[Lauren Hynde]

So, the girl's popular! Give her a break

 

[Angeline]

excuse me ladies?

is this the angeline harrassment thread? what a lucky girl am i. lol

 

[Lauren Hynde]

harassment?

...
The wary foe alone hath turn'd their mood,
And shewn their rashness to that erring brood:
The feign'd retreat, the nightly ambuscade,
The daily harass, and the fight delay'd,
The long privation of the hoped supply,
The tentless rest beneath the humid sky,
The stubborn wall that mocks the leaguer's art,
And palls the patience of his baffled heart,
Of these they had not deem'd: the battle-day
They could encounter as a veteran may;
...

 Lord Byron - Lara (Canto The First - XI)



You know you love us...

 

[Angeline]

Byron also said

...for god's sake hock and soda water

from somewhere in don juan, the prologue i think

and don't ask me what hock is in the context. i dunno and it grosses me out to think about it.


and of course i love you.

 

[karmadog]

Apparently, Byron was an ancestor of Bartles. Or maybe Jaymes. Hock and soda would be a white wine spritzer.

Not very macho was he.

 

[_Land]

your box is full, sugah.

And I thought this was going to bea thread about her sexlife...............and weve gone to talking about bartles and james and spritzers.....................whats the world coming to? I much rath like to think about her box being full then to think that byron was a panzy because he drank wine cooler equivalents....

 

[Lauren Hynde]

Well, Byron did live in a very faggy looking house, here in Portugal. I've seen it...

 

[lickmyboot]

didn't her prance a bit and was partial to ruffles?

Not that there's anything wrong with that!

 

[Angeline]

This is not a thread

about my or anyone's else's box! And even if it was, I can guarantee you there would be no status report on its relative um whateverness.

hahahahaha.

Re: Byron also said

...for god's sake hock and soda water

from somewhere in don juan, the prologue i think

Not actually part of the poem, a single stanza was found written on the back of the manuscript of Cantos I & II, which read:

I would to heaven that I were so much clay,
As I am blood, bone, marrow, passion, feeling —
Because at least the past were passed away —
And for the future — (but I write this reeling,
Having got drunk exceedingly today,
So that I seem to stand upon the ceiling)
I say — the future is a serious matter —
And so — for God's sake — hock and soda water!

Hock and Stuff

Not actually part of the poem, a single stanza was found written on the back of the manuscript of Cantos I & II, which read:

Thank you O' exiled one! I read "Don Juan" many years ago, and the copy I had was in a Norton Anthology. That stanza was, I believe, printed before the poem, which I guess is where I got the prologue association.

I appreciate the information.

PS--Your poem "She Walks in Beauty" is a favorite of mine...

Re: Hock and Stuff

That one's okay, but I prefer the lesser known "She Walks in Bunny Slippers"

 

[Angeline]

Bunny Slippers?

Well, in my case it would be--

She Walks in Socks with Individual Toes
Through homey climes past blue loveseat
And all that's scattered as she goes
meets at her footstep and trips her feet...



but never mind that

 

[sideshow_cecil]

She walks in bunny slippers, down the hall
Of shagg-ed carpet and knick-knacked shelve
And all that's best of jammies and robe
from one to ten she is a twelve








see, I like to think Byron was implying that she had 6 toes on each foot. I'm not sure why

You're welcome, certainly. You actually read Don Juan? I must confess that that accomplishment eludes even me. But being dead, I find I have less interest in very long poetic works, especially mine.

I appreciate the information.

No problem. Hey, what are shades for?

PS--Your poem "She Walks in Beauty" is a favorite of mine...

Everyone seems to like that. Now I know how Ravel felt about "Bolero."

Re: Re: Hock and Stuff

I'm fairly certain I destroyed all extant copies of that preliminary draft.

This doesn't quite scan, but the imagery is charming!

Is it modern?

 

[Angeline]

Had he lived to see '10' I'll bet he would have got over it.

 

[Angeline]

Is it modern?

oh yes. very.

This is a complete forgery: the stanza is irregular, and the third line breaks the meter.


My original She Walks in Bunny Slippers began:

She walks in bunny slippers fair
With floppy ears as soft as gauze
Their nylon whiskers comb the air
O'er brown'd and tatter'd bunny paws
Yet so entranc'd is she, none dare
To comment on her footwear's flaws

 

[Byron In Exile]

oh yes. very.

Delightful, but you make me feel old and decomposed.

I look forward to the final version.

I particularly favored the line "all that's scattered as she goes,"

And I hope that remains in the final revision...
