Introduce Yourself here and say Hi.

Hi folks, my name here is Emma Woodhouse, because I love Emma by Jane Austen, and I live in sunny Marrakech.
I never meet people who read Austen, and maybe this could change...

Welcome Emma! You will find many Austin readers here. I've been to sunny Marrakech, by the way, and loved it. Morocco is such a beautiful country!

Hi, I just posted an intro but it's not showing up (yet) Must be a reason, I guess! Does the moderator vet stuff before publication?

Hi Blad! I'm not sure the answer to your question (I'm not a mod), but welcome to the site on any case. :)

My name is anupriya friends. Hello

I love that Ashvamegh site john!

Welcome Gupta. :)

Hi there,

John here. Writer of short stories. Horror genre usually. From Australia

You'll fit right in here, John. Do you ever write poetry in the horror genre?

Hello all,
Thanks for a warm welcome. I'm afraid I'm here primarily to search for an old poem, but you never know what may develop. :)

Hi Phil. Welcome to the site. Hope you find what you're looking for. We get some poetry mavens here from time to time, so just be patient. Hope you stick around! :)

Good afternoon, friends, new guy here, completed my profile, feel free to have a look. General question to anyone who cares to respond regarding Emerson and I hope it is not considered 'sacrilegious' (!).....Emerson's writings are in such 'olde English' and I find myself spending a lot more time than would otherwise be necessary in understanding him and his work. Is there extant a 'translation' of his works into 'modern English', such as, for example, the New International Version (NIV) version of the Bible vs. the King James version? Thanks in advance for your kind courtesy in considering this and responding!

Welcome Tuck. Please enjoy the site. :)

I'm sure there must be such an abomination, and perhaps some evil spirit here can guide you to it. I urge you, though, to take the time to listen to Emerson's own voice. The NIV and the KJV are both translations; but what you are asking for--however convenient you may find it--is (in my opinion) a dumb down. Courage! You are better than that, I am sure! :)

Love the RWE quote, thanks for reminding me!
