imagineforever. Always a fun meme.
01. Grab the nearest book.
02. Open the book to page 123
03. Find the fifth sentence
04. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
05. Don't search for the coolest book you can find. Do what's actually next to you.
Aaaand we get...
"In a roofed garden, among the bergamots and the lyrebirds and the jets of fountains, she came toward me, cloaked in indigo, a mask on her face, green silk dotted with white gold, a strand of aquamarine on her brow..."
From If on a winter's night a traveler by Italo Calvino
I mostly decided to do the meme because that was the book nearest me, and I knew something cool would come of it :) I'm reading this for Experimental Fiction, and it's just a really awesome book. Yay. And yes, the sentence does just go into an ellipse. I don't know why, I haven't gotten there yet! lol ^_^
