'Within the measure of a day' - those lyrics fascinate me because of their quaintness. What other quaint expressions stay with you?

I never heard that Milton quote. I find it interesting that I take much comfort in wishing myself and others to be well.

I'm glad you liked my other answer, too. I forget the actual Laurie Anderson song title because the phrase happens in a very long "live" album (four full-length CDs) and she says that in the middle of a long set. If I figure it out, I'll try to remember to let you know. Her delivery is perfect, too, ha! she even has a song on that same live set called 'Over the River' but that phrase is not in it, ha.

It's from Paradise Lost - the lines that stuck with me the most, throughout the twelve "books." With you, I get the sense that wishing others well isn't just about saying the words; and that's appreciated :)

Yes, agreed.  :)

I like how she sings that song.
:)

It really is beautiful. Isn't it. Just beautiful Doris.

I totally agree about the song and Doris Day. I just listened to the song again. :)

And then I thought of this movie - - a MUST see if you haven't seen it -  especially if you like Doris Day. Day is fantastic in it.
Granted, I saw the movie when I was pretty young, but the movie blew me away! Great in so many ways to me. :)



"Midnight Lace"

That's one of my favourites too and I used to have the phrase, Que Sera Sera on my desktop monitor, back in the day when people had desktops more than laptops. I find it very inspirational 

there was originally a picture from the movie. It's not there now.
instead, we now see the lovely --

That's okay Welby! Worse things happen. It's the thought that counts:) This post was edited by CosmicWunderkind at December 1, 2020 5:31 AM MST

Thanks.  :)

I saw you deleted one of your replies to me. I'm sorry if I said something wrong when I didn't understand.

You didn't Welby. I'm just bloodthirsty and ruthless brother. I deal with why I tend that way:) This post was edited by CosmicWunderkind at December 1, 2020 5:52 PM MST

Thanks for letting me know.  :)
