Hello everyone!
I hope you all had a splendid St. Patrick's day! I completely forgot to wear green and wore blue (oops!) but the sun came out and the snow is now almost entirely melted, which is a delight to me. It looks as though spring is here to stay!
Today I have chosen a quote (scene, really,) from Somewhere in Time. This is one of the most beautiful movies I've ever seen, with excellent actors, gorgeous Victorian costumes, stunning scenery and some of the most beautiful music ever composed. (There's never been anyone quite like John Barry, then or since.) This scene is one of my very favourites in the film.
Elise McKenna: "The man of my dreams has almost faded now."
Maid in play: "And what man is that, Miss?"
Elise: "The one I have created in my mind. The sort of man each woman dreams of, in the deepest and most secret reaches of her heart. I can almost see him now before me. What would I say to him, if he were really here? 'Forgive me. I've never known this feeling. I've lived without it all my life. Is it any wonder, then, I failed to recognize you? you, who brought ti to me for the first time. Is there any way that I can tell you how my life has changed? Any way at all to let you know what sweetness you have given me? There is so much to say, I cannot find the words. Except for these: I love you.' And that is what I'd say to him, if he were really here."
Since the scene is so utterly beautiful, I have embedded a video of it for y'all to watch at your leisure. Sink me, if it is not one of the most romantic moments in cinematic history!
Very Truly Yours,
Emma Jane
