Abigail has tagged me for the second meme of the week, but this one is a fun one, the idea being that you grab the book closes to you, flip on over to page 123 and post sentances 5-9.
The closest book to me at that the time was my art history text (
Art, A Brief History 3rd addition, Marilyn Stokstand), wich had this to say:
The Pergamon frieze is carved in high relief with deep undercutting that creates dramatic contrasts of light and shade that play over complex forms. Compositionally, the Pergamene sculptors sought to balance opposing forces in three dimentional space along diagonal lines, whereas Greek artists of the fifth century BCE sought equilibrium and control through balanced horizontals and virticals. Some figures in the Pergamon frieze even extend beyond the architectural setting onto the steps, where visitors had to pass them on their way up to the shrine (see sculptural figures at far left, fig. 5-9).
And then I decided that text books shouldn't count as that was posably the most boring thing anyone has ever written, ever.
so instead I grabbed the closest non-text book, which was
Go Diego Go, Rescue Truck Saves The Day, which obviously doesn't have 123 pages, so the next closest one was
Self by Yann Martel:
This preluded by PMS so bad they circled at least one day a month when they would "disconnect from reality". This is an arduous feminine normality. It would push anyone to worship the goddess Anaprox. But even in these cases, I feel that the burden remains a meaningful burden.
