Merci beaucoup

Thanks, Good Gawde. That was excellent. And Joni Mitchell, so young! Great video. Johnny Cash gives me the goosies.

@Fahad and Good Gawde: Elizabeth Barrett Browning: Sonnets from the Portuguese, How Do I Love Thee?

Apoorv Gawde said...

Yes!
and yes again! I just pinged my friend to say how that video gave me goosebumps :D

hmmmm...
sorry, but i thot it was kinda (to put it mildly) soppy. it was not so much a case of goosebumps for me as juddering over a series of speed-bumps.

(i know, bohat budd-zouq hunh!!!)

one of the comments below the video was about how they didn't gel together. actually joni (whom i'm quite a fan of) (listen to the court and spark album, esp the title track) sounded like it might have been johnny cash's with a certain sensitive part of his anatomy in a vice grip. (ouch)

Boomsa: You and your cryptics. Tchah.
Mian Budd-Zouq: I am agreed with you on this point. Too soppy by far. I just shamelessly tweak the first two lines of the poem as I want. Suits me just fine. And then? What else? I am now going to run to your blog to see if there are any updates after the camel chronicles.

Elizabeth Barrett Browning was great!

But was that pic clicked from a hazy distance?
