Not Strictly Correct.

They tried to tell us we're too young
Too young to really be in love
They say that love's a word
A word we've only heard
And can't begin to know the meaning of

Lamentable, isn't it - ending a sentence on a preposition? It's enough to make an Oxford man's gorge rise.

(After MR James Casting the Runes.)

I haven't been this silly in a long time. I don't suppose it'll last.

Oh, i meant to tell you... i finally found some MR James. I got a Kindle for Christmas and was able to find a book of his for download. I've been reading other books, am now about to finish Wuthering Heights, and going to start on the James. :) Just thought i'd tell you.

I hope you enjoy Montague. His main theme is the dry Edwardian academic whose mundane world is being threatened or polluted by something supernatural. It isn't everybody's taste, but he is highly thought of.

Sounds like my kind of read.
