If you ever read my siggy you have.

Lol, so I have!

My favourite bible verse is:

For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believe in Him, should not perish, but have an eternal life.

John: 3:16. lol!

One question: What is with the 3:16? And 4:37? Is it the time that person said it?

And who is "John" and "Psalms"?

I like this passge from "The Raven" by Egger Allen Poe:

Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter,

In there stepped a stately Raven of the saintly days of yore.

Not the least obeisance made he; not an instant stopped or stayed he;

But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door -

Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber door -

Perched, and sat, and nothing more.

Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling,

By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore,

"Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou," I said, "art sure no craven, Ghastly grim and ancient Raven wandering from the Nightly shore - Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night's Plutonian shore!"Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."

One question: What is with the 3:16? And 4:37? Is it the time that person said it?

And who is "John" and "Psalms"?

I think...he is referring to John the baptist? I don't know...

John 2:16 is the reference.

The Bible is sectioned off into books. In those books are chapters. In those chapters are verses.

It's how the Bible is set up so we can find things easily.

John was one of the first followers of Jesus Christ, one of the desciples.

I'm not totaly sure why Psalms is, well names Psamls. It's probably just a Hebrew word for 'song' or 'poem' but I am not entirely sure.

As beautiful as that poem is, it's not in the bible, I'm afraid.

I haven't read the bible, as I stopped going to church when I moved to England. My parents resented kneeling for prayer, so I have had no contact with religion since. Where I'm from, it causes too many conflicts.

when i was little i tried to read the bible, but i stopped because my head began to hurt cause i didn't understand alot of the words at the time.

 

[tamaw/pants]

Ah, my mistake. Serves me right for skimming! Have you read any of Poe's short stories? If not, they're definately worth looking up.

In terms of books in general, I love this, from James Joyce's Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man:

"What did that mean, to kiss? You put your face up like that to say goodnight and then his mother put her face down. That was to kiss. His mother put her lips on his cheek; her lips were soft and they wetted his cheek; and they made a tiny little noise: kiss. Why did people do that with their two faces?"

Also, Nabokov's Lolita has some beautiful prose, despite the subject matter. I won't bother posting it here.

Who? I'll talk about all three:

Poe - I'm not sure if he wrote any full novels, but his short stories are fantastic. He had an amazing ability to evoke incredible atmosphere and imagery. Some of them are quite scary, but his way with words absorbs the reader completely.

Joyce - A literary modernist, very experimental and influential. Portrait of the Artist... follows the life of a character, from being a very young chold to adulthood. The amazing thing is that the style of writing changes through out - the beginning is very child-like and badly written, and as time passes it becomes more mature and, well... older. This is the very beginning of the book:

"Once upon a time and a very good time it was there was a moocow coming down along the road and this moocow that was coming down along the road met a nicens little boy named baby tuckoo…"

It can be difficult to follow, but it's very rewarding.

And Nabokov? Well, his writing is among the most beautiful that I have ever had the pleasure to read. I can quite easily sit down with one of his books with the intention of reading for half an hour or so, and find that I lose track for 2 or 3 hours. This is made all the more impressive when you realise that he is russian, and english isn't his first language. It dumbfounds me to think that someone can learn a foreign language and master it so completely.

Wow, that was longer than I thought it would be. I guess I'm just passionate about literature.

you are totally accurate. Poe's way of using words to create a atmosphere of horror, and mystery are one of the greatest in the gothic genre (no, not the people, the books.)
