Title: Curious contradictions
Post by: SippinTea on August 12, 2008, 12:18:16 AM
"True love comes quietly, without banners or flashing lights. If you hear bells, get your ears checked."  --Erich Segal

"Some love may come like a storm that swells
In the August sky as the daylight wanes;
But my love came like the sound of bells
The winds have drifted across the plains."
(Stanza two from "As the Violets Came" by George Brandon Saul)

Wellll now.... It can't be both ways. Or can it? :updown:

:beret:

hhhmmm . . .someone talking about you ruby that your ears are ringing?  :pwink:

or maybe it's the song in your heart that you hear on the sound of the wind?  maybe it's only hard to hear because it is yet too far away to be perfectly ringing clear? 

or perhaps . . .  not. 

some things in life defy reason.

Maybe she does have hope
it is wedding bells
tolling for her
that is the annoying ringing
in the quietness of the morning
when she goes walking by the river
and gazing at stars,
but just in case,
she is wearing ear plugs!!!!!

Ask not for whom the bell tolls

It tolls for you ... :)

*looks for the bell*

isn't the bell at the ball?  maybe it's because of all that dancing and shouting going on that it's hard to hear.  pentecostal families do that sometimes, you know.

Or maybe a couple of ladies could be Belles of their own type of ball...or some other type of big party. :freaky2: :hypocrite:

Of course, thats only if some of the guys would get ON the ball ;)

and for the record, we are not discussing basketball, football, baseball, softball or soccer. 

just wanted to clarify the type of sport being disseminated.

Hey Chel...would YOU like to be a Belle of your own ball someday? Perhaps a big party type ball, a huge celebration, with flowers, and music, and food...and CAKE...LOTS OF CAKE..... :hypocrite:

....with peanut butter flavored filling perhaps!  :freaky2:

The first quote says "true love"

The second is talking about the author's love (doesn't say anything about true love)

The quotes do not actually contradict eachother
