Belleoram is a village on the shores of Fortune Bay in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador.
The community sits on a narrow strip of land hemmed in between the bay and steep hills that rise behind it. Belleoram has a large harbour and shelter from the sea, with the protection of a natural breakwater.
Belleoram dates back to 1774. The French used the area and called it "Bande de Laurier." By 1713, the Treaty of Utrecht had forced the French to leave. In 1718, Captain Tavenor sailed around the south of Newfoundland and called it "Belorme's Place." In the 17th century, a French adventurer wintered there for 20 years, and he was the first to name the community Belleoram.
A Dorchester man named Parsons, is said to be the first English settler in Belleoram, followed by another Dorchester man named John Cluett. Other people came from the west of England as servants to the early planters.
The Anglican Church in Belleoram, locally known as the "Cathedral of the South Coast" was built in 1891 and consecrated as St. Lawrence Church in 1901. The Church is representative of Gothic architecture, a style of architecture developed in Western Europe between the 12th and 16th centuries.
I am a theme park
Paolo Rumi
Here are my gates
Come into me
I'm a dream park
Here in the rain
Filling the waves
Troubling space
With my SOS
Down the parade
Over the sea
Come follow me
I'm a theme park
I'm a DJ
All through the night
Trying to be dumb
Asserting the right to be different
From everyone else
Seeking someone
To join me so we can be
Different
In the same way
Paolo Rumi
The minotaur guy
The labyrinth guide
On the mother of rides
I'm a theme park
Come step inside
Come be my bride
Frankenstein's just a working class guy
In the kitsch world of pop
His salvation
I am a dream park
I ride a white swan
On a black pond
On and on
Through the hot nights
Towards cities of papier mache
I'm a theme park
The bride was a man
The family planned
The three of us there in the ghost house
We're the deviant ones
The long way we've come
The burdens we've borne
Will one day be etched on our face
But not yet - we're still young
Too young to be crushed by the weight (of your
difference)
Of your difference from us
I'm a poem
J. Alfred Prufrock
Sinking my teeth in the peach
I am a dream park
Advertising
Learning to love the consumer society
I am a DJ
Filling the waves
Troubling space
With my SOS
I'm a DJ
From the revolution
Advertising
Emotional states
Trying to discover intelligent life upon Earth
someplace
(Trying to be dumb, trying to be bright)
I'm a DJ
All through the night
Trying to be dumb
Trying to be different from everyone else
Seeking someone to join me
So we can be different the same way
A theme park (here are my gates)
You have no choice
Here are my gates
