It Seems That I Am It...

I've been tagged by Christy. Per the rules, I am to locate the closest book to me, not necessarily the book I have just read, or my favorite, but the closest. Turn to the fifty-sixth page and copy the fifth line, followed by the next two to five lines.

So here it is:

SAVAGE BEAUTY: The Life Of Edna St. Vincent Millay



And this is what it says starting on the fifth line:

"Is down...where night
And day, and frost and thaw, and death and life,
Are synonyms."

I love this book. As you can see, I have many favorite passages marked with scraps of paper. I was reading this book and feeling so very lost and lonely when I met Joe almost seven years ago now. In transition and needing him more than air to breathe. What wonderful memories...

Thanks for picking me, Christy!

Oh wait! I must tag others. Well, I'm not very popular in blog land but I'll do my best...

I tag:
Slingshot Rock
Suffolk Punch
Bus Stop
Rooked
Written Inc.

I need to dig out from the blizzard that is my desk. Too many projects on the go today...damn, I'm stressed.

I'll chime back in once I've had a chance to find the book I've been reading. It's Blink, by Malcolm Gladwell. Brilliant guy!

I absolutely adore Edna St. Vincent Millay. Someday I'll tell you the story of how she saved my life.
