bronze_ribbonsFor the egg carton of quotes from my bedroom (*g*) I posted last week.
1. John Ciardi, I Marry You. The poem quoted is "Snowy Heron." On an even more seasonal note:
2. Susan Cooper, The Grey King. "You might teach your dog the difference between people and sheep."
3. Alice Hoffman, Practical Magic. "Sally was the one who cooked healthy dinners of meat loaf and fresh green beans and barley soup, using recipes from a copy of Joy of Cooking she'd managed to smuggle into the house."
4. Edmond Rostand, Cyrano de Bergerac. [Translation of first quote: "Yes, I want to be loved for myself, or not at all!"] "Bellerose, / Vous avez dit la seule intelligente chose!" [Bellerose, you've said the only intelligent thing (I've heard so far)!]
5. Thomas Hardy, Far From the Madding Crowd. "He always signed his name 'Henery'--strenuously insisting upon that spelling, and if any passing schoolmaster ventured to remark that the second 'e' was superfluous and old-fashioned, he received the reply that 'H-e-n-e-r-y' was the name he was christened and the name he would stick to -- in the tone of one to whom orthographical differences were matters which had a great deal to do with personal character."
6. Kathleen E. Woodiwiss, A Rose in Winter. "'Marriage!' Erienne Fleming drew back from the hearth and slammed the poker into the stand, venting a growing vexation with the still young day."
7. Stephanie Laurens, All About Passion. "If you were truly wise and wished to succeed, you would ask Cook to teach you the way of English puddings."
8. Nora Roberts, Heaven and Earth. "I've kissed a lot of men, and I'm damn good at it."
9. CLAMP, X/1999, vol. 13: Lament. "Now, now! Never rush a girl on the first date!" (spoken to the person who has just tried to kill her)
10. Hayao Miyazaki, My Neighbor Totoro (v. 1, graphic novel edition). "Whoops, I thought that was a policeman."
11. Sanami Matoh, FAKE, v. 1, act 2. "You at least have your gun with you, right?!" "I left it at home!" "You dork!!"
12. Fumi Yoshinaga, Antique Bakery, v. 4. "It should have a satin-like sheen and rise back slowly when pressed with the finger!"
1. John Ciardi, I Marry You. The poem quoted is "Snowy Heron." On an even more seasonal note:
The stills and rapids of your nakedness
in the bird-started morning mist of sun
spill from my sleep like April's waking rush
into the groundswell and green push of May.
2. Susan Cooper, The Grey King. "You might teach your dog the difference between people and sheep."
3. Alice Hoffman, Practical Magic. "Sally was the one who cooked healthy dinners of meat loaf and fresh green beans and barley soup, using recipes from a copy of Joy of Cooking she'd managed to smuggle into the house."
