Gentle Sir Philip Sidney, thou knew'st what belong'd to a scholler; thou knew'st what pains, what toil, what travail conduct to perfection.
About Me
- Piers
- West Tennessee, United States
- "I am grown at length to see into the vanity of the world more than ever I did, and now I condemn myself for nothing so much as playing the dolt in print . . . . There is nothing that if a man list he may not wrest or pervert. I cannot forbid any to think villainously, Sed caveat emptor, let the interpreter beware; for none ever heard me make allegories of an idle text."

Perhaps these young ladies came to school already in relationships with guys who wanted to demarcate that relationship for a variety of reasons: anything aas innocuous as a token and as selfish as a claim-staker -- probably somewhere in between.
An older guy I dated briefly at the end of high school wanted to send me to Auburn with his fraternity pin -- effectively a precursor to engagement. I wasn't ready to be serious in any case, but my parents, who had been in the Greek system and knew exactly what this gesture meant, had a conniption.
