Quote 19

I wasn't sure what I wanted to do this week but then I saw something today that made me go "Yes, that's it!". Staying literary but poetry.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved....


I won't worry about the poet but I believe most people will recognize the poem.

Oh, went and saw Pirates last night at a sold-out 8:00 showing. I'm still processing some of it but it was "wow"! Even though they say this is the end, there are still some unanswered plotlines that could keep them going if they decide to.

Keith Richards does show up as Jack's dad about 2 hours into it and they did look pretty funny together. ANother thing that was truly strange, as pictures and lines kept happening, I was saying to myself, "That would make a good icon!"

I saw it today, too. I'm going to post a little later but there's no way this was the end!

I'm glad you enjoyed Pirates! Not planning to see it any time soon but it might happen.
And I'm really tired of you making me look stupid with your quotes.

"In Flanders Fields"!

Yes! You got it. I thought of it when I saw the veterans selling poppies. Congratulations!

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders' Fields.


Gagh, I love that poem. Almost every time I read it I cry.

(I wandered over from torch_wood, in case you were wondering!)

Welcome! I usually post a quote every week. Movie, TV, songs, literature and sometimes from (in)famous people. The other day at work I saw a veteran selling poppies and I knew that's what I had to use.

I also have a fic journal over at [livejournal.com profile] blazoningpen. Original and fanfic both. I do have some DW but not Jack yet though I am in the process of penning a post-EC/DD story with some original characters. Please drop by!
