man. Synopsis The poet denies that his love is a form of idolatry and that the youth himself is an idol. He insists that he has been constantly devoted to the values of fairness, kindness and truth. Being three themes united in the figure of the youth, there is great scope for verse, since they have never been united in one person before. The language used is similar in some respects to the language in the Book of Common Prayer used to describe the Holy Trinity, and Shakespeare s triple repetition of the three attributes of the Fair Youth Three themes in one makes plain his deliberate comparison of the youth to a form of deity or idol, even as he purports not to engage in idolatry in the sense of polytheistic worship of idols .
