Thanks. Logged.

I can still recite "I am Odysseus, great Laertes' son, for cunning plans
of every kind known among men; and even to heaven has spread my fame...."

It's truly amazing what kind of stuff sticks to one's brain.

Cheers,

One of my faves that I still remember:

Gaily bedight
A gallant knight
In sunshine and in shadow
Had journeyed long
Singing a song
In search of Eldorado.

But he grew old
This knight so bold
And o'er his heart a shadow
Fell as he found
No spot of ground
That looked like Eldorado.

And as his strength
Failed him at length
He met a pilgrim shadow
"Shadow," said he
"Where can it be
This land of Eldorado?"

"Over the Mountains
Of the Moon
Down the Valley of the Shadow
Ride, boldly ride"
The shade replied
"If you seek for Eldorado!"
