"Take care of the sounds and the sense will take care of itself"
Lewis Carroll, speaking of "Jabberwocky"
JABBER-WORKS
They speak in Welsh -
a fairy language
of music and dance
that skips and trips
mazurka
across the hilly
Market Street
Framing the doorway,
the girls from the pharmacy:
a picture of fresh-faced
health and beauty,
chattin' cordially
beneath the gaily-blooming
floral hanging-baskets;
Smelling of talc,
their ample bosoms squeezed into
pristine white nylon zipped overalls
and their bottoms into
pressed navy slacks...
I feel well
and cared for
with their soothing syllables
and language of life!
I love the images you paint with your words!
I have several pictures and tape recordings
my son sent me when he was in Wales. It is so
lovely and their choirs the best in the world!
In my humble opinion!
Wales.....that is a country I have not visited......yet (I am not dead so I guess there's a chance? lol) From your description is sounds so charming, you must have had the most lovely vacation there!
Thanks for this mini trip! LOL
My luggage was light.....just needed my eyes and your gift of life's celebration! So, start school yet lady?
hope all is well...........A
A fairy language it is indeed, a delight to hear, just like this gem a delight to read, beautifully composed, great imagery and teasing the olfactory senses with the scent of talc.
Practical guide for learning to speak basic Japanese; lessons to get you started and guide you into using and learning the Japanese language in a natural environment; to include an introduction into Japanese culture to help you understand the languag
This programmed, self-paced lesson focuses exclusively on the use of postpostions (ga and (w)o) with grammatical objects in the Japanese language without wavering or getting off track in the labyrinth of Japanese syntax and other grammatical issues.
