Good bye old WoT quote, hello new one! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I really did like this one, though. Love those prophecies.

Oh, yeah, I still have my army recruitment link... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I just killed off my Matrix quotes... for a while. They'll be back. For now it's Douglas Adams for me... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Edit: Nah. We now have a new dead:

I love the quote, but I just felt like killing it... *curves hand protectively over axe* [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

I'd only had these ones for a short time, but the Moxy Fruvous one is part of one of my favourite songs:

Time to lay to rest another old favorite...

“Well written words can reach far beyond the bounds of their own meaning, bringing visions, sounds, and sensations that one cannot wrap his arms about or fully comprehend; a ponderous state of awe and wonder.”
Thanks Phantom, for letting me borrow it. I'll surely ressurrect it sometime in the future. But for now, me and my Shelley are ok together [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img].

My old sig featured a haunting melody that helped get our choir straight ones for the UIL competition:
Quote:
The waters move so freely and know us by name. Their course is oft unseemly, whose choices show no shame. An ebb and flow sublime, erasing every line of all the images in time. Feel the waters running at your feet, taste the stream its flavor bittersweet. Water so warm, pure as of gold; yet when we touch turns cold.
Now I have an excerpt from a book I'm reading called The Cat with an Emerald Eye. I think it's a little witty. And "Purr of Power" is the phrase of the day!
I also got a pic to match. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

And now I lay this one to rest - it doesn't have any sort of sentimental value, just that I've had it for a very very long time.

Of all the Great Ones who dwell in this world the Elves hold Varda in most reverence and love. Elbereth they name her, and they call upon her name out of the shadows of Middle-earth, and uplift it in song at the rising of the waters.

Still, time for a change.

Now I lay this one to rest. I liked it, it served me well, and is with its ancestors. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust...alleluia, alleluia, alleluia. Ok, enough.

I am, at long last, throwing off the tyranny of my ruling quote even as my forefathers did 227 years ago on the fourth of July!

Okay, so my quote wasn't exactly tyrannous. And I'm not exactly throwing it off, just trading it in for a new one by the same people and in the same song. Here it is anyway:
Quote:
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run, there's still time to change the road you're on. --from "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin
Hmm, maybe I'll follow the example of MLD and change my avatar too. Although, then I won't know it's me posting, so maybe not.

I just remembered something that used to be in my signature before the 3-line limit was set:
Quote:
Tolkien wrote about rings called Hibberts. These Hibberts were worn by dorky Felfs who glowed when Sting, the singer, was around.
It was a dumb inside joke, but I have to get it down while I remember it -- it's too funny to forget. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
Quote:

I know exactly how you feel! That same thought has kept me from changing my signature, too (I always look for the word 'Galadriel' at the end to find my posts).

I'm finally retiring my sig (sniff, sniff)). It's the one I started with and I think I shall miss it. I'm replacing it with one of my favorite quotes.

Quote:
But of bliss and glad life there is little to be said, before it ends; as works fair and wonderful, while still they endure for eyes to see, are their own record, and only when they are in peril or broken forever do they pass into song.

Alas, as amusing as my old sig was, it was too long, so I lay it to rest in both its forms, way too long and just too long, here:

Too long: Maedhros bent over his father's lifeless body and heard an echoing voice: "This elf will explode in 5...4…3…2…1…BOOM!" And behold, the Sons of Fëanor were covered in a black dust and their father spontaneously burst into flame and disappeared entirely!" --from "Of Fëanor, the Exploding Elf"

and Way too long: "Maedhros bent over the lifeless body of his father and heard a small, echoing voice from deep within Fëanor's chest, as if Mandos himself spoke from afar: "This elf will explode in 5...4…3…2…1…BOOM!" And behold, a great noise overcame the Sons of Fëanor, and they were covered in a black dust. They stood silent as their father spontaneously burst into flame and disappeared entirely!" --from the alternate Quenta Silmarillion, "Of Fëanor, the Exploding Elf"

And now for something completely different...

Cheers,
Lyta

I really liked this one; it was pretty cool. And quite appropriate for the Downs.

I fled, and cried out Death;
Hell trembled at the hideous name, and sighed
From all her caves, and back resounded Death.

Oh, the horror! I've changed my signature. Here's my beloved year-and-a-half-old sig, which I'm sure I'll be returning to shortly:
Quote:
"For this is what your folk would call magic, I believe; though I do not understand clearly what they mean; and they seem to use the same word of the deceits of the Enemy. But this, if you will, is the magic of Galadriel."
Rest well, my darling.

Well then, I guess you could say I lay it to rest.

Great minds think alike, I suppose. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Though I know I'll never lose affection/ For people and things that went before/ I know I'll often stop and think about them/ But in my life I love you more.
Lovely quote, lovelier song...rest in peace. I'll probably resurrect this one soon enough.
Peace

1420!

Quote:
Watch where you spit/I'd advise you wait until it's over/Then you got hit/And you shoulda known better/
And we die young/Faster we run/Down, down, down you're rollin'/Watch the blood float in the muddy sewer/
Take another hit/And bury your brother/And we die young/Faster we run/
That signature was from a song called We Die Young, by Alice in Chains. The song was about gang violence.

Good grief...I just can't seem to keep a good sig anymore. Ah well, it's good in it's own right. Farewell.
Peace

EDIT: Is it just me or does it take some time before the sig changes in your posts when you change it in your profile?

Question

As far as I know, the sig changes in all of your old posts as soon as you make your first post with your new sig, if that makes any sense.

Here's one recently discarded:

I still like it but I felt the need for something more sing song.
Sadly, I cannot remember right now the exact wording of my first signature, so I can give it a proper burial. Sorry. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]
