Now, there are times when I wonder if I'm a hopeless romantic. I'd rather not be, it would spoil my hard-edged apperance, but Isuspect that I am. The last two dvd's I bought were (the original) The Parent Trap which involves a pair of twins discovering that, first they have a twin, and then trying to get their parents back together. It is one of the few cases where the remake was a bit sharper than the original, but there we go!!!
The other was Four Weddings and a Funeral which was on offer, so I got it. I'm sure that you all know the story but now, but it had been on tv a couple of weeks ago and it made me realise that though I didn't like it when it came out, I do now...... I must be going soft!!!!
And just to prove a point, here's another Sonnet from Keats... this one entitled To ____
Had I a man's fair form, then might my sighs
Be echoed swiftly through that ivory shell
Thine ear, and find thy gentle heart; so well
Would passion arm me for the enterprise:
But ah! I am no knight whose foeman dies;
No cuirass glistens on my bosom's swell;
I am no happy shepherd of the dell
Whose lips have trembled with a maiden's eyes.
Yet must I doat upon thee, - call thee sweet,
Sweeter by far than Hybla's honey'd roses
When steep'd in dew rich to intoxication.
Ah! I will taste that dew, for me 'tis meet,
And when the moon her pallid face discloses,
I'll gather some by spells, and incantation.
Keats
And have I dedicated this to someone......??? I'm not going to tell!!! :P
