I would certainly take it.



Wine

Champaign or Burgundy, or Florence pure,
Or Hoc Antique, or Lisbon New or Old,
Bourdeaux, or neat French White, or Alicant:
For Bourdeaux we with Voice unanimous
Declare, (such Sympathy's in Boon Conpeers.)
He quits the Room Alert, but soon returns,
One hand Capacious Glist'ring Vessels bore
Resplendant, th' other with a grasp secure,
A Bottle (mighty charge) upstaid, full Fraught
With goodly Wine, He with extended Hand
Rais'd high, pours forth the Sanguin frothy Juice,
O' respred with Bubbles, dissipated soon:
We strait t'our Arms repair, experienc'd Chiefs;
Now Glasses clash with Glasses, (Charming Sound,)
And Glorious Anna's Health the first the best
Crowns the full Glass, at Her inspiring Name
The sprightly Wine Results, and seem to Smile
With hearty Zeal, and wish Unanimous
The Health we drink, and in her Health our own.

John Gay. Lovely poet.

Yeeeah, that was long and tedious to type up. I hate you so much sometimes. xD

[xraggedydollx.livejournal.com]

Poor Ryn. X_X

[ryntha-doghare.livejournal.com]

lol, curse having a poetry-fan as a headmate!

[xraggedydollx.livejournal.com]

That explains so much right now.

[ryntha-doghare.livejournal.com]

...lol, what do you mean?

[xraggedydollx.livejournal.com]

Just Dorians long, non-trendy answers and writing style. It's not very uh modern.

[ryntha-doghare.livejournal.com]

LOLOL "non-trendy" you sound like my mother P:
yeah, well, I like it as a way of challenging my mind. :D I love poetry too so sometimes I don't mind as much. And both me and Dorian love BYRON :D One of the most awesome poets ever.

[xraggedydollx.livejournal.com]

I'm a mother of four, so I guess that makes sense.

My girl likes Byrn, I don't have much time to read poetry these days.

[ryntha-doghare.livejournal.com]

you should always have time to read poetry! (poetry > chilling on livejournal?)

ew, children P:

[xraggedydollx.livejournal.com]

LOL

[xraggedydollx.livejournal.com]

Not that the way that Dorian talks is a bad thing. Of course I'm just more used to modern speech.

[grayaesthetic.livejournal.com]

I am trying my best. Dear lord.

[xraggedydollx.livejournal.com]

I know. I just don't know allot of people from your time is all. Save for Jason but I haven't seen him much these days.

[grayaesthetic.livejournal.com]

Jason? And who is that?

[xraggedydollx.livejournal.com]

He's one of my ex's. I meet him due to Batman. He's from the 18th century but he does time traveling of sorts , with magic.

[grayaesthetic.livejournal.com]

With magic. I see.

[xraggedydollx.livejournal.com]

Yes. (: We keep our selves busy in Gotham.

[grayaesthetic.livejournal.com]

You certainly do. The methods themselves are questionable. I don't ever recall dealing with magic.. though, I suppose, the portrait must count for something, and of course the wolf can do a little, or so I assume. You will have to ask him about that.

[xraggedydollx.livejournal.com]

In Gotham there is magic and forgot to mention earlier . Jason is bonded with a Demon as well. Plus not all verses are the same of course, heh. I mean look at Harry Potter, seriously don't care about him but he's an English/Brit kid who's a wizard .

[grayaesthetic.livejournal.com]

A demon? What would that entail? And I don't know what Harry Potter is, I apologise.

[wolfwantsblood.livejournal.com]

Knowing everything is hard to manage, but I doubt anything you could ever learn about anyone would hurt.

I've got to admit, I can't make it all the way through that poem before my mind rebels and tries to run away. Too many Randomly capitalized Words of great Importance.

[grayaesthetic.livejournal.com]

You have no taste, wolf! Shame on you! John Gay is astoundingly lovely. Astoundingly so, and you should be able to appreciate a decent piece of poetry. Hah, disappointing.

Knowledge is power as they say; I do enjoy it.

[wolfwantsblood.livejournal.com]

I do appreciate a decent piece of poetry, when I can actually sit through the thing without driving myself mad.

You enjoy it, and you know how to use it.

[grayaesthetic.livejournal.com]

Well, it says a little something for what it takes to drive you mad. :)
