paulb addict Registered: 03/17/00 Posts: 460 Loc: Hobart, Tasmania, Australia	For the sheer joy of descriptive writing, may I share this sentence with you all?: " … Barbara was standing beside the car on the other side of the road, teaching the street lamps to shine tenderly." [Amy Witting, The visit]

Brandon enthusiast Registered: 03/16/00 Posts: 218 Loc: Mountain West, USA	teaching the street lamps Wow. I've always found street lamps to be a little hardheaded. After reflecting on it a few moments, I'd argue that though there is a light on upstairs, it doesn't mean anybody is home. Illuminating metaphor, is it not? Or perhaps I am not convincing. Maybe I should switch my approach. Brandon
