Personally I love this poem because of the rhythm create between the words "caminante" and "camino", but unfortunately it is not in any version above. Having said that, I think Sean's translation is closer to the richness and beauty of this poem.<br /><br />I've just read that this blog is over.

Also, it began with their travels and meeting Evanjalin the novice, so initially we had no idea of who anyone is. But once we get into the flow, it makes sense and feels good :)Ashna https://www.blogger.com/profile/12736664196142668981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6524847123828720703.post-87735270719212988252011-09-26T18:10:19.475-04:002011-09-26T18:10:19.475-04:00Omg this feels like the end of the era!

Thanks for that.<br /><br />Wow, 9 months and 99 posts! That's pretty cool.<br /><br />OMG, you're right! You're the top result for Simple Little Bookworm in Google! How incredible! Not everybody can say that they're the top of a search term. Good for you. ^_^<br /><br />Even if you quit SLB, I hope I'll still get to see you around the blogosphere. Keep in touch through comments. And if you ever decide to start another blog on something totally different, just let me know.

I do wonder what it would have been like reading at 11 or 12. I had the love interest figured out in the first book. :)<br /><br />Mine too! I didn't love it the same way I loved SHIVER, but I didn't love the rest of the series as much as I loved SHIVER either. Of course, her prose is lovely all around.<br /><br />I'm so jazzed about DIVERGENT. Will report back!S.L.

I'm so grateful!<br /><br />Yes! It was my senior project for my communications minor. I wrote a paper about the history of medical TV shows, taught myself how to write/format a TV show, watched A LOT of Grey's over again, and wrote an episode called "Try a Little Tenderness." It was such a proud moment when I turned it in. (Won "Best Television Script" at the CMS awards ceremony!)<br /><br />Oh, no! You missed me by a few months. :( I'm going to be a permanent New Yorker after the course is over. If you ever get into the city though, I'd be happy to meet up with you/have you stay over.

But if I remember correctly, you regularly live in Boston, right?<br /><br />My family and I will go to Boston sometime in August, and I thought it would be really awesome to meet you, and talk about publishing and stuff!
