New verse:
|
Upon the hearth the fire is red, |
|
|
Still round the corner there may wait |
|
Home is behind, the world ahead, |
How many preciouses does that make today, precious?
I agree...
The Dance is another song I have to stop everything to hear.
And of course, for a little wild side... you can't beat Thunder Rolls...
Heh, here's the translation. It's from a lied by Gustav Mahler that I played in my senior recital.
If you love for beauty,
Oh, do not love me!
Love the sun,
She has golden hair!
If you love for youth,
Oh, do not love me!
Love the spring;
It is young every year!
If you love for treasure,
Oh, do not love me!
Love the mermaid;
She has many clear pearls!
If you love for love,
Oh yes, do love me!
Love me ever,
I'll love you evermore!
We're talky today! Sheesh, we could be at 1k by lunch tomorrow.
Actually having the money to own houses in other countries or to fly somewhere whenever just seems...too much to me.
That's all.
Ah... then these lines make more sense than the google translation!
But ~many~? Who wants more than two? ;~D
You haven't really read Shakespeare until you've read him in the original Klingon.
I learned to country dance in college and through that learned to love country music. When my good buddy (folks thought we were siblings) found himself ~having~ to get married (hastily) I kind of lost interest.
Well, then I definately would have worked up. ;~D
I know... And really, I have a lot I should be doing.
You've got 3 out of 4. I got 200. ;-)
And on that note, I need to go get some lunch.
Shrug.
I figure, if you earned it or inherited it honestly, and it's not the focus of your life, there's nothing wrong with being rich.
And I'm joking, naturally. I'd get a kick out of flying around and living in lots of countries, but it's not something I'd need to do. I'll be perfectly happy with the same sort of comfortable life my parents have. (Though they've made several interesting trips in recent years)
For country, I really only know Garth. He was the only thing of value I kept from an old flame.
Well, with that reminiscence I'm off to the commissary...
I don't... keeps my mind off things like Harry Potter or flying home.
You know, for the record, we could've been close to 9,000 by now...
That's all I'm sayin'.
I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it...and I wouldn't mind some of the benefits. But there are also responsibilities that go along with it, IMO. Plus, like I said, things one has fought for just seem more special than those that come easily.
I'll cut out the philosophizing now...or whatever the right word is.
But it wouldn't have had nearly this much quality content.
That's all I'm sayin' ;~D
I found two volumes of Shakespeare plays in prose by Leon Garfield. Helps you know what the heck the Bard is saying! ;o)
