LittleK, Prospero is quoting Shakespeare's version of the King James Bible. <smile>
What's this about tinkling?
Is it water sports now?
Oh dear - I have mis-quoted.
No wonder Little k was moved to say "wha?"
1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
Heh! Heh! ehBeth.
The Love Chapter
1 Corinthians 13
King James Version
Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
I have never thought of I Corinthians 13 in connection with watersports.
Madame ehBeth has a mind that is passing strange - but somehow intriguing.
Or - perhaps it is Mademoiselle ehBeth?
Prospero - I always say What? Check out my signatue line.
What?
What is a signatue line?
I believe I am apprised as to the nature of the signature line, but you have me quite confused.
It sounds a LITTLE like a small swan with a cold...
<smiling nodding backing away from prospero>
"Prospero - I always say What? Check out my signatue line."
Cygnatchoo?
Prospero walks amongst us. I am honored.
Why, thank you Mr Ratzenhofer.
But it seems I have already rendered some fearful - so new and so untender it seems I have been.
Please do not back away, Mr/Ms k.
(Or perhaps I may presume to call you Little?)
littlek frightens easily. She's hiding behind the drapes right now. Offer her some candy or something.
Ah! Pardon my typo, I do that a lot also.
Welcome to A2K, Prospero, I hope you find it entertaining.
May I proffer a box of chocolates, Mr/Ms k?
And thank you for your kind welcome.

All woman, Prospero. All woman.
Ah - thus I had surmised - but one does not wish to make presumptuous errors over such matters.
Thank you Mr Ratzenhofer.
