Moving
Moving has it's own up-side. Although sorting out all the junk you tend to collect is painful and time-consuming, the sorting that you do sometimes brings up some unexpected treasures - things, or memories of things you have forgotten.
So I have discovered a few treasures while clearing the tables and racks last few days - bills, trekking maps, pre-historic to-do lists(some items still pending), train routes, recipes, carefully planned menu of some lunch or dinner, pictures, test papers, assignments(I never submitted), and many other little things.
What this blog is about is a few lines I found scribbled in an old notebook I used to practice Kanji's in. That was long back ofcourse, when I had just joined language school. I am amazed at all the practice I did...
Anyway, here are those beautiful lines...
There was a land of Cavaliers and Cotton Fields
called the Old South...
Here in this pretty world Gallantry took it's
last bow...
Here was the last ever to be seen of Knights and
their Ladies Fair, of Master and of Slave...
Look for it only in books, for it is no more than
a dream remembered.
A Civilization gone with the wind...
And for a while I was transported into that pretty old world of Knights and Fair Ladies...what a movie!! A true classic.
Moving, I suppose, is also an interesting experience. :)
