I fell in love with a boy who gave me this Yeats' poem:
Had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
I love Tchaikovsky--my favorite composer. An interesting choice for a favorite opera however. I can't say I remember what his sounds like. Man, he was so misunderstood in his time.
Great Meme...!

Bring your books and your music, pull the rocking chair closer to the woodstove, and I'll brew a cup of Earl Grey...
Happy Valentines Day, Amy-
