Have you read posts #11 and #12? William Shakesjed and John BC Keats spent hours polishing those lines.

Yes, I have. I wrote that I liked them very much! Thanks:up:

Jed RR Tolkien might have written:

One Love to wound them all, One Love to blind them
One Love to soothe them all, and in the darkness bind them.

It is hilarious! Genious! Unfortunately, the whole world will know at once that I've stolen those lines, if I decide to use something like this

I didn't put the '©' on them.

I like your sentences! They are perfect! I just thought that strange form of narration my friend offered would be understandable for native speakers. Unfortunatelly, I am not so free in using strange forms as Tolkien is. Thank you for help!;-)

I think 5jj's 'balm' sounds more 'olde worlde' than BC's 'ointment'. His lines reminded me of Nahum Tate's words, set to music here.

If I may dare to make a humble suggestion to Master 5:

One Love to wound them all, One Love to blind them
One Love to soothe them all, and with a balm to tranquilize them.

I'm afraid 'tranquilize'' feels a bit anachronistic to me (although the first use recorded here is '1620s'. . So, maybe... ;-)

There are no wounds more painful than those that Love inflicts.
There is no balm more soothing that that which Love applies.

Did I really write that bilge?

According to Spanish popular wisdom, it is not serious until you start keeping the iron in the fridge! ;-)

So that's where it was. I'd been looking for it all morning. Thanks.
