Eva’s Byte #524 – Just Saying
“I look like the wreck of the Hesperus!”
“I feel like the wreck of the Hesperus!”
Two of mother’s favorite sayings. She often invoked these variants after toiling in the yard, or on days she didn’t like how her hair looked before leaving the house.
The buck didn’t stop there. If I looked the worse for wear from one of life’s travails: “You look like the wreck of the Hesperus!”
A state of disarray similar to the aftermath of a shipwreck bears in mind the poem, “The Wreck of the Hesperus,” by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
In my capacity as a writer, I’m sailing along the ongoing draft of chapter 15 (856 words thus far) of my Contemporary work in progress.
*When called for, may each of us apply a tried-and-true saying that fits.
My sincere appreciation to you for reading this far.
