  1. It is, in fact, Longfellow. It's the poem Evangeline, rather remarkable in that its meter is dactylic hexameter, a common meter in Greek and Latin (both the Iliad and the Aeneid are in dactylic hexameter), but very unusual for English, where the natural rhythm of the language tends toward an iambic meter. (Most of Shakespeare's stuff, for instance, is in iambic pentameter.) Have at it, bfh! George
  2. Darn! I didn't think it would be that easy! For anyone who didn't see how Dooj got it... MARY Elizabeth Mastrontonio Joyce DEWITT JILL St. John DRAIN Take it away, Dooj! George
  3. In the Acadian land, on the shores of the Basin of Minas, Distant, secluded, still, the little village of Grand-Pré George
  4. So far, so good. Any others? (I admit I don't recognize them all.) George
  5. If it's not Milton, my guess would be Dante. George
  6. It does have a certain charm. four pics, need names George
  7. Original Sin Antonio Banderas Desperado George
  8. Here's more of MY kind of nostalgia. How many of these starlets can you name? George
  9. If that's the Mary of "Peter, Paul and" fame, you're right. I think John Denver did it, too. George
  10. JUAN Valdez TREE Benny HILL "One Tree Hill" George
  11. You got it, b! (May I call you "b"?) :) George
  12. The Dave Clark Five had the biggest hit with it. Go ahead, WW. George
  13. That's the way it is with all the games, WW... I hope she’ll be a fool—that’s the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool. If personality is an unbroken series of successful gestures, then there was something gorgeous about him, some heightened sensitivity to the promises of life,…[he had] …an extraordinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness such as I have never found in any other person and which it is not likely I shall ever find again. George
  14. A bit more obvious. "A Cask of Amontillado" by Edgar Allan Poe George
  15. You take Sally, and I'll take Sue And we'll rock away all of our blues. George
  16. "If you can't tell me what it is, let's use reverse logic -- Perhaps it'll help if you tell me what it isn't." "It is not liquid, gaseous, or solid, despite the fact we cannot see through it." "So far that's not much help." "We're wasting time. The shuttlecraft is ready." "You're determined not to let me share in this, aren't you?" "This is not a competition. Whether you understand it or not, grant me my own kind of dignity." George
  17. War Games Matthew Broderick Glory George
  18. I would guess Alexandre Dumas ("The Count of Monte Cristo") George
  19. The "Don't call me Benjamin" line implies someone with the Dax symbiont. Is this "Invasive Procedures" where John Glover (long before his Lionel Luthor days) is a Trill who has the Dax synbiont placed in him? Sisko convinces his confederates that now that he has the Dax symbiont, he'll betray them all and gets his girlfriend to help get the symbiot back to Jadzia. George
  20. It's from Shakespeare's third sonnet. You're up, W&W! George
