I’m just so proud of my Greek mythology knowledge. I’m reading this and like, yup, thanks Percy jackson 😮‍💨 been there done that.

For some reason this made me laugh at loud-

“And misguided Epimetheus, who from the start turned out a disaster to men who live by bread, since he was the original one who received the moulded maiden from Zeus for a wife.”

I read it as in moulded maiden like he had a moldy wife 💀😂 I was like dang, poor girl. Misreading is the best sometimes.

“For from her is descended the female sec, a great affliction to mortals as they dwell with their husbands….”

that’s us yall 😎😂 thank you Hesiod, I’ll take it as a compliment 😁

About day and night:

“One carries far-seeing light for those on earth, but the other baleful Night, shrouded in clouds of mist, cradles Sleep, the brother of Death.”

Wait this is so good.

I’m very skeptical going into this lol but it’s required reading, so here goes…

I’ll be reading this one for a while! school study and assignment.

quote cont:

“Against the backhoes of her practical, sensible clan she shone like a diamond flame. Many people liked hers menu disliked her. No one was ever wholly indifferent to her.”

“Generations of lovely women were behind hers they had all given her something of personality. She the grace of running water. Something, too, of its sparkle and limpidity. A thought swayed her like a strong wind. An emotion shook her as a tempest shakes a roses she was one of those vital creatures of whom, when they do die, we say it seems impossible that they can be dead…”

quote to be cont ran out of space

HA the first time I’ve heard someone say dark circles were pretty. I sort of like that.

“Purplish gray eyes, with violet shadows under them that always seemed darker and more alluring after Emily had sat up to some unfold and un-Elizabethan hour completing a story or working out the skeleton of a a plot;”

I’m not ugly-tired… I’m alluring and violet 😁😆💜

“For those of you to whom she comes as a stranger let me draw a portrait of her as she seemed to the outward eye at the enchanted portal of seventeen, walking where the golden chrysanthemums lighted up an old autumnal, maritime garden.”

what a way with words!

so many good quotes already and I’m one on page 4 😭

“I really think that if Emily’s eyes had not so often seemed to be looking at something dreamy and lovely and secretive Aunt Elizabeth might have had more sympathy with her ambitions. None of us, not even self-sufficient Murray’s of New Moon, like to be barred out.”

“She was filled with youth’s joy in mere existence. Life was forever luring and beckoning her onward. She knew that a hard struggle was before her.”

“Yes! The Elf-Warrior is loose!” he cried. “I’m coming. Just you show me the way up, or I’ll skin you!”

I just love Sam 🤣

Snippet of song about one of the largest battle’s in the book… really good imagery.

“Long now they sleep under grass in Gondor by the Great River. Greg now as tears, gleaming silver, red then it rolled, roaring water: foam dyed with blood flamed at sunset; as beacons mountains burned at evening; red fell the dew in Rammas Echor.”
