When I Am Old

Mar 14, 2006 22:20

I love Yeats poems because of their sound, their simultaneous bitterness and sentimentality, and how easy they are to memorise. :) Last Wednesday night and during Thursday I found myself imagining alternate lines for When You Are Old. You can choose at your peril which version you read first... I can't think of a way to decide! Except that his ( Read more... )

Thank you sir! Yes I am old :) and creaky.

Hello, I'm not a random stranger... o_glorianna July 19 2006, 04:57:05 UTC

Hi Linus, this is Su from the picnic thing, if you still remember me! haha I've added you to my "friend" list, but thought that I'd better let you know.

Write more. Please. XD

HAY WINNIMABOO, can I say that I back this up 99.5% (with a fervour that is rather un-innocuous)?!

SHUT UP AN' POST ON YER BLOG

threedee October 12 2006, 00:22:08 UTC

Thou art too contradictory, sir! For I cannot shutteth up if I'm to posteth, nor can I posteth if I'm to shutteth up! I believeth that attempting such a feat might explodeth the universe! Eth!

In general, also to Evan/Su/Weija, my apologies for severe lack of content. Feeling very low-energy literarily, and up to my ears in metaphysics. In spirit I have not totally abandonded online journalling or commenting. Thanks for caring :)

Zomg! It's ALIVE, people! o_glorianna October 24 2006, 03:11:49 UTC

Oh good! Because I spotted you through Weija's post (I'm sly, I know, what can I say?) and wondered at you being indeed, wait for it, alive!

HAHA. Enjoy your metaphysics and being "mind-f*cked", as Weija so eloquently puts it. :D

I suppose this rather pointless message was just to say that, It was nice to hear from you, even if only indirectly. You're like a melted snowflake--I don't see you, only the trail that you have left behind.

Wow nice image :) Some might say that's all we ever see: trails. Very metaphysical no?

Also just got home from Weija & Karen's Sci-fi lecture and you were nowhere to be seen! Eluded again! So how alive are you? (Hopefully alive enough at least)
