“Reprise”
Just like the warbling sound of an Oriole twittering beyond the flowers,
each step she takes makes me tingle:
a waist just made for dancing, lovely and lithe,
a thousand kinds of alluring charms,
myriad kinds of graceful motions,
just like a weeping willow before the evening breeze.

I'll play. Truthfully from the closest book -- "On the above mentioned day all the ecclesiastics and the laymen in the district assemble; they have singing and high class music, and make offerings of flowers and incense... the elders and gentry of these countries have instituted in their capitals free hospitals, and hither come all poor and helpless patients, orphans, widdowers and cripples."

A nice partner to my previous one.
Anyone else wanna play?
I did.
Yay! I caught that over atcher site earlier today.
I posted mine on xtina's livejournal, just to be contrary. It was something from Tennyson's "In Memoriam." Why are we so insufferably psuedointellectual?
...I admit that it only won by 2 inches over "Peter gets the Chickenpox," but on the other hand, that doesn't make it to 123 pages, anyway.
Well that is where I stole it from after all so it seems apropo.
As to the other, well you just be liking that Tennyson don't you?
After that thing about the wolves I really should check it out, I really liked that.
If that makes me a pseudo intellectual I'll pay.
Besides if you grabbed the actual nearest book then let the chips fall where they may.
