Book Meme per Corvus' Journal http://corvus-fox.livejournal.com/27137.html
To wit:
* Grab the nearest book.
* Open the book to page 56.
* Find the fifth sentence.
* Post the text of the next few sentences in your journal.
* Don't dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.
Here at the institute of course, the walls are lined with the things, after using the tape measure: the closest by a full inch...
But just as Fate oppressed Viru, it brought
Sweetness to King Mobad and to his court -
Emptying a house of all prosperity,
Making a garden bloom with victory;
While one man struck his heart now with a stone,
And heaped dust on his head, and was alone,
Another sat to drink his wine beside
The lovely woman who was now his bride.
A clever idea Corvus_fox, thanks for the fun! And all institute fellows, please feel free to play along...
