I'd be
If I were a month, I’d be August. If I were a day of the week, I’d be Saturday. If I were a planet, I’d be Saturn. If I were a sea animal, I’d be a dolphin. If I were a piece of furniture, I’d be a coffee table. If I were a gemstone, I’d be topaz. If I were a flower, I’d be a lily. If I were a kind of weather, I’d be a rainy day. If I were a colour, I’d be black. If I were an emotion, I’d be passion. If I were a fruit, I’d be a kiwi. If I were an element, I’d be Fire. If I were a place, I’d be a castle. If I were a taste, I’d be sweetly sour, like cream cheese. If I were a scent, I’d be Escada's Magnetism or DKNY's Be Delicious. If I were a sound, I’d be the tides of the sea. If I were an object, I’d be a book. If I were a body part, I’d be the eyes. If I were a song, I’d be I Just Wanted to Make You Something Beautiful by Industries of the Blind. If I were a pair of shoes, I’d be a pair of oxfords. (Questionnare borrowed from Lara of deepfriedjupiter) |
“In most books, the I, or first person, is omitted; in this it will be retained; that, in respect to egotism, is the main difference. We commonly do not remember that it is, after all, always the first person that is speaking. I should not talk so much about myself if there were anybody else whom I knew as well. Unfortunately, I am confined to this theme by the narrowness of my experience. Moreover, I, on my side, require of every writer, first or last, a simple and sincere account of his own life, and not merely what he has heard of other men's lives; some such account as he would send to his kindred from a distant land; for if he has lived sincerely, it must have been in a distant land to me. Perhaps these pages are more particularly addressed to poor students. As for the rest of my readers, they will accept such portions as apply to them. I trust that none will stretch the seams in putting on the coat, for it may do good service to him whom it fits.”
