Another Canadian :) I might have to take a page from Susannah's book and make you recite this when we meet in June! I spent the day with Liz today and she tells me you will be here in December. Yeah! She has a great idea to get a few of us together, I hope it works out!!<BR/><BR/>Good luck with the job application!!!<BR/><BR/>XOX-LethaLetha Sandisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01029239805680777238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21434337.post-1147386469326296882006-05-11T23:27:00.000+01:002006-05-11T23:27:00.000+01:00sweet pea, you realise that when you come down to ...sweet pea, you realise that when you come down to visit, i'm going to make you recite this don't you? ;-) loved it!<BR/>SxSusannah Conwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11729273567277588887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21434337.post-1147380095092439182006-05-11T21:41:00.000+01:002006-05-11T21:41:00.000+01:00the pounding of hooves carried me right through th...the pounding of hooves carried me right through this ...

I had to memorize this in high school, it must have been quite the feat for a sixth grader to get all the words stored in the brain!<BR/><BR/>As an aside, I love your mention of Anne Shirley. I absolutely adore L.M. Montgomery's work. My great grandmother actually went to Dalhousie with L.M.M. and I've felt a connection to her work. I love, love, love her characters!<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>KKathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12798030475306222077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21434337.post-1147373886946860072006-05-11T19:58:00.000+01:002006-05-11T19:58:00.000+01:00As others said, I love the Lorena McKennitt versio...As others said, I love the Lorena McKennitt version.

You'd love it. I never had to memorize poetry in school, that I can recall, but I did anyway. There was this dark Archibald MacLeish poem called The End of the World, and lots of Wordsworth... and a lot of it IS still in my head!Laini Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14064837312936707024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21434337.post-1147339431397712432006-05-11T10:23:00.000+01:002006-05-11T10:23:00.000+01:00I'm staggered at your ability to memorise - wow!
