    Hmm, by the time I reach 50, I am sure you will know that there is very little I will not do to reach a goal... especially when that goal is to become a respected member of society (lit. forum)... I will even stoop to flattery... and all kinds of headstands and charming tricks like standing on my hind legs and yelp...



    One post closer... (thread hopelessly derailed in the process)

    EDIT: You were right... I managed to "cram" the posts in there, but I still do not think you are selfish, witchy, dictatorial, etc.

In your rocking chair, by your window dreaming, shall you long, alone. In your rocking chair, by your window, shall you dream such happiness as you may never feel."

    I think I got the same thing. I'm good to go.

    It seems to me like we'll be reading Wilde's short stories soon

    Just for clarification, is the actual title "Complete Shorter fiction"? I'm looking now for the book, but this is the only one I've found that really sounds close.
