"Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay."

“That was a memorable day to me, for it made great changes in me. But it is the same with any life. Imagine one selected day struck out of it, and think how different its course would have been. Pause you who read this, and think for a moment of the long chain of iron or gold, of thorns or flowers, that would never have bound you, but for the formation of the first link on one memorable day.”

"You once told me
You wanted to find
Yourself in the world -
And I told you to
First apply within,
To discover the world
within you.
You once told me
You wanted to save
The world from all its wars -
And I told you to
First save yourself
From the world,
And all the wars
You put yourself
Through."

"If a bird may think, its thoughts are not so small,
For it may think of skies or hills or anything at all.
So a child may think, thoughts big and free and wide—
It's good for birds and children, thoughts need not fit inside."

Twinborn to the barren Sea,
Yet of all things fruitful we
Wait the end; and presently,
Lo, they are not! then to me
(Children to the nurse's knee)
Come the billows fresh and free,
Breathing Immortality."

"The sails unfurl
the cries ring in the air,
the ship is on the waves of curls.
Ship rides o’er seas of pearl
while dragon rests in lair,
the sails unfurl.
Setting off to lands of kings and earls
the sailors eat some pears,
the ship is on the waves of curls.
One seaman’s known to love a girl
one boy climbs up a mount, on dare,
the sails unfurl.
Some on the ship have seen Arur,
a family has a small pet bear,
the sails unfurl
the ship is on the waves of curls."

"If you ever go back into Wooley Swamp son you better not go at night
There's things out there in the middle of them woods
That'd make a strong man die from fright
There's things that crawl and things that fly
And things that creep around on the ground
And they say the ghost of Lucias Clay gets up and it walks around."

"Nature has a way sometimes of reminding Man of just how small he is. She occasionally throws up terrible offspring of our pride and carelessness to remind us of how puny we really are in the face of a tornado, an earthquake, or a Godzilla. The reckless ambitions of Man are often dwarfed by their dangerous consequences. For now, Godzilla - that strangely innocent and tragic monster - has gone to earth. Whether he returns or not, or is never again seen by human eyes, the things he has taught us remain..."

It never leaves. It’s always there, watching, steadfast, knowing us in our light and dark moments, changing forever just as we do. Every day it’s a different version of itself. Sometimes weak and wan, sometimes strong and full of light. The moon understands what it means to be human.
Uncertain. Alone. Cratered by imperfections.”

If I Can Stop One Heart From Breaking - Emily Dickinson
If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.

WHAT IS REALLY DIFFERENT ON BakesOnMesh Heads?
You can use the head with appliers and with system skins. By clicking button on HUD your head will tun into a BakesOnMesh Head so you can now apply a System skin on it. If you want to go back to normal applier option just apply a skin as applier on it.
[IMPORTANT ------- NEED TO BE ON BAKES ON MESH FRIENDLY VIEWER AND TO SEE THE BAKE ON MESH SKIN AND TATTOO YOU MUST TO TAKE OFF THE ALPHA HEAD!!!]
Now you can use Any tattoo layer to apply and overlay makeup and hairbase on your BakesOnMesh Head. Just add the tattoo makeup on it and it will show. As applier now you have on Head only: HD LIPSTICK, HD EYESHADOW, EYELASHES, EYES AND TEETH APPLIERS. All appliers made on those layers for Deluxe heads will now work also on Bakes,OnMesh Head.
About Eyes, you can use Akeruka appliers but they are also OMEGA Friendly, so just be sure to be using the Omega Relay 3.2. before to apply your Omega Eye applier.

Secret Hideout <3:
With flowing tail and flying mane,
Wide nostrils never stretched by pain,
Mouth bloodless to bit or rein,
And feet that iron never shod,
And flanks unscar'd by spur or rod,
A thousand horses - the wild - the free -
Like waves that follow o'er the sea,
Came thickly thundering on.
