MEME from Wild Hare

So the ever delightful Missharleyquin has tagged me with this and I went and copied the rules

here for your enjoyment….

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.

 

So…The book at hand is The collected Erotic Poems Of Goethe

6, 7th and 8th lines on page 123 are:

On we pressed, till at last a door both humble and charming willingly welcomed the guide, welcomed the suppliant in. Here there is nothing I lack,for he is a constant provider;Fresh are the roses that Love scatters each day on my path.Is this not heaven itself?

 

So I tag

Deb, Surface earth, Mother Winter Moon , Chantal, Susie

Something fun and simple to see what words you might find, for laughter and curiosity…

Thanks!

    I’m It!

    Maybe she sensed my overwhelmedness that I subtly alluded to in my previous post (ya think?!) and thought I needed a distraction (I did),  but Sorrow has mercifully tagged me with the following:
    1. Pick up the nearest book (of at least 123 pages)…

    Thanks for the tag! I’m sitting with a book on financial mathematics in my hand, and it’s in Finnish, so I think I will do this when I have something more interesting in my hands :)

    Ooo! That sounds like a good one. I’ll have to pick that up today at the library! I’ll get mine done later today!
    And I love that line, “Fresh are the roses that Love scatters each day on my path.” So beautiful. Thanks!

    Oooo, Sorrow, what BEAUTIFUL lines they are!

    God love ya, woman!

    Enjoy your evening!

    Darn good thing you didn’t pick me! LOL

    Woulda been pretty clinical sounding…

    I need to do something about my reading material.

    Chantal~ So glad you had fun with this! (big smiles)

    Susie~ You need to add something light to that stack hon~! I am patient! Find something thats brain candy, a good book of poetry is my recommendation! lol :)

    Jaz~ Yeah! looking forward to checking yours out! Wonder whats on the table other than gardening and cookbooks???

    Harley~ I could reccomend some! :)

    Deb~yes, Goethe is an incredible writer, probably one of my all time favorites! can’t wait to see what fun you come up with!

    Ron    ~ XXX? Hmmm… I don’t have any Anais Nin, but the Kamasutra is around here some where! lol! Thanks for the laughs!

    Loving Annie~ always a bright blessing to see you! Glad you liked the selection!

    Cate~ Random? Not sure what you meant by that, but it said first book I pick up, so there are piles of poetry books in this house, I’m an addict!

    Goldenferi~ reminds me of the book by Richard Bach, illusions(?) where the main character finds his answers by opening a book to random pages. Please do try this! It was low stress and fun!

    Mel~ oh, I’ve got some clinical crap around here, but lucky for me it’s no where near the computer, unless of course it’s my web design for dummies1!* lol*

    SE    ~ yeah! and yours is so tantalizing, sigh my reading list is growing faster than my time allotment!

    Silly G~your gonna enjoy this one, it’s a story of his sexual revolution in Italy, make sure you find a decent translation if you don’t read German. Hugs and grins back at ya!

    Erotic Poety?! Now why am I not surprised. No experience with this stuff but it sure read real good, you know.

  16. On February 2, 2008 at 1:29 pm Hawk Said:

    I really like how your link images are being displayed. A very nice upgraded look.

    i loved the lines from your book. Especially this one;
    “Fresh are the roses that Love scatters each day on my path.”

    Our paths keep crossing, and i very much enjoy your comments everywhere..would it be okay if i added you to my blog circle?

  18. On February 3, 2008 at 6:43 pm mig Said:

    I’d no idea Goethe wrote erotic poetry either. Still, poetry is the ideal place to find a random delightful words.

  19. On February 4, 2008 at 11:42 am Sorrow Said:

    Hawk~Why bird man, you would be amazed at my collection, but sorry , no etchings! ~grin~ glad you liked the new blog buttons!

    Gypsy heart    ~Thanks for the add on your blog roll! It is a pleasure to share space with a fellow artistic soul! Thanks for the visit and the support!

    Mig    ~ Goethe is a HUGE favorite and he writes all kinds of kernels to chew on! :)

    [...] Sorrow tagged me for a unique meme, that was too interesting to pass up! It lets your cybertribe peek into the library of your mind, while giving good fodder for readers looking for books of the same genre. [...]
