  • 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.
