What would the first line of YOUR opus be? (Vanity)

Posted on 07/03/2012 12:49:54 PM PDT by Luna

There have been some dull opuses here at FR. It’s no wonder they’re met with such contempt and ridicule by other Freepers. No one likes boring. We like to be entertained, for crying out loud! Opus people, if you’re going to write an opus, make it worth our while.

Yeah, I think so. I went back and checked the posting history.

It looks like the usual SOS.

I’d probably quote the entire John Whorfin/ Mussolini speech from Buckaroo Bonzai.

Kind of like failing trying to commit suicide...lol

Shouldn’t the question be, “Why have there been so many opuses?”

"THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated. Britain, with an army to enforce her tyranny, has declared that she has a right (not only to TAX) but "to BIND us in ALL CASES WHATSOEVER" and if being bound in that manner, is not slavery, then is there not such a thing as slavery upon earth. Even the expression is impious; for so unlimited a power can belong only to God."

-The American Crisis, December 23, 1776, Thomas Paine

The first line of my opus would be as follows:

"The snow-whipped landscape went on for as far as the eye could see. Morgan shouldered his M-16, knowing that there only was twelve minutes left until the boomer arrived. Soon, the ice began to crackle, then pop, then roar, as the submarine began to surface through the ice pack. Help had arrived at last."
