Audrey Hepburn's favorite poem.

Unending Love.

I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times…
In life after life, in age after age, forever.
My spellbound heart has made and remade the necklace of songs,
That you take as a gift, wear round your neck in your many forms,
In life after life, in age after age, forever.

Whenever I hear old chronicles of love, it’s age-old pain,
It’s ancient tale of being apart or together.
As I stare on and on into the past, in the end you emerge,
Clad in the light of a pole-star piercing the darkness of time:
You become an image of what is remembered forever.

You and I have floated here on the stream that brings from the fount.
At the heart of time, love of one for another.
We have played along side millions of lovers, shared in the same
Shy sweetness of meeting, the same distressful tears of farewell-
Old love but in shapes that renew and renew forever.

Today it is heaped at your feet, it has found its end in you
The love of all man’s days both past and forever:
Universal joy, universal sorrow, universal life.
The memories of all loves merging with this one love of ours –
And the songs of every poet past and forever.

Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941, written in 1890).

Well I never...

Over the past few days I've been thinking about it, & the time has come (as the walrus said), to start applying for (media-based-preferably within PR) internships!
 This means that today I'll be re-looking at my CV, crafting an interesting, yet informative cover letter (I hope!) & applying to anything that looks interesting!
 Although, because the competition is bound to be pretty tough, I think I'm going to have to come up with a more creative way of marketing myself, AKA not using the standard CV format...This will inevitably lead to several spider diagrams!  
 All the thinking I've been doing about applying for internships & shizzle has, in turn, led me to thinking about what to wear to interviews, etc...

If I had a decent wage (*sigh*), I would fully be clicking 'buy' on this right now! & maybe this one... but I'm not sure if it's a little too messy? I suppose it would depend on what the company was like. But I really do love a nice dress - it's so effortless to create a 'look', yet can seem really put-together & professional. Laaavely!

Oh! Something else I decided to blog about today, was inspired by an old women who came into work - she had the most lovely, old-fashioned voice, that really reminded me of old movie stars such as Audrey Hepburn
 And! I've just found out from Wikipedia, she recorded a spoken-word CD in 1992 featuring classic children's stories. It sounds amazing! Almost as good as being read a story by Stephen Fry;
 Just reading about Audrey on Wikipedia is making me want to rent all of her other films (the only one I've seen so far was Breckfast at Tiffany's).
I suppose, until then, I will have to make-do with a book I've borrowed from Lyzz, by Stephen Fry called The Liar. Will let you know my thoughts on the book soon!

Asher Roth

One more swift Youtube video - it's Asher Roth doing a Radio 1 live lounge version of his single "I love college".
I think the best part is just how much he's smiling throughout the whole thing! Cute.

Example/Ke$ha.

It's terrible - over the past few days, I keep thinking of things to blog about, but haven't been near my computer, or have just been doing other things! So, I've been (slightly genius-ly) making notes on my phone :)
So I think I'll put them in separate posts, to make things easier...
Anyways;
Firstly was something I came across on youtube;


It's Example covering Ke$ha's Tic Tok in the Radio 1 Live Lounge, which I thought was pretty ace!
Although it's embarrassing to admit, I quite like the original, but this version is a really nice contrast.
