New Lij icon, pic courtesy of undone27. *le sigh*

The words are from a Pablo Neruda poem that I translated a while back. Don't have my translation in front of me at the moment, but I'll edit to add it when I get home from work this evening.

Sweet Aphrodite, but he's lovely.

Beautiful, beautiful man. Lovely icon, too.

Hey, Serai - a completely OT question after the story: One of my dearest friends, after whom my elder daughter is named, just lost her beloved young feral rescue cat ('Samwise' - whose gentle little heart gave out); with her permission, my younger daughter (Sarah) and I found a teen ocelot spotted tabby (with whom we've fallen in love). She is considering naming her for my daughter.

Is 'Serai' a form of 'Sarah'? Is there a meaning to it? Such a pretty name, and exotic, like the kitten (and you!). Would you mind if I suggested it?

I've been told that the original form of Sarah is "Sarai", which means "princess" in Hebrew. However, Serai is not derived from that. It's the name of a character in a fic I never quite wrote, and it's Harad. (At least, that's what she told me.)

But feel free to suggest it, by all means!

You are a dear - and the lovely name deserves a story. You know, it is very Tolkien for names to evoke meanings from themselves and their sounds. 'Serai' does that. Thank you for letting me suggest it!
