The Absent-Minded Buccaneer: October 2012
http://birdiewarbles.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 16, 2012. The Age of Not Believing. When you rush around in hopeless circles,. Searching ev'rywhere for someplace true,. You're at the age of not believing,. When all the "make believe" is through. When you set aside your childhood heroes,. And your dreams are lost upon a shelf,. You're at the age of not believing,. And worst of all, you doubt yourself. You're a castaway where no one hears you,. On a barren isle in a lonely sea,. Where did all the happy endings go? Truly wonderful in you.

A few years later, in 1963, she starred alo...
