As a burning arrow, mine heart flew thither on the swift wings of love. Say not that the prosperous days are away, say not that the ship is gone! Let your eyes shine, and surely you will see again that which is bright, and fair, and true.' --Ivan [1] ## I (A.Appleyard) suspect that `uu queta' should be 2 words.
