I hope some of the influences of the classics would rub off on me. Lol.

I know of Twain and Frost, have read the latter
but being that I was forced to for English exams, don't remember.
I remember what I liked which would've been Jane Austen for 'Pride and Prejudice' and 'Emma'.
All the classics are generally alternated yearly as part of the two main highschool exams in Ireland. We would've had 100 odd poems on our course, and a Shakespeare play.

Azur--- I've read your last three posts here, and, must admit, I'm lost.
Are they related? And what's going on? By the way, I rarely doubt a person's "honesty" until given good reason to. And I suspect that many millions of people in the U.S., who speak English as primary language, know nothing of Twain, Frost, or DeMille.

I sawyer and thought I'd just drop in.
Perhaps you're on the Road to Wigan Pier or maybe you're down and out in Paris and London.
Perhaps you're in King Arthur's Court.
I dunno.
Huck to see you soon.
