May the Songs of the Angels welcome you....
 

"Do you see a man who is wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him." - Proverbs 26:12

Farethee well, first of my avatars....

I would not have replace thee, but as I was posting in this thread, I was struck with an idea for a new avatar.

Therefore, in a matter of minutes, thou wilt be no more.

Had the same quote in my sig for a year now, perhaps time for a change, even though it was one of my favourite quotes, said by one of my more odd friends.. :)
"I listen to the voices inside my head, so please speak up"

Had to go though, Douglas Adams is, after all, Douglas Adams. The genius. =)

And here I lay to rest possibly my shortest sig, duration-wise:

But then, it was only meant to be a temporary, Easter style siggy. And along comes my new one, which is from the book I am currently reading: The Plague Dogs, by Richard Adams. Brilliant book, though maybe a little grisly. Snitter, the character who sings this little ditty, is a brilliant character: utterly mad, but all the better for it...

Didn't last very long, but another random quote laid to rest:

Here lies
 

My new sig is part of a series of twisted saws. And I mean twisted.

Goodbye for now, Groucho.
So I don't spam, and since I'm the last one to post, I'll post my newly-deceased sig in this old post. So here goes nada.

Gotta love 8-Bit Theatre.

Farewell...
 

I don't think anymore. My brain's on vacation.

I kind of liked this quote by Legolas. Kind of...
Anyway, it's time to move on and make way for a new sig.

These line in particular resonated deeply with me when I read Arnold's "To Marguerite", but I've decided that at last it is time to exchange it for a more contemporary (though no less pertinent to my own inclinations) quotation.

"Oh, no no no, it was too cold always......
I was much too far out all my life
And not waving but drowning"

I love this one and I find it very moving ....but it has been over a week and I am in a less bleak mood so.....

I realized I haven't laid my old sig to rest:

Imi elyë na vanessë Ambaron ya Qualmë nye i Lindir carnë.
Menelnya ontanë sinomë
A laven auta

It's Elvish (Quenya) for:

Sinussa maailman kauneus
Josta kuolema teki minusta taiteilijan
Oman taivaan tänne loin
Anna minun päästä pois

which is Finnish for:

In you is the beauty of the world, of which death made me an artist
My own heaven I created here
Let me get away

Hope I confused you all. ;)
Lyrics by Nightwish, Quenya translation by yours truly. Someone said on this forum (apologies for not remembering exactly who at this moment!) that this song reminds one of LOTR, despite no obvious reference. I agree...

RIP

I'll let Mithalwen's Little Prince signature rest here. It's only right that it can lie next to its sibling.

Everything was revealed to her, I say, I say....

Here I lay down the wisdom of the late, great Tupac Shakur. May both this quote and he rest in peace.

:(

Every time you spend money, you're casting a vote for the kind of world you want.


I believe it but it is time for a change and since it isn't happening elsewhere I will change my sig ;)

I'm putting this to rest for awhile....just until I'm done gloating over mopping the floor at Band Comp. this year...

I lay to rest the short-lived, but no less beloved, The Boondock Saints quote:

But since I fell in love with The Pax Cecilia (google it, foo ;) ) this winter, I've been waiting to use their lines for signatures. So now I have a piece of the segment that goes thus:

"i stole my inspiration from a lonely ghost road, someday this curse will catch up with me. and someday i will fit my memiors in the palm of your hand. meredith, meredith, someday you will fit my memiors in the palm of your hand, and they will accompany you as you give up hope. and meredith, all my life you'll be humming lullabies into my ear in such a disjointed and quivering melody, and on my deathbed you'll be screaming repentance to the rhythm of my slowing heartbeat. god, i have never known a thought so lovely."

I lay to rest...
 

Thank you, George Bernard Shaw. Now there's something to defend me when I'm being unreasonable. Oh, and thank you too, Gen. Mike Rodgers of Op-Center.

I lay to rest:

"Nightfall
Quietly crept in and changed us all"
(Blind Guardian)

I can really see this song being played at the end of the world.

I retire you early... Fluorescence A.D. 1429: Burning the Body of Joan of Arc, you are still one of my favorites, even though your creators saw fit to saddle you with such a long name.
My new one is from the same band, but instead comes from the song MDCCLXXV. Or was it The Crux Candide? Crazy CD intertwines tracks almost flawlessly.

RIP, Hollow Kingdom quote.

My new one's Nightwish lyrics. Thankies, Evisse, it's all your fault. :D

It is no longer appropriate to be after impressing young women, so my former quote should be laid to rest from now on:

It was fun, but now is over. We move to new horizons with Mark 10:8 :D

RIP:

Do I bathe in wonders, do I dwell in dreams, Have I been touched by spirits finding me when I'm asleep, The melody of moments keeps me awake at night, The eyes of storytellers following me secretly, My senses capture me
From the very beautiful song "Senses Capture' by Norwegian band Leaves Eyes.

I realized that for a while now I've only been quoting songs in my sigs, and keeping them a relatively short time. :rolleyes:

Hihi. Can't say how happy this makes me :D *hugs Elannar*

Way past time to put this one to rest, even though no one has seen the link between it and Barrow Wight's avatar. Sometimes I am just too subtle. ;)

New one on the way, I guess, when I find something appropriate.

I rather liked this quote, I wonder if anybody knows where it's from.

Here comes a candle to light you to bed and here comes the chopper to chop off your head...

It's from an old nursery rhyme and a children's game called Oranges and Lemons.

Fun to play and appeals to the more gruesome side of a child's personality.

I found that out secondly after I'd heard the quote and only those words in two interesting places: The movie Closet Land and Orwell's 1984.

Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

Despite the praise ... I have been accused by someone of being too girly so ... :D

It's everywhere hiding the listener. Without it I could not live. Silence.


I came up with a more appropriate one...

Fare thee well...
 

From A.S. Exupery's The Little Prince...

"...who's got their claws in you, my friend,
into your heart I'll beat again." Crash (DMB)
Tol-in-Gauroth


This lyric from Dave Mathews Band, Crash I found to be quite fitting. Most obvious the 'claw part', as in wolves; the 'my friend' because I was innocent and concerned for other innocents.
The 'into your heart, I'll beat again' because I was the seer and after my death all would be looking back to all that I said and therefore I would 'live' again.

Rip:
 

"Golden apples from the grove fall down the tree/
And make all the Bacchants gather in Arcady/To dance on the Festival of the Tragedy/And eat the fruits of ecstasy"

Lyrics from (if you'll pardon the disagreeable repetition) 'From the Dionysian Days' - by Therion. I love this song. The world still has need of Arcady. :)

My new one is very tongue in cheek but I can't be held responsible for it, oh no. :p Blame Mr Ezra Pound. I intend to keep it for a longer while *crosses fingers*

I hate Math and anything that reminds me of it, so I'll get rid of this:
It's actually a lesson I learned to make my Math class less of a torture chamber than it actually is.

But now I'm beginning to think I should assign this to Mordor instead... :D

The one who's barely there
Is the one to be 'ware
Tol-in-Gauroth III


When Shelob, Oddwen and I were the wolves and we went with the strategy of all of us being "quiet".

I lay to rest...

Wonderfully weird: a quote from Snitter, one of the main characters in Richard Adams' 'The Plague Dogs', one of my favourite books. I liked that siggy very much, but hey, time to move on...

Farewell to:

Ah, enough with anagrams and WW games... for a while.

Join the Bandwagon!
dancing spawn of ungoliant - awful posting cannonading

It's time for something new.

*sniffle* That song makes me cry...but now it's time for my revenge on Falky. She really did sing that! *points down at new siggy*

To be used no more (on this forum, at least):

But I'm not finished with Lord Peter yet. ;)
