wordcrazy enthusiast Registered: 01/26/01 Posts: 275	We really are a lucky band of men and women to have found a realm where we can indulge in the things we love most---words, both beautiful and weird, poetry, languages, and more words. To celebrate my becoming a member a few minutes ago, I would like to share with you a quote from Homer that perfectly sums up what we are and what we are doing in some of the most recent popular threads like "sublime rime" and "sonnets" and a thread that was started by Maverick , a while ago, about quotes. Here goes-- As form me, I know nothing So completely delightful as a land where the people are filled With good humor, and those that feast in the halls sit quietly At tables covered with good things to eat and listen To the songs of a poet, while the wine-bearer draws wine from the bowl And fills the goblets of all. This seems to me The finest thing in the world. Odysseus to King Alcinous, Book IX, The Oddyssey of Homer What would be the finest thing (a place, an adventure, an epiphany, an extraordinary happening) in the world for you? chronist
