Mystery Girl, it so happens, bears a remarkable resemblance to an actress named Sienna Guillory. Here are a couple pics of her in the USA TV version of Helen of Troy. It is very good, so try and see it some time.


Mystery Girl is not quite as thin, has slightly shorter hair, is shorter in height and is always smiling. All of these differences, however, are completely meaningless to me. Mystery Girl is beautiful and there is nothing anyone can do about it. So tough.
Here’s what Mystery Girl looks like through a poet’s eyes. (That’d be me.)
-Original Work-
“Classical Ode to the Lady of 10th Floor”
Sing, oh sing Helios and
Warm thy father’s lands
And let all the world in
Thy light rejoice, painted
By thy sister Aphrodite’s
Hand.
Lo, what precious drop hath
Fallen from her brush?
Peer closer still and gaze
Upon true resplendence,
Dancing o’er the green grass
And singing with a voice
Envied by man and muse.
Closer, closer peer thee and
Thy eternal eye shall see a
Face not beheld since Helen of Troy
Graced the golden walls of that fated city.
Abashed shall thee be when in
Her smile thou dost see
Thy own face.
Oh Helios, fear not for thy
Own vanity; forever shall thy
Brilliance fill the skies.
And when thy fiery chariot o’er
Horizon doth depart,
‘tis then thy throne usurpéd be by
The beauty of her eyes.

Damn. I swear I thought I just read something by Alfred Lord Tennyson. How do you write such amazing poetry? Have a good weekend!
ok, this needs to be said as well. Alot of Tennyson’s works were beautiful poetry, but they really don’t mean anything. I think the poetry above is beautiful, but there’s also meaning somewhere behind this. Thank you Dr. Scholtz, aka Dr. Satan, and my year and a half of Major British Writers. Tennyson has a lot of memorable lines, but not a lot of themes to make them last… Okay.. my teaching/ranting session is over.
Tennyson….was a bit opinionated in my opinion…eh, but that’s just me. I enjoy Longfellow the best.
Haha, I just realized…opinionated in my opinion. Funny.
