And now for something completely daiin

[Jorge Stolfi <stolfi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

  O Daiin, Daiin!  Wherefore art thou Daiin!
       
             -- Shakespeare

             
           Daiin, Daiin, Daiin Dominus Deos...

                 -- the "Sanctus" from the Latin Mass.


    Tiger got to hunt,
    Bird got to fly;
    Man got to sit and wonder, "Daiin, daiin, daiin?"
    
    Tiger got to sleep,
    Bird got to land;
    Man got to tell himself, "I understand."

              -- Kurt Vonnegut Jr.

           The clock struck one,            Here a qoky, there a qoky 
           The mouse ran down,              Everywhere a qoky qoky

                        Daiin, daiin-d'amour vannée,
                            Jamais fanée,
                        Le rouge-fin est ta couleur,
                            O fausse-fleur!

                        Tutte in fila come fanti,
                        Una dietro, e l'altra avanti.

    O daiin, daiin, daiin amid the blaze of noon,
    Irrevocably daiin, total eclipse
    Without all hope of day!

            -- Milton, /Samson Agonistes/

 
                                  Oh, sheey.

          There was a young lady from Clyde
          Who ate a green apple, and died;
          Her lover lamented,
          The apple fermented,
          and made daiin oldaiin oldaiin.
