Oh.. Lady! :)

Dorothy Parker! Ever since I stumbled upon her, she keeps me amused. The first time I met her, she was like speaking a gal's heart with great ease. And then, through her poems I found that she speaks her heart even better. (Not many can do that, ones who are so damn good at stretching to step into some other end up being dumb in their own case!)

I'm dying (agreed, that's exaggeration!) to read her works  as soon as possible. Hopefully I'll get my hands on a copy soon!

Meanwhile, here are few lines from her various poems.

Some men break your heart in two,
Some men fawn and flatter,
Some men never look at you;
And that cleans up the matter.           By the time you swear you're his,
Shivering and sighing,
And he vows his passion is
Infinite, undying -
Lady, make a note of this:

One of you is lying.   Once, when I was young and true,
Someone left me sad-
Broke my brittle heart in two;
And that is very bad.

Love is for unlucky folk,
Love is but a curse.
Once there was a heart I broke;
And that, I think, is worse.
