do i dare?
I don't really know what any of it means, but it's lovely. I think it's about a man who is a nobody and who is afraid, as everyone is, of making any loud noises. But I also think it is a love song, kind of.
Oh and since I was trying to write fanfiction at the time, I will forever associate this poem with Garak and Jadzia, different parts each, which is just what I need right now . I should be working on Life on Earth, but naturally my muse, such as it is, wants to write this DS9 thing instead..
Here's a bit from Portrait of a Lady that I liked:
“You do not know how much they mean to me, my friends,
And how, how rare and strange it is, to find
In a life composed so much, so much of odds and ends,
[For indeed I do not love it … you knew? you are not blind!
How keen you are!]
To find a friend who has these qualities,
Who has, and gives
Those qualities upon which friendship lives.
No, I don't know why this is suddenly a different size and font. God, I have lj formatting.
