THE GIANT by: Charles Mackay

There came a Giant to my door,
A Giant fierce and strong;
His step was heavy on the floor,
His arms were ten yards long.
He scowled and frowned; he shook the
ground:
I trembled through and through;
At length I looked him in the face
And cried, "Who cares for you?"

The mighty Giant, as I spoke,
Grew pale and thin and small,
And through his body as 'twere smoke,
I saw the sunshine fall.
His blood-red eyes turned blue as skies:--
"Is this," I cried, with growing pride,
"Is this the mighty foe?"

He sank before my earnest face,
He vanished quite away,
And left no shadow in his place
Between me and the day.
Such giants come to strike us dumb,
But, weak in every part,
They melt before the strong man's eyes,
And fly the true of heart.

Hi C - I think the best way to download that header is to just put the cursor on it and then do a right click of your "mouse" it will give you a list. Double click on the funtion to save as a photo. Then you will go to the photo directory on your computer and pull it up before you then go under your 'customize' option on blogger and choose 'change header'.

Hope that helps! And I love that one. Its a totally benign choice for a background as well.
