Now Sleeps the Crimson Petal
i just felt like putting it up. this is the most beautiful poem i have ever read. and since the film Vanity Fair came out, also the most beautiful song. that is one part of the movie that i will rewind 10 times to watch again, just because of the song...
Now sleeps the crimson petal, now the white
nor waves the cypress in the palace walk
nor winks the goldfin in the porphry light
The firefly wakens; waken thou with me
Now droops the milkwhite peacock like a ghost
and like a ghost she glimmers unto me
Now lies the earth all Danae to the stars
and all thy heart lies open unto me
No folds the lily, all her sweetness up
and slips into the bosom of the lake
Now fold thyself, my dearest now, and slip
into my bosom, and be lost in me...

Well, news besides that- i did go to the mall yesterday with friends, but other than that, news is null.
