As much as the exam is breathing down my neck, I must admit the words are fabulous:
"Then back she went to face the crowded hall,
tremendous bow in hand, and on her shoulder hung
the quiver spiked with coughing death."
I mean, come on...spiked with coughing death? Awesome.
And this:
"Backward and down he went, letting the winecup fall
from his shocked hand. Like pipes his nostrils jetted
crimson runnels, a river of mortal red,
and one last kick upset his table
knocking the bread and meat to soak in dusty blood."
Oooooooh.
That is all.

Are you lurking about to enhance my audio life?
Not that I mind, you know.
