Gravity And Levity Duke It Out In Unecessarily Archaic Language (For Cheap Gravitas And Cheep Levitas, ‘Course)
Ha! cried the woman, Hha hhahhhahahhhahhahha! cried she with great gusty gusto, her ample bosom wheezing and squeezing out sounded air like an accordion. Bombshell she was not.
Ha! cried the bombshell from her corner. Hahahahahahahhaha, countered she with all the confidence of youth and beauty. But her hahas were wrong. All wrong, bombshell not withstanding.
Thus is beauty oft undone.
But don’t pity or despise the bombshell, nor admire or despise the unbombshell too much. For in her beautiful folly, one’s beauty was made more sad and wise: and beautiful for it; and in her scored wisdom the other’s beauty was made more triumphant and empty: and beautiful for that.
We all get a wee something, don’t we.

Sorry.
The EMBLOS left this week for her annual trip to Germany. She’ll be gone for a month. I got to the “ample bosom” part and stopped cold.
You were saying?
Cheers.

Rand, I don’t think I was really saying anything much. Have you got a teddy bear while the EMBLOS is away? Get one with an ample bosom.

I am in total awe of how your mind works.

I too, am in awe.
ps I’m not as ugly as I look.

This reminds me of the introduction to The Water Margins:
“Do no despise the snake for having no horns, for who is to say it will not become a dragon?”
For “snake” read “temptress”. For “horns” read “something-or-the-other”.

Fearful symmmetry.
