arachnophilia quotes: I agree. Of all the lines in this very funny play, that one got the biggest laugh from me.

Yeah. Very sexy.

Ah, robin, you are finely layered.

Yeats, too? Bravo!Faith's revulsion, so redolent of excrement: what else could occur to me?Of all the tents love has pitched, she had to walk into this one, sweetheart...Well, perhaps malt will do more than Milton for her, robin ...if she drinks good single whiskey.

Whitman, actually.

Yeats, too.O Do Not Love Too LongSWEETHEART, do not love too long:
I loved long and long,
And grew to be out of fashion
Like an old song.
All through the years of our youth
Neither could have known
Their own thought from the other's,
We were so much at one.
But O, in a minute she changed -
O do not love too long,
Or you will grow out of fashion
Like an old song.This message has been edited by Omnivorous, 08-13-2005 08:44 PM

maybe Houseman:"Malt does more than Milton can,
To justify the ways of God to man."

I knew the Houseman, but started with the Yeats, and riffed on Bogie with the sweetheart and the bar.Just playin', robin.

Actually, I had in mind the following from Whitman (I thought it fit Parasomnium's ideas):"I think I could turn and live with animals, they are so placid and self-contained,
I stand and look at them long and long.They do not sweat and whine about their condition,
They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins,
They do not make me sick discussing their duty to God,
Not one is dissatisfied, not one is demented with the mania of owning things,
Not one kneels to another, nor to his kind that lived thousands of years ago,
Not one is respectable or unhappy over the whole earth."

You're right, perfect match.My predilections betray me...

But you are right. This post was rather "literary."

Yeah, but it was 'Casablanca' too. It rocked. Look into your heart and continue to rock.Holmes, you're Holmes: I hardly know ye, but I love ya already.Robin: Ignore Holmes.
