WE CANNOT TARRY HERE...

Late last fall, Levi's started a campaign that completely captured me - I (heart) good advertising, esepcially advertising that only a select audience will actually pay attention to. This commercial is so dark and spooky, it draws you in and sort of scares you a little...like something serious might happen and you should pay attention, but beware!

MJ liked it too - the first time we saw the commercial, we took stabs at the author of this prose.

"Woody Guthrie" - my hypothesis (which I still think is a decent guess)

"Robert Frost" - MJ's answer (which is also pretty decent)

The correct answer? Walt Whitman.

Have you your sharp edged axes?

We must bear the brunt of danger.
