Were you... uh.. ko.. kuo... Oh! Qu-o-ting... Were you qu-o-ting something?

English

Yes, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Wonderfully wordy fellow.

English

[lunchpenalty]

Y-Yes. That qu...ote has a lot of words.

How do you re... remem...ber them all?

English

[x_dilettante_x]

I had to learn it for school, dashed if I know why I felt like repeating it now.

Can't quite remember anything else at the moment though; a bit of 'God Save the Queen' maybe...

English

[lunchpenalty]

Sousousou. I un-de-r-stan-d.

When I was little, my ...gakuen... school made us do that kind of thing, too. I did not like it.

Doesn't change as you get to higher places. The poems just get duller and longer.

Something like that would make me fall asleep in class.

English

[x_dilettante_x]

It did that for me...wonderful way to recover from the night before though

What do you mean? Were you sick?

English

[x_dilettante_x]

Ah not a full illness, but I often did lose what dinner I had!

English

[lunchpenalty]

...That sounds pretty sick to me.

English

[x_dilettante_x]

It wasn't from a fever I can tell you that.

English

[lunchpenalty]

...Then what was it from?

English

[x_dilettante_x]

Well...at Oxford it was from mostly port.
