Temps Perdu
by Dorothy Parker
I never may turn the loop of a road Where sudden, ahead, the sea is lying, But my heart drags down with an ancient load-- My heart, that a second before was flying.
I never behold the quivering rain-- And sweeter the rain than a lover to me-- But my heart is wild in my breast with pain; My heart, that was tapping contentedly.
There’s never a rose spreads new at my door Nor a strange bird crosses the moon at night But I know I have known its beauty before, And a terrible sorrow along with the sight.
The look of a laurel tree birthed for May Or a sycamore bared for a new November Is as old and as sad as my furtherest day-- What is it, what is it, I almost remember?

I rasoi fanno male; i fiumi sono freddi; l'acido macchia; i farmaci danno i crampi. Le pistole sono illegali; i cappi cedono; il gas fa schifo. Tanto vale vivere.

April 1994. His will sapped by a magic spell, Superman spurns both Lois and Batman for the Silver Banshee in Book 3 of the LEGENDS OF THE WORLD'S FINEST miniseries. Batman is, to borrow a phrase from Dorothy Parker, not tossed aside lightly, but thrown with great force.

Jimmy hobnobs with royalty: Romania's Queen Marie, with Mayor Walker on her arrival in New York, October 18, 1926, as she started her extended journey across America.
The queen is immortalized in Dorothy Parker's well-known ditty:
Oh, life is a glorious cycle of song, A medley of extemporanea, And love is a thing that can never go wrong, And I am Marie of Romania.

Unfortunate Coincidence
by Dorothy Parker
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.
