Every so often I re-read them and just want to sing her praises, that’s all. Brilliant is too often repeated a word to describe her work.

The sweeter the apple the blacker the core
Scratch a lover and find a foe.”

Order Tramadol Us To Us My own dear love, he is strong and bold
And he cares not what comes after,
His words ring sweet as a chime of gold,

And I wish I’d never met him

As the fragrance of acacia

And I wish he were in Asia.

and he makes no friends of sorrows

And I wish somebody’d shoot him.

https://www.yolascafe.com/x8dyrylgn7m Yes, Dorothy Parker was astounding. Who else could capture that pitch perfect sarcasm in a poem? I’m fairly obsessed with her …
source sitehttps://lpgventures.com/i5t6lu2 yeah, that’s true love, and reminds me of your Romeo & Juliet piece ~
source linkgo My favorite DP poem:
watch Theory
follow site Into love and out again,
Thus I went, and thus I go.
Spare your voice, and hold your pen –
Well and bitterly, I know
All the songs were ever sung,
All the word were ever said;
Could it be, when I was young,
Some one dropped me on my head?
Order Tramadol Online Canada Merrill, her obit in the NYT had this great quote which reminds me of you (and your wild mind…)
https://danivoiceovers.com/dxcj5dm3nmo She had her own definition of humor, and it demanded lonely, perfectionist writing to make the truly funny seem casual and uncontrived. “Humor to me, Heaven help me, takes in many things,” she said. “There must be courage; there must be no awe. There must be criticism, for humor, to my mind, is encapsulated in criticism. There must be a disciplined eye and wild mind. There must be a magnificent disregard for your reader, for if he cannot follow you, there is nothing you can do about it.”
https://www.mbtn.net/?p=kbsh4jd Yep. That’s another great poem. Most of them are amazing. I was actually relieved that I didn’t like every one, just to make her abilities a little more human. And thanks for thinking of me in the same sentence with her.
https://www.mreavoice.org/b0934jc We stayed at a B&B in Maine where each room was named after a famous writer. We stayed in the Dorothy Parker Room, which was stocked with her books. It was my introduction to her writing.
https://alldayelectrician.com/abgra85s It’s a shame the painted partial toenail I found in the bed had to appear and wipe away the charm of the place. I wonder if it was Dorothy’s Nail.

https://www.mbtn.net/?p=ry8ek6vau Ew.
Dont know what you are doing wrong. I will ask my, ahem, web advisor.
https://dcinematools.com/09romsb26 Even if all she ever wrote was “You can lead a whore to culture but you can’t make her think” that would still be a lot more than I’ll ever accomplish.
Happily, besides being a great wit, she was also a real writer.
I don’t think Miss Parker liked too many people but I suspect she would have liked you.
https://mocicc.org/agricultura/90rl57v Aw shucks. Thanks.
https://lpgventures.com/dip47ni37 I stumbled across Parker in the back of the library early in my high school years. I have spent the following twenty years telling anyone who will listen about Parker. She changed who I was then and helped sculpt who I am now. Her dark insight into the world spoke to me and continues to do so. Such a fabulous woman with an amazing mind. Oh, to have been able to meet her *sigh*.
