‘Traveller, there is no road,
the road is made as you go…’
                           Antonio Machado

over a hill
or round a bend

somewhere

a signpost

‘no through road’

You know this is a prime example of what I can't seem to do, but you always seem to do milner.  If I would have written this I would have added 'there's' before 'a signpost' thinking it had to be there.  But you don't use it and don't need it all.  It obvious what you're saying.  Such skill, milner.

good one,
cheryl

brings to mind that Frost poem, 'two roads...'
do you take the one marked 'no through road' or the other?

brings to mind the last 10 years.  good write.

thanks,

tiko

!!

In fact there is no road in the word, but when many people set foot on it, there will be a road. Best wishes.

Aha. Your little motto translated at last. No hablo español, personally, so it's a pleasure to read this.

Reminded me of Cavafy's Ithaka poem. You know that one, of course?

Cheers

Use of language should always depend on the 'voice' or style you're in Cheryl. I find the style I'm currently using greatly assists, indeed forces me to concentrate more on every word, and judge on its necessity. For someone with the inbuilt virtue of laziness, this is a spur.

Will there be a choice, Tom?

Gracias, danke, SL.

Thanks, Richard.

Tiko, may the next ten + be blessed.

A bit inconsiderate, David, I'll think on adding the translation.
Don't know that poem, I'll make up for it now. Thanks.

Obliged to all

milner

Hang on, I thought that's what you'd just done?

Caminante, no hay camino etc. - isn't that your opening?

Milner, if I get there first, I'll PM you and let you know. If you do, I'll watch out for your PM. Deal? Tom

Should we have another thread for an ouija board? That could extend our audience considerably, Tom. Many of those hanging about in eternity must be god-awful bored.

I meant putting that translation on all my posts, David, for the benefit (or otherwise) of those who haven't read it on this thread.

Cheers

milner

Yes! Sorry about that, I was being a bit thick. In all fairness, I had just returned from a wedding do, at which there had been both traditional dancing and traditional drinking, and I'd like that to be entered as a mitigating circumstance.

Cheers

David

Perfetly undershtanderble, David, hiccup.

For me, as for Tom, I thought of this as a kind of update on the Frost poem. Much enjoyed, milner.
