Gerard has many fans, methinks. :hug: Poor guy. He was just so unhappy. I think he demanded impossible things of himself ... 'Glory be to God' is a glorious poem, definitely in my top ten. He makes use of pure sound better than any other poet except, perhaps, Whitman. Oh yes, absolutely. :bow: I rea...

And, oh, how I love the pic of Frodo reading you have in your sig! :love: So do I. 8) In fact, I have this very same poster in my bedroom. A friend from the US sent it to me, in October 2001, two months before the film came out ... the American Library Association produced these two gorgeous film p...

Oooh, Keats. :) I love poetry, and studied it a long time ago, but I read so little these days ... despite having some really good poetry collections. I do often read poetry from LOTR ... :) Anyway, here are two of my favourite poems of all time. As kingfishers catch fire As kingfishers catch fire, ...

Funnily enough, Queen B, no. :rofl: He was frickin awesome as Voldy though! Nobody does evil quite like Fiennes ... He must be one of the finest actors on the planet. He's FANTASTIC. I've seen him twice on stage and he has real charisma ... *wonders who he could have played in LOTR* But a recommenda...

The Constant Gardener
Saw it tonight. Absolutely bloody excellent film, probably the best I've seen all year ... I thought it was better than 'Crash'. Intelligent and incisive political thriller, based on a John le Carre novel, with a truly tender and convincing love story at its heart ... Ralph Fiennes and Rachel Weisz ...

Whistler, you're so cute. :love: I've seen both Kong trailers now and I think they're MARVELLOUS. :D This really looks like a thoroughly enjoyable, no-holds-barred, PJ-let-loose kinda film. :D I really like Naomi Watts. :) Looks like she's gonna scream as much as Frolijah did. =:) I don't mind PJ's ...

Sure! :) I've been an Anglican for a long time. I was brought up in the Brethren, who were pretty narrow and fundamentalist, God bless 'em - although I do owe a love of the Bible to them so I won't knock 'em. I also have strong charismatic leanings. :D I've always loved the liturgy for its beauty an...

Welcome, Tosh. Please feel free to do all the poking around that you want. :shock: :D W00t Tosh! :banana: Pearl, may I share this happy dance with you? Although I will take some time getting used to calling you Pearl, I'm so happy you are here. Sorry, V-man. :oops: I realise y'all are used to calli...

I have an exceedingly cool CD by Anonymous 4 - a ladies' quartet from New York City - of Hungarian medieval Christmas music. Beautiful, haunting and somewhat austere. 8) I really love Advent and Christmas church music. :love: I also have a CD of English medieval carols. One fave seasonal hymn/song: ...

Hi, girls. :hug: I dislike Christmas consumerism :x but do find Advent meaningful. I adore Advent and Christmas music. :love: My favourite Advent hymns are 'O come O come Emmanuel' and 'Lo, he comes with clouds descending'. For this Advent season, I'm reading the book of Isaiah. No kidding. :D Aweso...

*does happy dance* I can post! I can post! *weepz with gratitude* :hug: *clears throat* The name's Pearl. Pearl Took. Eldest sister to Pippin. Of an eligible age to marry Frodo Baggins. Also killed my great aunt, but we don't talk about that. In another AU, you all know me as Pippin's wife. :) Good ...
