A Novel Idea


My good friend Melanie has yet again tagged me with a great Meme. Here are the rules:

1. Pick up the nearest book of at least 123 pages.
2. Open the book to page 123.

3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag five people.







From Longfellow's Evaneline (I am blessed to have an original 1900 copy)






A youth, light-hearted and content,
I wander through the world;
here, Arab-like, is pitched my tent
and straight again is furled.

Yet oft I dream, that once a wife
close in my heart was locked,
and in the sweet repose of life
a blessed child rocked.

I wake! Away that dream, away!
Too long did it remain.
