...TS Eliot's The Love Song of J Alfred Prufrock<br />- dealing with spiritually exhausted people who exist in the impersonal modern city. - Maybe I would think how lucky I was to be alone with my thoughts and away from city life!!!<br />"I grow old … I grow old … <br />I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled. <br /> Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach? <br />I shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach. <br />I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each. <br /> I do not think that they will sing to me."Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16245483587954883858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3295999161545553508.post-23083043324475102762010-07-14T20:21:29.274+08:002010-07-14T20:21:29.274+08:00I'd recite Edmund Spenser's 'The Faeri...I'd recite Edmund Spenser's 'The Faerie Queene'!

Then I would stalk some wild jabberwock (native fauna) with my vorpal blade (bamboo stick). After I have caught and cooked it I would feel very beamish indeed.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05701821366471411385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3295999161545553508.post-90458516611976494092010-07-14T16:19:02.636+08:002010-07-14T16:19:02.636+08:00You'd need something epic with a strong oral s...You'd need something epic with a strong oral structure which would make it easy to recall.
