If this be the winter of our content, it ought to have snow.

This is one thing I dislike about the UK. It has no snow. Or at least not in aesthetically pleasing amounts. Granted, having to move a cubical meter of frozen snow is not fun after a while, but damn, is the stuff pretty!

Well, before it gets driven over/stepped into/run through/melted/otherwise ruined.

At least it's pretty when it falls, in the middle of the night, so quiet and soft and sparkling...

And freezing, granted. But I get cold here too (in my room even), only without the added eye-pleasing bonus.




Happy birthday, hun!

Plus, a meme snatched from seraphim_grace.
Like she said, it does remove some of the magic, but I find the info oddly interesting. *smile*

Ask me why I gave any of my fics the title I did, and I shall illuminate!

First of all, lovely gorgeous sweet and delicious picture. Guh! So pretty!

Secondly, for the meme, I'll ask about the fic that is (I'm pretty sure) your life's work. ^_~ How did you come up with the title for The World in a Grain of Sand?

Thank you. Winter is a warm season, in a sense. ^___^

I hope it's not. ;P Anyway (good grief, now I know what Seraph meant by removing the magic) the title is a quote from William Blake's "Auguries of Innocence", which is my favourite poem. And I think the man is a genius for writing it. The whole extract (which, by the way, was also a major part of the inspiration for the whole thing, along with me being slightly peeved at the OMGZ!!I'm-enslaved-and-it's-so-much-fun!Duo) can be found on this picture (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v242/keire_ke/art_gw/wigs2.jpg). The whole poem is rather long (http://www.online-literature.com/blake/612/) but good. That excerpt is actually the first of two stanzas, but it's not exactly reflected on this website.

Plus, I thought it sums up neatly the idea of Heero going from a tough aristocratic military leader to gardening and watching sunrises with Duo. ^____^

Whew. *doesn't know when to shut up*
