Dorothy Parker Week Day Three

[snurri]

Sanctuary

My land is bare of chattering folk;
The clouds are low along the ridges,
And sweet's the air with curly smoke
From all my burning bridges.

I love that woman.

Me too. I wish I'd been around to have a brief, disastrous fling with her for which we'd both blame each other publicly and ourselves privately.

But then you could have both immortalized the other with scathing, bittersweet words.

I'm saying, it would have been totally worth it.

Thanks for posting the Dorothy Parker - it reminds me that I read my little hardbound Dorothy Parker omnibus (which I believe belonged to my grandmother, originally) over and over again as a teenager.

She's perfect for reminding me that other people get really angry at the world sometimes, too.
