silmaril's little poetry bit:

[jsbowden]

I haven't done this one yet, as I've been too busy making Snark in other people's journals.

So I now submit my snippet, it's fairly well known, but we'll see who recognizes it from a random middle verse:

Was courtesy, she thought, and cause enough
For calling up that spot of joy. She had
A heart -- how shall I say? -- too soon made glad,
Too easily impressed; she liked whate'er
She looked on, and her looks went everywhere.

So, have some famous lit.
