A Little Word Quiz
Friday March 1, 2013
So I was going to do a little word quiz for those of you who are writers and readers out there. It was going to have little sayings from various fiction, such as:
They came down to me whole, stories of a blizzard that took the measure of any man, that became the measure of all storms to come.
... clinging to the damp underside of reality.
She put on lipstick that formed a mouth not far from her own.
The river was cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time.
Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent.
I hear the dice being tossed, for her bloody dress. Many are the hands who dig her grave, tonight, and your as well.
A sweet little heart-shaped face framing the nastiest pair of eyes you ever saw
More tender nights like this. And days, too. All woven securely into this place where I belong.
I've watched through his eyes, I've listened through his ears, and I tell you he's the one. Or at least as close as we are going to get.
So anyway, it turns out that these are easily findable using the googles, but if you are game, give it a try anyway without recourse to search.
