How does this work again? I choose a letter, right? Okay then, "e."
ReplyDelete"t"...
ReplyDeleteC for confused - as to who you are!?!?!?!
ReplyDeleteYou leave no clues! hahaha!
Give me another!
:) the only clue you get, and honestly unless you're an 18th century literary student it's not much of a clue, is that these are four lines of poetry from my favourite poet. The first line is famous but I'm giving you the whole quote so you can impress your friends at the proverbial cocktail parties by completing the next three lines. Consider this a free online educational programme! LOL.
ReplyDeletethanks for joining in.
"a" please!
ReplyDeleteThis is fun! How's about an "l."
ReplyDeletenoooo, i meant YOU. this is Dj Grrrl, hahahhhaa! i cannot guess who you are! give me a clue please!!
ReplyDeleteAhhh...it's dj grrl. i seee!
ReplyDeletewell here's a clue. (without giving my name out online!) I did theatre studies with you in the upper sixth, in fact in an old photo album i still have a picture of you dancing with that handkerchief. in the play with the kids going on a school trip, i was the teacher who played opposite andy perry, the young teacher who arrives at the school. if you don't remember me from that you'll never remember me from anywhere so you'd have to email me and i'll say!!
Okay, "i."
ReplyDeleteGot the first line. You're right though; that doesn't count for much. How about an "s."
ReplyDeleteHmm. Let's get all the vowels out, then. "O."
ReplyDeleteglad to see you're hanging in there rick!
ReplyDeleteanother thrilling piece of information is that this quote is from Alexander Pope.
I remember you saying how much you admire Pope, once upon a time in Pally. So I figured this quip would be his. If you're getting tired of this, I'll go ahead and google. If you're still game, let's see the "u"s. (I've got the first & third lines now. Hopefully it won't be too long before it's all over.)
ReplyDelete[b]Hopefully it won't be too long before it's all over[b]
ReplyDeletedoes this mean you're getting tired of it and just want me to tell you?
You may hang me yet! "R" if you please. (Or if you're tired of it goa ahead and tell. I won't mind.)
ReplyDeleteSo how many guesses do you get before you're hanged? I've got it now, but for one word. The "what-kind-of spring?"
ReplyDeletePierian? Is that, like, as in Perrier?
ReplyDeleteLOL, no! as in Mount Pierus, seat of the worship of Orpheus and the Muses.
