The Nymph that undoes me, is fair and unkind;
No less than a wonder by Nature designed.
She's the grief of my heart, the joy of my eye ;
And the cause of a flame that never can die !
Her mouth, from whence wit still obligingly flows,
Has the beautiful blush, and the smell, of the rose.
Love and Destiny both attend on her will;
She wounds with a look; with a frown, she can kill!
The desperate Lover can hope no redress;
Where Beauty and Rigour are both in excess!
In Sylvia they meet; so unhappy am I !
Who sees her, must love; and who loves her, must die!

Wow, were they remaking THE EXORCIST? Linda's never looked so good.
Jings! That is a bit heavy.
Indigo:- if you're talking about the photo - It's from a series taken on The Royal Mile during the Edinburgh festival last year. Papping the paps as it were.......
DSL - Can't all be sweetness and light you know. Hehehehehe.
Lolita still creeps me out.
Thought I should share.
I drank some scotch this week that I need to talk to you about! More on this later.
AC - That's because it's creepy.
dbs - Good whisky should always be talked about. That's its nature.
