From Hiawatha by Longfellow as quoted by Katharine Hepburn's character in Desk Set.
(Where she lived)
By the shores of Gitche Gumee,
By the shining Big-Sea-Water,
Stood the wigwam of Nokomis,
Daughter of the Moon, Nokomis.
Later a description of a lightening bug:
Little, flitting, white-fire insect,
Little, dancing, white-fire creature,
Light me with your little candle,
Ere upon my bed I lay me,
Ere in sleep I close my eyelids!

You know, the Native American headdresses
[aka Comanche War Bonnets] were quite
remarkable with their red and yellow plumes
of turkey feathers, colorful beaded rosettes etc.
These weren't worn by the Indian Chief simply
for show, rather he wore them..
I like haberdasher too. It brings to mind: The emperor has no clothes.
I needed this one today. I saw a young man who looked like a kid to me driving on Poplar Avenue and said to my better half, "Is he old enough to drive?" Then we laughed when I realized, Uh,oh, I must be getting old.
It's been a few years since young 20-somethings started looking like children to me so a teenager behind the wheel was a real surprise.
I like this one, too.
Any idea why the crinkle crankle walls were made that way?
It's happening to me at work, now, too. Fetuses are walking around the office.
