not dead

I am not dead – in case anyone was wondering. I am just indisposed. Yes, this is the word.

If you are interested to know what tree I am, here it is:

Rowan Tree (The Sensitivity) -- full of charm, cheerful, gifted without egoism, likes to draw attention, loves life, motion, unrest, and even complications, is both dependent and independent, good taste, artistic,passionate, emotional, good company, does not forgive.

Strangest thing, it is absolutely no new for me – this horoscope was making round among my friend when we were in high school. I was surprised to see it here – like it makes the silly horoscope more real, because it exists in this world, too.

Surprise! I am posting again!

If you knew how many posts I made up in my mind, and then never wrote down, you would be amazed. Or not. But I can assure you, they were all smart and witty, and thought –provoking. Why then I post only boring stuff, and even that once a week? I should be writing more, you know.
Oh, well.

Does anyone know a poet Walter De La Mare? I liked his poems as a child – in Russian translation, of course. Suddenly I remembered about him, and I am now looking him up in the Internet, even though it is not in any way useful activity.

After one conversation with the_royal_anna I am rereading The Woman in White. First, I’ve read the introduction – the biography of Wilkie Collins, the history of the book, etc. The result? I am shocked. Those naughty Victorians, they don’t exactly fit into proper stereotypes.

A poem that I loved as a child

I saw a peacock with a fiery tail
I saw a blazing comet drop down hail
I saw a cloud with ivy circled round
I saw a sturdy oak creep on the ground
I saw a pismire swallow up a whale
I saw a raging sea brim full of ale
I saw a Venice glass sixteen foot deep
I saw a well full of men's tears that weep
I saw their eyes all in a flame of fire
I saw a house as big as the moon and higher
I saw the sun even in the midst of night
I saw the man that saw this wondrous sight

Well, I actually reed it like this: ( Read more... )

But it's cool both ways. ;)
