The Studio Gift

Thu, 05 Jan 2006 01:12:26 GMT

Finally-- at long last-- some peace and quiet.
Do you know what he gave me?
Better than a library, nearly.
A place of my own-- he fixed up a room entirely for me! A studio!
He wants me to stay at home and work just on writing-- which I'll gladly do!
He's finally making enough money so that I don't need to work, but hopefully some of my stories will sell. Oh god finally. I've always wanted a place like this.
For weeks he wouldn't let me go near the room, saying he was "working on it" and it was going to "be a surprise".
I was DYING to know what it was
And it's perfect.
I love love love love love it.

To One in Paradise

Sun, 15 May 2005 03:13:41 GMT

Thou wast that all to me, love,
For which my soul did pine--
A green isle in the sea, love,
A fountain and a shrine,
All wreathed with fairy fruits and flowers
And all the flowers were mine.

Ah, dream too bright to last!
Ah, starry Hope! that didst arise
But to be overcast!
A voice from out the Future cries,
On! on!-- but o'er the Past
(Dim gulf!) my spirit hovering lies
Mute, motionless, aghast!

For, alas! alas! with me
The light of Life is o'er!
'No more-- no more-- no more--'
(Such language holds the solemn sea
To the sands upon the shore)
Shall bloom the thunder-blasted tree
Or the stricken eagle soar!

And all my days are trances
And all my nightly dreams
Are where thy dark eye glances
And where thy footstep gleams--
In what ethereal dances,
By what eternal streams.

Denmark is chilly in the spring

Tue, 19 Apr 2005 21:40:00 GMT

My mistress sent me to the brook
Intending for me to fill a bucket.
I hated to shatter the glassy water with my pail
But lightly I dipped it in.
Delaying my return,
I sat to watch the ripples
When in the wetted glass I saw
A sea-nymph
Oceanid
Staring back at me.
Dark haired and fair
And silent
She rippled out a tear.
I could not bear to watch her cry
And so I rose to leave.
I turned around to see
The crying nymph
Standing terra firma.
Adorned in all measure of
Dead and dying flowers,
She sang a song of
Graves.
Handing me a columbine,
She turned her back
And walked along the bank.
I could not take my eyes from her
So wordlessly I watched.
Her song continued,
Soft and noxious.
A little way aslant the bank
She came upon a tree.
A willow, weeping
As the maid.
She had forgotten my company
And so began to climb.
She climbed and sang
And climbed and sang
And wept and climbed and sang.
One branch on which she sat
Was hanging over the stream.
Bending to embrace the water,
She looked into the brook.
As she did so,
Flowers fell:
First Daffodil
Then Hyacinth
And last Anemone.
They drifted downstream
Towards my discarded pail,
Borne on the back of the brook.
The trusted tree proved treacherous
And the silver bow began to break.
As the maid fell in the water,
A lament leapt from my heart.
Down went the nymph into the rivulet
Still singing.
The icy flow swallowed her
But she offered it no fight
And so downstream
The lovely girl,
Amidst her flora, floated,
Her tresses trailing all around.
Silently she slipped, sank, surrendered, slept.
Denmark is chilly in the spring.

Who are you?

Sanity.

Are you my thoughts?

Not yours.

Are you good?

There is neither good or bad, but thinking makes it so.

Though this be madness, yet there is method in’t.

That’s not your line.

Tell me something. Have an idea. A bright idea.

Have a bright idea.

He loves you.

He loves me?

He adores you.

He adores me?

He’s crazy about you.

Crazy?

I’m crazy.

Not yet.
He seem'd to find his way without his eyes;
For out of doors he went without their helps,
And, to the last, bended their light

on you.

Yes.

You love him.

Me?

Yes.

Him?

Yes.

Not I.

No?

Yes.

Yes?

No!

Not I.

The lady doth protest too much, methinks.

Do I love him?

Do you?

Do I?

That is the question.

That’s not the question.

He’s crazy about you.

He’s crazy.

You’re crazy.

Not yet.

raise your hand if you want him-- god knows i do!!!

"Why, Eric, run away with you? This is all so - so *sudden*..."

<3

Then come kiss me, sweet and twenty.

Tue, 15 Mar 2005 04:45:29 GMT

kisses kisses are so fun
let us all kiss everyone!

so here's a shakespeare quote that i think is AMAZING considering the whole eric thing:

"Knowing I lov’d my books, he furnish’d me
From mine own library with volumes that
I prize above my dukedom."

Take, O, take those lips away,
That so sweetly were forsworn;
And those eyes, the break of day,
Lights that do mislead the morn:
But my kisses bring again, bring again
Seals of love, but sealed in vain.

The lunatic, the lover, and the poet
Are of imagination all compact:
One sees more devils than vast hell can hold,
That is, the madman: the lover, all as frantic,
Sees Helen’s beauty in a brow of Egypt

shakespeare knows his stuff.
<3

so this made me laugh.

From the Calgary Herald, April 15, 1997.
Prime Minister Jean Chretien came within a whisker of calling for more drug trafficking between Canada and the U.S. yesterday. He didn't quite hear the question when a U.S. reporter asked him what he planned to do about the growing problem of drugs crossing the border. Chretien started to say that he hoped the traffic continues to rise - until President Bill Clinton whispered the key word was 'drugs.'
"Oh drugs - I heard 'trucks,'" said Chretien.

and then i found twenty bucks. good story, right? :P

i have decided that if your name is bill, YOU ROCK!!!
