In Memoriam - Quote Graveyard

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

I have had this signature for quite some time, as it commemorates a great summer time, but as that summer is now only a memory, so too must be the quote.

Farewell to thee:

Ni

And welcome to the 'Downs must go to:

Out on the roof to inquire of the sky, the existance of ghosts in my life... who's to blame, you or I? No one would answer me, they just stared with the weight of the world I pretend not to feel.

Free and Invisible (yet highly coveted) Feanorian Bonus Points to whoever can tell me the origin of my newest signature.

They're song lyrics, aren't they? Song name...google.com is cheating, must resist the urge... "Ghosts"? Not a clue of the artist. Maybe half a FBP? (Feanorian Bonus Point, copyright 2004)

Farewell to my last siggy - it lasted just over a month, although seems longer for some reason.

Today we'll go witch-hunting, and tomorrow, we'll hide, and it'd be the witches' turn to find us...

It made me shiver when I first read it, although maybe that was just in context. It's from Terry Pratchett's 'Good Omens' - class book, very class. And if anyone can guess the origin of my new one, they get a free pint in the Green Dragon (ooh, fierce competition, Fea, fierce competition!) Hey, and no Google allowed!

Make it a glass of good, dark stout, if you will, lass . . .

One of my faves from a later part of 'The Song of Solomon' -

Set me as a seal upon your heart,
as a seal upon your arm;
for love is strong as death,
passion fierce as the grave.
Its flashes are flashes of fire,
a raging flame.

Half an FBP goes to Aman! The name of the song is indeed "Ghosts". Anyone who can tell me (without using the bane of my trivia spouting existence, google) who sings it gets the other 2/3.

Slightly more on topic, I really do love your new siggie, Aman. Very pretty.

Ah, such a scholar will well be welcome in the 'Dragon, Bethberry, a stout it is Song of Solomon, a favourite of weddings (I do alot of weddings, because I sing in the Church Choir, and it comes up at all of them. Really. All.), but that particular passage, I think, is so good in it's entirety: I couldn't find a way to cut it down and not leave my siggy feeling unfinished. So I looked further. It's one of the lovely songs of the Bible.

I enjoyed those two Heren. I had once considered placing a quote from The Squatter into my signature but I didn't for fear of being labelled a stalker.

Somewhat belatedly, I will place my now old signature into the thread, that being Green Ideas Sleep Furiously. Unfortunately, though I tried, I never could find a green idea that slept furiously. The closest I came was finding a green idea that snoozed in a somewhat surly manner. And it was most uninviting when it woke up to find me gawping at it...

It hasn't been long, but Jean Valjean was making me kind of sad, so I'm switching to another quote that...makes me...kind of sad...it's from a beautiful song in Seussical! the Musical, as it says.

So goodbye to Jean:

She was never mine to keep. She is youthful, she is free.
Love is the garden of the young. Let it be...--Jean Valjean

and hello to Mr. Mayor, Mrs. Mayor, and Jojo.
