Voice Of An Angel
28 July, 2008
Author: Bipedalguy
From a cloud she had descended in effortless flight. She spread her wings for beauty alone, for she was of the ether, and therefore weightless. Before me was an image unimaginable to a mortal. Her voice could only be described as angelic. How could it be not so? This was an angel. |

Bipedalguy (65.96.237.196) -- Monday, July 28 2008, 11:25 pm Thanks for your comments on "Voice of an Angel" (re shall-will), I'm a 1960 H.S. grad. That's why I conform to some traditional rules. This rule is dissolving under the influence of modern usage. I agree that it seems like something's wrong with public education in recent decades. Proper use of the English language is one of the casualties. It's obvious that we need to find a way to extract more taxes from the people, so we can appropriate the funds necessary to get this problem solved, once and for all. (My last sentence was an attempt to be funny) Sorry, I know it's not funny. Bipe. |
