I Love Books
I have been reading for many years now, but I don't really read anything "classic" or intellectual... for me, it's an escape into another world. I like fantasy, sci-fi... another words... brain candy ;)
Robin Hobb is one of my favorites. She really knows how to tell a story. Here is a poem/quote from one of her books... brilliant and quite sad, when you know the characters it relates to...
Anyways. I think a few of you may enjoy it :)
Fool's Fate by Robin Hobb
[i]“In that last dance of chances
I shall partner you no more.
I shall watch another turn you
As you move across the floor.
In that last dance of chances
When I bid your life goodbye
I will hope she treats you kindly.
I will hope you learn to fly.
In that last dance of chances
When I know you'll not be mine
I will let you go with longing
And the hope that you'll be fine.
In that last dance of chances
We shall know each other's minds.
We shall part with our regrets
When the tie no longer binds.”[/i]
