Lives of great men will remind us
We can make our lives sublime
And,departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time.
Footprints, that perhaps another,
Sailing o’er life’s solemn main,
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
Seeing, shall take heart again.
Longfellow

I saw a jolly hunter
With a jolly gun
Walking in the country
In the jolly sun.
In the jolly meadow
Sat a jolly hare.
Saw the jolly hunter.
Took jolly care.
Hunter jolly eager-
Sight of jolly prey.
Forgot gun pointing
Wrong jolly way.
Jolly hunter jolly head
Over heels gone.
Jolly old safety catch
Not jolly on.
Bang went the jolly gun.
Hunter jolly dead.
Jolly hare got clean away.
Jolly good, I said.

Far better to have left them the unidentified source of vivid, swinging and personally stylish prose. The photo cannot lie but it can diminish. Mystery always beats reality.
ReplyDeleteRR - That is not real it is a spoof. If that was apparent to you are you suggesting that I have now provided a physical mental picture for people instead of leaving them with their imagined version?
ReplyDeleteNot apparent it was a spoof. Isn't this a common sight in the UK? Quite a bit of mystery remains here in any case. The lilting voices, the aromas, the inevitable disrobing, etc.
ReplyDeleteAll - Oh dear! Two blondes Walking is a blog written by two ladies who love Dartmoor and have created a sort of mystery about their identity.
ReplyDeleteWhen I received my membership stuff for the LDWA yesterday that photo just sparked off what I thought was an amusing connection.
Long may the two blondes remain anonymous and carry on with their good work.
When my copy of Strider pooped through the letterbox the same thought crossed my mind - particularly as that issue has pics from this year's LDWA100 which was across Dartmoor.

The name is Blondes - Two Blondes.
ReplyDeleteWe all love a mystery and obviously Mystery Blondes are a double whammy!
We are the Two Blondes - it would be great fun to be able to see what we looked like in our readers' imaginations.
In our heads we look amazing and never, ever struggle up hills.
I particularly like "Vivid, swinging and personally styled." Definitely us (and our writing!)
JJ - I 'm heartened to find a kindred spirit.

Blonde 2 - welcome to you, your writing and sense of humour.
