One does wonder which meaning he intended. Legolas Send a noteboard - 18/09/2011 08:51:37 PM
Not a good poem at all - it tries to ape the mannerisms but it lacks in style and feel. Surprised how easy it was to understand it, though. Guess my French has improved by leaps and bounds this year, after all.

Good for you! :) Guess we'll have to tackle some other classic of French literature next year, eh? :P

Er. Nice. I guess his talent really did not lie in poetry... Legolas - 18/09/2011 04:40:30 PM 522 Views
I was wondering if it was homosexual. Tom - 18/09/2011 05:30:49 PM 631 Views
Cloris is a female name, so yeah. But I wondered for a moment before reading it, as well. Legolas - 18/09/2011 06:41:17 PM 691 Views
It was Praxiteles' Aphrodite that made me change my mind. Tom - 18/09/2011 07:12:44 PM 626 Views
A "beard"? Legolas - 18/09/2011 08:10:04 PM 748 Views
A "beard" is a fake spouse for a gay person to hide that person's identity. Tom - 18/09/2011 08:51:36 PM 590 Views
Also, note the "swan of Padua" statement... *NM* Tom - 18/09/2011 11:08:15 PM 250 Views
I think it's exceptionally cool when they find things like this. Rebekah - 18/09/2011 05:54:20 PM 531 Views
Learn French! Tom - 18/09/2011 07:13:53 PM 552 Views
I'm supposed to be. Rebekah - 18/09/2011 07:35:52 PM 582 Views
It's hardly that easy. But I agree that she should. Legolas - 18/09/2011 08:12:01 PM 493 Views
Irish is never a sensible language to learn, unless Akkadian is sensible, too. Tom - 18/09/2011 08:54:48 PM 550 Views
I think Spanish makes more sense for Americans Larry - 18/09/2011 09:01:47 PM 645 Views

I'm not sure the society has decided what it wants to do with the tens of millions of Hispanics. Tom - 19/09/2011 12:56:55 AM 510 Views
I think you're probably right. Rebekah - 19/09/2011 08:39:08 PM 525 Views
I still think Spanish is easier than French, yes. As is Italian, I'd think (not that I speak it). Legolas - 18/09/2011 09:15:49 PM 651 Views
I think I was clear in my response to Larry, above. Tom - 18/09/2011 11:21:02 PM 681 Views

Why not Jean Ray's writings? Larry - 18/09/2011 08:57:45 PM 686 Views
If you want dead Belgian writers... Legolas - 18/09/2011 09:18:52 PM 623 Views
