azhong wrote:I am never a man of laziness, my dear. My lungs, as you can see now, work endlessly, twenty-four hours a day, expanding and contracting. And my heart is also diligent; it works day after night--nope, no, non, nein, you guess wrong. I am not talking about that how it circulates my blood, sweetie. My heart never stops missing you, even for a single second of being absent-mindedness, day-dreaming. Whenever I see waves, clouds, or occasionally a seagull, I see nothing but your face, your eyes, but more than often your smile. You know I am a sailor; my life at sea is buoyant.

azhong wrote:Well, was it because of my clumsy English? Anyway, I know I'm still a trainee in English learning, but by the by not at all in navigation. I am quite an experienced sailor; I can steer well on the waves with a pair of oars well during the waves, I can perform flamenco and tango on swing deck, and, not boasting, I can dialogue with dolphins and seagulls.
azhong wrote:"Maybe 'to steer a pair of oars' is awkward and should be better replaced with 'to steer a boat with a pair of oars'."

Moonlight flew shone/shined in through the window when as we started our polite, social chat, and I didn't expect this occasional talk, with a casual beginning, would change my life from then on.

It was a peaceful political demonstration and was called the Baltic Chain or Chain of Freedom. (Adapted from wikipedia)

I tried to plough through the inundated byway that petered into the city, but suddenly, like a schlemiel, I fell into a pond that I hadn't realized was there. Two kids looking at me through the sash window of their house, cachinnated in a way that sounded almost like a threnody.
Synalepha wrote:I crossed the city and then a marshland unil I reached a morose outback. The curlicued finials of the temple where looming through the fog. The temple, a sanctum cordoned off from the rest of the world by gilt walls and battlements, was surrrounded by fields of ragweed, tarweed and sorrel in which blowsy sharecroppers and other pissants would work till dusk. The temple was the oddest building I had ever seen, so imposing and queerly designed.
Synalepha wrote:The nave of the temple was unfathomably long, the storiated clerestories were as tall as the eye could see. Everything was bedecked with a panoply of motley arabesques and millefleurs that augmented one's sense of ecstasy. In the apse, the swoony high priest was chanting lilting litanies to the Whippoorwill God. The entire scenery was mantled with ghastly darkness.

I'm pretty sure I never wrote that.

It was actually the parody that had such character that characteristic. Maybe I simply missed a "had" or "got".
